Talk:Geological history of the Chiricahua Mountains

[Untitled]
Great page! Overall it is a very aesthetic page that does well at conveying the information. I'd maybe spend a little bit of time in the introduction talking about what differentiates this range with the area around it. Also maybe showing a larger area in the location map to show where the range is. I really like the summary bar you set up on the right hand side of the page.

Hi Mellissa

Nice work, You elaborated well upon the history of the Chiricahua Mountains.

I have some suggestions

•	Title before the contents.

•	Geologic map to show the final product of this deformation history (including lat. and long.)

•	Model (multistage figure) to show stages of evolution of these mountains from Precambrian to recent?

•	What is the relationship between these mountains and the surrounding mountains? Good Luck

Hello Melissa,

Your page is well done. However, there are a few things I have noticed.

Grammar error: In the Mesozoic section, there is an error at your second linked/highlighted set of words "upliftand erosion."

Image: You may want to use a map on wiki commons to show where the Chiricahua Mountains are located. This thumbnail should help (I made it really small in code).

Information: In the Paleozoic section, you reference an ancient sea. Does the sea have a name?

Stratigraphic Column: Is there any way you could implement a stratigraphic column showing the history of deposition for the area? I believe this would greatly benefit the article.

Grammar error: The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens only expelled one tench of a cubic mile of magma.

Image: "More than 100 cubic meters of magma erupted from the volcano, blanketing more than 1,200 square miles of the surrounding area in hot ash and pumice." - Is there an aerial image showing the extent of this eruption?

Overall, great job.

Hello Melissa, these are my suggestions 1.	Add more information about the volcanic activity of the region. 2.	Explain the causes of the two orogenic events. 3.	Add a map of the range so readers can see the scale and location. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jelorr1 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Melissa,

Your figures are great and I like the set up of the main one. A few things I noticed were: Most important are the citations. None of this is common knowledge, so each sentence needs a reference. You need a title. The intro needs to be more rich and enticing to make readers continue down the page. More references to make the text diverse. The space beside the Horst and Graben image needs work. The balanced rock image should be near the end when you talk about them, and the rhyolite canyon image moved up. The "see also" section is not aligned properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sara8s001 (talk • contribs) 01:37, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
