Look at the upper portions and margins of the alluvial fans shown on the map and in the stereogram (especially the alluvial fan at the mouth of “Grotto Canyon”). In recent years does it appear that erosion or deposition has been more prominent at the tops of these fans?
The questions on the following page are based on Figure 45-4, a stereogram of the Stovepipe Wells region of Death Valley, California, Figure 45-5, a portion of the “Stovepipe Wells, California” quadrangle (scale 1:62,500; contour interval 80 feet; north is to the left side of the stereogram and topographic map), and Map T-27a, color aerial imagery of this same region of Death Valley. Several large alluvial fans that come out of the Tucki Mountains are coalescing to form a bajada 136°35'17"N, 117°06'35"W).
