Geology
The Yosemite National Park has a glaciated landscape that is adorned with underlying rocks, creating the captivating scenery of the park. The park features a variety of rounded domes, jagged peaks, u-shaped canyons, moraines and waterfalls which create a striking mix of landscape in the park.
Hydrology
The park is home to the tallest waterfall of North America, the Yosemite Falls. The flow of water has shaped the landscape of this area quite significantly while the spring floods have altered the shape of the land quite a few times. A lot of areas of the park feature snowfall during the winter season every year, another important source of water for the falls and connected lakes.
