South Tufa, Mono Lake, CA (Jack)

How Water Makes Rock:
When calcium-rich springs flow up through the lake botton, the calcium bonds to carbonates in the lake water. Together they form calcium carbonate, a type of limestone. This solid material builds on itself, gradually forming a tufa tower. When the lake level drops, the exposed tufa stops growing.
