Everything about The Acoma-zuni Section totally explained
The
Acoma-Zuni Section is a
physiographic section of the larger
Colorado Plateaus province, which in turn is part of the larger
Intermontane Plateaus physiographic division. It isbounded on the east by the Albuquerque Basin, a
Rio Grande Rift basin in the northern part of the
Basin and Range Province. The
Datil-Mogollon Section lies to the south. It is also a newly defined physiographic unit that includes the northern part of the area previously designated the Datil Section. The southeastern edge of the Colorado Plateau from Springerville,
Arizona, northeastward to the tip of the Sierra Nacimiento comprise this area.
Geology
The Rio San Jose, the major tributary to the
Rio Puerco, drains much of the Acoma-Zuni Section. The eastern edge of the Acoma-Zuni Section is where the less-deformed rocks of the Colorado Plateau are truncated by the
Neogene Rio Grande Rift, from the northern La Jencia Basin, Ladron Mountains, Mesa Lucero, and Rio Puerco fault zone to the southeastern edge of the Sierra Nacimiento. Much of the remainder of the section is late Neogene volcanic landforms—volcanoes (
cinder cones and
composite cones),
lava flows,
necks, and
dikes, interspersed with erosional and aggradational landforms and bedrock structures typical of the Colorado Plateau.
