The Stone Forest is a scenic area located 85km southeast of Kunming, China. Covering hundreds of square kilometers, it features numerous limestone peaks that rise abruptly from the ground resembling bamboo shoots, forests, and pagodas. Research shows the rock formations are over 270 million years old and were formed from an ancient ocean that receded over millions of years, gradually eroding the giant rocks into their current strange shapes. Visitors can wander along walkways between the peaks admiring the unique stone mountains that form poems and pictures like "Lotus Peak" and "Rhinoceros Admiring the Moon".1 Famous Landforms And Landscapes

The Mormon Rocks were formed by the tilted San Andreas fault where the North American and Pacific plates meet. The layers in the rocks show past rainfall amounts, with larger rock pieces indicating more rain. The San Andreas Rift Zone near Cajon Pass was created by an ancient stream bed during an 1857 earthquake. Fossil Falls was formed by water from melted glaciers that created lakes, including Owens Lake, and volcanic activity in nearby mountain ranges. Manzanar was one of the camps that incarcerated over 110,000 Japanese Americans during World War 2, located between Lone Pine and Independence in Owens Valley.Incredible south america

The document discusses Iceland's unique position astride the Mid-Atlantic Ridge tectonic plate boundary. Iceland experiences frequent volcanic eruptions from divergent tectonic activity, with a recent eruption in 2010 from the Eyjafjallaj?kull volcano. Iceland's volcanism, while less destructive than convergent boundaries, helps form new land as the plates pull apart and magma rises to fill the gaps. The island nation has a population of over 300,000, with 92% living in urban areas and the economy dependent on fishing and geothermal/hydropower energy.Terra forming Ascension island

Ascension Island is a barren and dry volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean that was terraformed through reforestation efforts beginning in 1836. Charles Darwin shipped trees to the island to create an artificial forest called Green Mountain, with the goals of capturing more rain, reducing evaporation, and creating fertile soils. Over 200 years later, the highest peak of Green Mountain has become a cloud forest, demonstrating one of the world's first successful experiments in terraforming. Today, Ascension Island attracts visitors for its beautiful environment, clear oceans, challenging terrain, and abundant wildlife.Dotar

The Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil and other South American countries, and is the largest rainforest in the world. It provides essential functions like producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide. However, the Amazon rainforest has been under destruction through activities like deforestation that cut down broad-leaved trees, threatening many plant and animal species as well as the benefits it provides to the global climate.Dunes

This document describes the unique Polish desert landscape of the S?owi¨½ski National Park. It notes that the park protects moving barchan and parabolic dunes that are covering former wet areas. While past attempts to plant pines to stabilize the dunes failed, forests are now growing naturally in low-lying areas. Wandering dunes occasionally bury trees, leaving only dead trunks visible. The dynamic dune area is located between the sea and Lake ?ebsko.Human & Nature

Fly Geyser is located in Nevada and was accidentally created in 1964 during an effort to explore for geothermal energy. Wells were drilled but had to be closed, and mineral-rich water began erupting constantly from one spot. This caused a growing mound of travertine minerals to accumulate, creating unusual rainbow-colored hot spring showers up to 3.7 meters tall.Geography Project - Sligo!!!

Mormon Rocks were formed by water carrying sediments along the San Andreas Fault. Their shape is a result of wind and precipitation acting on the uplifted sandstone formations. Cinder Hill is a cinder cone volcano made of basalt in the Coso Volcanic Field. Fossil Falls was formed by volcanic activity and melted water from glaciers creating a river that smoothed and rounded the basalt rocks. Native Americans who lived in the area created petroglyphs and house rings from local obsidian and basalt.Kultur jardueren agenda, Otsaila eta Martxoa 2013 Aranguren Ibarra

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a slippage of the femoral epiphysis that occurs most commonly in obese adolescent boys and girls during periods of growth. It can be acute, chronic, or acute on chronic with varying degrees of displacement. Diagnosis involves clinical suspicion and radiographic findings. Treatment depends on severity and chronicity but may include pinning, open reduction, bone peg epiphysiodesis, or osteotomy to prevent complications like avascular necrosis and osteoarthritis.Similar to Nat wonders (20)

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith located in the Northern Territory of central Australia. It is over 348 meters tall and 3.6 km long by 2.4 km wide. Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and formed over 550 million years ago from sediment that hardened into sandstone. It is located within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and is best accessed from the town of Alice Springs, 450km away. Tourism has negatively impacted Uluru through human-caused erosion of walking tracks and extinction of a local shrimp from human waste contaminating water sources.Mga kontinente ng daigdig, magagandang tanawin at mga kakaibang hayop

Australia and New Zealand are island nations located in Oceania. Australia is the world's smallest continent and largest island, and is highly diverse with deserts, forests, and reefs. It was formed by volcanic activity and plate tectonics. Indigenous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people lived in Australia for over 40,000 years before European settlement began in the late 18th century. Britain established penal colonies in Australia and over 165,000 British prisoners were sent there. New Zealand comprises two main islands and was first settled by Polynesian Maori people around 1300 CE. Both nations enjoy stable democracies and high standards of living today.Trip to australia

My trip to Australia is 7,000 km by plane. Australia has a small population of 20 million people spread across its large land area. Because of the vast expanses, transportation often relies on small planes and helicopters. Accommodation in Australia is expensive, so travelers should consider hostels or camping. From Melbourne airport, we took a skybus and another bus to our hostel in the city center. The Grampians National Park features eucalyptus forests, lakes, waterfalls, and rock formations like The Pinnacle with stunning views. We also visited McKenzie Falls and The Balconies. Kings Canyon allows hiking around and into the canyon. The Uluru National Park is home to Uluru,Allan Ponniah | 10 mysterious geological wonders

Seljalandsfoss waterfall
Iceland
https://youtu.be/ADTzNUz74gI
Seljalandsfoss waterfall is one of the most impressive
waterfalls in Iceland. In an area packed with phenomenal
sights¡ªfrom glaciers to black sand beaches¡ªit's up
there with the most thrilling. You'll see why for yourself
when you visit.
Explore this 1.2-mile out-and-back trail near ?¨®rsmerkurvegur, Southern.
Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 35 min to
complete. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and running, but you
can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day.
The main reason is the fact that you can see it from behind (there is a deep depression in the
rock); this is what makes Seljalandsfoss so special and why the visit is unique and different from
other places in Iceland.
plitvice lakes national park
Croatia
https://youtu.be/MccNQRMiiV4
The waters flowing over the limestone and chalk have,
over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers,
creating natural dams which in turn have created a series
of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These geological
processes continue today.
These beautiful lakes and the area surrounding them were declared a
national park back in April of 1949 when nature protection measures were
established. A modern road connection to Plitvice Lakes was constructed
in the 1960s, which led to a significant increase in visitors and traffic to the
national park
The extension of the dynamic, constantly evolving lake system, the proportion of the tufa
barriers, jointly with the numerous dynamic waterfalls and clear water courses and the
expression of colours, make Plitvice Lakes National Park an aesthetically outstanding natural
spectacle of global importance.
