Mhlawumbi enye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo ngokuphathelele iArches kukuba ipaki iyaqhubeka ihamba. Kwiminyaka eyi-18 eyadlulayo, kuye kwaqhambuka ezibini eziphambili: Isiqalo esikhulu se-Landscape Arch ngo-1991, kunye ne-Wall Arch ngo-2008. Bobabini bakhonza njengezikhumbuzo ukuba ezi zakhiwo aziyi kuhlala ngonaphakade-sonke isizathu esivakalayo sokutyelela kungekudala.

Imilambo yaseColorado neGreen iyahlula ipaki ibe zezithili ezine: isiqithi esibhakabhakeni, iinqwelo, i-Maze, kunye nemifula ngokwabo. Ngelixa izithili zelana ne-atmospheric atmosphere, ngamnye ugcina uhlamvu lwakhe kwaye unikezela ngamathuba ahlukeneyo ekuhlolisweni nasekufundeni imbali yemveli nenkcubeko.

Ukunyanzelisa iHlabathi yeSizwe ePaki
Ukunyuka kwe-Erosion kwakuqaphela i-dessert edwebileyo ukutyhila iingqungquthela ezininzi ozibonayo namhlanje. Umbala ngamnye umele ixesha elithile lembali ye-geologic. © Lauren Himiak Ukucetyiswa kweHlabathi yeSizwe yePlabathi kuhlala umzekelo wembali yethu, ukutyhila iindawo ezinkulu zehlabathi ezinobumba obunemibala ebomvu. Ukutyelela kufana nokuhamba emva kwexesha eliya kwilizwe elihlala lihluke kakhulu kunalo esaziyo.
