Abiotic+Factors

===One of the most important abiotic factors in Bryce Canyon is water. Water is important to this national park because this factor forms one of the most fragile and unique structures in the world, hoodoos. One of the main reasons that tourists come to see this national park is because of the Hoodoos. Hoodoos are formed through a special process called, the Freeze-and-Thaw cycle. The Freeze-and-Thaw cycle comes to play through two main factors, water and temperature. The Freeze-and-Thaw cycle is also known as weathering. Weathering happens for many reasons, such as when it rains. When it rains the water is absorbed by the ground and sinks through. The water causes the ground to become moist and when cold air comes it attacks the moist areas. The cold air causes the water to freeze, which causes the ground to spread apart. Once the cold air goes away, the ground is still spread apart. So after it becomes warm again and seasons change the cycle will continue.===

===The other important abiotic factor in Bryce Canyon is temperature. Temperature is important to this national park because this factor is one of the main sources that contributes to the Freeze-and-Thaw cycle.===

===I believe that those are the two most important abiotic factors for what they did to this national park. The whole national park known as Bryce Canyon was formed by extreme weathering, which led to what we know today. If these two abiotic factors were never introduced into this national park, the national park would look a lot different. If it weren't for these factors, there probably wouldn't be any national park at all.===
