One of the most unique "Natural" arches in
this area, Window Rock is really something to
see!
A natural arch or natural bridge is a natural formation (or
landform) where a rock arch forms, with a natural passageway
through underneath. Most natural arches form as a narrow ridge,
walled by cliffs, become narrower from erosion, with a softer rock
stratum under the cliff-forming stratum gradually eroding out until
the rock shelters thus formed meet underneath the ridge, thus
forming the arch. Natural arches commonly form where cliffs are
subject to erosion from the sea, rivers or weathering (sub-aerial
processes); the processes "find" weaknesses in rocks and work on
them, making them bigger until they break through. This particular
natural arch was formed over countless years by wind erosion from
the strong winds coming up the mountain slopes from the Sequatchie
valley below.
