23、ic coast. The most difficult part of their trip was crossing the “Great American Desert in the western part of the United States by horse and wagon.The western desert can be very dangerous. There is little water and there are few trees. But the desert also has scenery of great beauty. Tall towers of

24、 red and yellow stone rise sharply from the flat sandy valley floor. The scene has been photographed many times and appears in movies and in TV. In Arizona, man made dams across the Colorado River have made two large lakes in the middle of the dry desert country. At Lake Powell, the red stone arch o

25、f Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake. There are few roads. Many areas of Lake Powells shore can only be reached by boat or on foot.

In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone（石灰岩） cliffs on which they had been built. While expert

47、s were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea. Erosion(侵蚀)of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be given up

48、 as the sea has crept farther and farther inland.
