    Capitol Reef National Park is located in south-central Utah. The sedimentary layers are tilted because of tectonic activity. All sedimentary rocks are laid down horizontally in a basin. The layers become tilted because of tectonic processes such as folding and faulting and compression and tension. The sedimentary layers are made of sandstone, limestone and some volcanic ash.
