When It Came a National Park
 October 25, 1923- Creation of Carlsbad caverns National
Monument.
 April 2, 1924-Executive Order
 May 3, 1928-Supplemental Executive Order
 May 14, 1930-Creation of Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Why It Came a National Park
 It was made a national park when the senate and house of
representatives of united states of America that the land known as
the Carlsbad caverns national monument, in the state of New
Mexico, established and chosen under the act of June 8,1906,
entitled “An act for the preservation of American antiquities,”
and presidential proclamation of October 25, 1923, be, and the
same hereby declare to be a national park and dedicated as a public
park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people under the name
of the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The Carlsbad caverns were
discovered by James White a young cowboy when he scared a flock
of bats from a hole in the ground.
Environmental issues in the
Carlsbad caverns
 One of the most dangers is air quality from the power plants
and wells producing oil and gas in the area and in Grand
River valley with all the gas and oil activities they had to
install a portable ozone monitoring site unit to record the
ozone in warm months of the year. It affects the park by
infecting the visibility in the caves. Soil quality is another
issue and it is from soil and trash falling into the river and
effect the quality of the river.
Important Landforms
 The Chihuahuan Desert: The largest wettest desert in North
America and is preserved and protected.
 The Guadalupe Mountains: a mountain range that runs from
west Texas into southeastern New Mexico.
 The limestone caves of the Carlsbad caverns national park: It
contain more than 119 limestone caves under the desert
above.

Limestone caves
Technology uses for preserving and
maintain park
 Technology is can be used for managing animals such as bats,
Mountain lions and migrating birds. It can also can be used to
study microbiology which is the study of microscopic
organisms and mammalogy which is the study of mammals.

Type of rocks
 In my national park there are hundreds of different types of
rocks but most of the caverns are limestone from the ancient
sea once there millions of years ago.
How the park formed
 The park was formed when water gets in the cracks and
freezes to then expand the cracks into mile long caverns and
when water eroded the ground moving rocks through the
caverns and dropped of away from where they started.
How are the Carlsbad caverns
changing
 people have caused change in surface water flow patterns,
change in pollution of water passing though routes, changes
in cave airflow patterns and drastic change to cave climate in
a very small place.
