	Natural arch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Natural bridges can form from natural limestone caves, where paired sinkholes collapse and a ridge of stone is left standing in between, with the cave passageway connecting from sinkhole to sinkhole.

	Natural - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Natural is defined as "of or relating to nature"; this applies to both definitions of 'nature': 'essence' ("one's true nature") and 'the untouched world' ("force of nature").

	Kolob Arch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kolob Arch is a natural arch located in Zion National Park in the US state of Utah.
		According to some methods of measurement it is the longest known natural bridge in the world, a title which it must compete with Landscape Arch to claim.
		The arch is also set close to a cliffside that it frames, and due to this one cannot see sky through the arch from the hiking trail.

	Utah - Natural Bridges National Monument
		Natural Bridges are formed by running water and hence are much rarer than arches, which result from a variety of other erosional forces.
		This is also the reason why bridges tend to be found within canyons, sometimes quite hidden, whereas arches are usually high and exposed, as they are often the last remnants of rock cliffs and ridges.
		Attractions: Unlike Arches National Park, with over 2000 classified arches, there are only three bridges here although the area also has some scattered Indian cliff dwellings, pictographs and scenic white sandstone canyons.
