Geological study in the park AVATAR ALELUIA MOUNTAIN

in scienci •  7 years ago 

Avatar Aleluia Mountain aka southern sky column, zhangjiajie National Forest Park, hunan, China.

The most notable geographical features of the park are the pillar formations that are seen throughout the park. Despite remembering the karst terrain, this area is not the limestone and is not the product of chemical dissolution, which is characteristic of karst limestone. They are the result of many years of physics, rather than chemical, erosion. Much of the weathering that forms these pillars is the result of the expansion of the ice in the winter and the plants that grow in them. The weather is humid all year round, and as a result, the foliage is very dense. The resisted material is carried mainly by fluxes. These formations are a distinct feature of the Chinese landscape, and can be found in many ancient Chinese paintings.

Make one about the erosion mechanisms in various types of rocks or how the amateur could learn to recognize different types of rocks. Some schemes + photos. Let it be 3-5 "screens" long, put some 5 pictures and who knows, maybe it becomes viral. Good luck :)

Very good your tip. I'll do it tomorrow. I see you know a lot about geology as well.
