Sundog seen in the Mojave Desert sky, USA

Sundog. View of a sundog (parhelia) in the Mojave Desert sky. This optical atmospheric effect is a luminous and sometimes colourful area which appears on both sides of the Sun. It is at the same elevation in the sky as the Sun. Sundogs are caused by the refraction of sunlight in hexagonal ice crystals present in the atmosphere. Photographed in California, USA

Granite rock exposed to spheroidal weathering

Spheroidal weathering. View of rounded granite rocks in the Mojave Desert. The rounding has been caused by a type of chemical weathering known as spheroidal weathering. This is a process where rainwater erodes the rock's outer layers by chemically reacting with the rock (hydrolysis). This results in the rock becoming less resistant to physical erosion. The rain water will then wash away the outer layers of rock, leaving the rounded boulders. Photographed in California, USA
