Geological Environmental Resources <br /> <br />Colorado is divided by the Rocky Mountains into three parts that <br /> <br />differ in topography, geology, natural resources, climate and human <br /> <br />activities. The eastern part, in the Great Plains Province, is <br /> <br />characterized geologically by relatively undisturbed, flat-lying <br /> <br />sedimentary rocks. The middle part of the State, in the Mountain <br /> <br />c.o <br />an <br />C\l <br />o <br /> <br />Province, has rocks of many kinds and ages divided into many different <br /> <br />structural units. The western part of the State, in the Plateau <br /> <br />Province, in some ways resembles the plains and in some ways the <br /> <br />mountains. Like the plains, it is characterized by relatively <br /> <br />undisturbed sedimentary rocks; but as in the mountains, the upland <br /> <br />~ areas are at high altitudes and are separated by deep valleys and <br /> <br />canyons. <br /> <br />The principal geologic units in Colorado are described below in <br />
