Zion National Park Checkerboard Mesa Geology stock photo

Zion National Park Checkerboard Mesa Geology "Deep furrows have been cut, like a checkerboard, taking millions of years to carve in the Navajo sandstone. The horizontal furrows were cut during the Jurassic period by wind-blown sands of the huge ancient sand dunes that spread out over the land in place of the massive monoliths you see in Zion National Park today. A freeze and thaw process is responsible for gradually widening the furrows along vertical joints. The vertical slits were formed much later after brittle rock had formed." Arrangement Stock Photo

Frequently asked questions


What's a royalty-free license?
Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that content. It's a win-win, and it's why everything on iStock is only available royalty-free — including all Arrangement images and footage.
What kinds of royalty-free files are available on iStock?
Royalty-free licenses are the best option for anyone who needs to use stock images commercially, which is why every file on iStock — whether it’s a photo, illustration or video clip — is only available royalty-free.
How can you use royalty-free images and video clips?
From social media ads to billboards, PowerPoint presentations to feature films, you're free to modify, resize and customize every asset on iStock — including all Arrangement images and footage — to fit your projects. With the exception of "Editorial use only" photos (which can only be used in editorial projects and can't be modified), the possibilities are limitless.
