	Hoodoo (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hoodoos are tall thin spires of rock that protrude from the bottom of arid basins and badlands.
		Hoodoos are most commonly found in the High Plateaus region of the Colorado Plateau and in the Badlands regions of the Northern Great Plains (both in North America).
		Hoodoos in the Bryce Canyon area are formed by two weathering processes that continuously work together in eroding the edges of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.

	Hoodoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The goal of hoodoo is to allow people access to supernatural forces to improve their daily lives by gaining power in many areas of life, including gambling, love, divination, cursing one's enemies, treatment of disease, employment, and necromancy.
		Hoodoo is used as a noun to describe a magic spell or potion, as a descriptor for a practitioner (hoodoo doctor, hoodoo man or hoodoo woman), or as an adjective or verb depending upon context.
		Hoodoo and Voodoo are often mistaken for one another, but although some believe that the terms may have a common etymology, the latter probably did not influence the former to any great degree.

		Hoodoo is a folk religion or traditional magic which originated in the southern United States.
		While Hoodoo and Voodoo share some elements--the latter probably influencing the former--and may have a common etymology, the terms generally refer to different beliefs and practices: Hoodoo is very informal, largely based on traditional African practices, though it drew significantly from Native American folklore, especially the use of herbs and other botanical elements.

		It shows unusual formations called “hoodoos” that are located several miles west of Pryor along the western edge of the Crow Indian Reservation.
		Hoodoos are pinnacles or pillars of rock that formed when a layer of rock more resistant to erosion overlies a layer of less durable rock.
		These hoodoos were formed because the tough layer of reddish sandstone cemented with iron oxide capped a layer of sandstone (tan) that was not so well-cemented.

	Hoodoo - a geomorphological formation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Hoodoos are columns, pinnacles, or pillars of rock typically produced in a region of sporadic, heavy rainfall by differentially weathering and erosion of horizontal strata (facilitated by joints and/or rock layers of varying hardness).
		The hoodoo forms when erosion along a canyon wall or other surface leaves a pillar, usually cone shaped, of the softer rock that is detached from the canyon wall with a cap stone of the harder rock a top it.
		A hoodoo is a pillar of rock or sediment carved mainly by rain which owes its origin to a resistant caprock or, in the case of till, to a boulder.

		This layer has several rock types including siltstones and mudstones but is predominately limestone.
		In the winter, melting snow, in the form of water, seeps into the cracks and freezes at night.
		When water freezes it expands by almost 10%, bit by bit prying opening cracks, making them ever wider in the same way a pothole forms in a paved road.In addition to frost wedging, what little rain falls in the area also sculpts the hoodoos.
