Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain
Deva Temple is a Шаблон:Convert summit located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, USA.[1] It is situated three miles south of the North Rim's Bright Angel Point, and towers Шаблон:Convert above Bright Angel Canyon. Its nearest higher neighbor is Brahma Temple, 1.5 mile to the south. Other neighbors include Zoroaster Temple 2.5 miles to the south-southwest, Manu Temple three miles to the west-northwest, and Buddha Temple, 3.5 miles to the west. Deva Temple was named by Henry Gannett, a geographer for Clarence Dutton, in following Dutton's practice of naming features in the Grand Canyon after mythological deities, in this case, Deva.[1][2] This geographical feature's name was officially adopted in 1906 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.[1] According to the Köppen climate classification system, Deva Temple is located in a Cold semi-arid climate zone.[3]
Geology
The summit of Deva Temple is composed of cream-colored, cliff-forming, Permian Coconino Sandstone with a small, remnant Kaibab Limestone caprock.[4] The sandstone, which is the third-youngest of the strata in the Grand Canyon, was deposited 265 million years ago as sand dunes. Below the Coconino Sandstone is slope-forming, Permian Hermit Formation, which in turn overlays the Pennsylvanian-Permian Supai Group. Further down are strata of Mississippian Redwall Limestone, Cambrian Tonto Group, and finally Proterozoic Unkar Group at creek level.[5] Precipitation runoff from Deva Temple drains south into the Colorado River via Bright Angel Creek on its west side, and Clear Creek on the east side.
