| - | '''Zabriskie Point''' is a section of [[Death Valley National Park]] (in the [[United States]]) noted for its [[erosion]]al landscape. The terrain is referred to as [[badlands]] because it is very difficult to grow [[Plant|plants]] there. It is composed of [[sediment]]s from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago — long before [[Death Valley]] came into existence. The landscape is in danger of being eroded away due to a nearby diversion of a water channel. | ||
