Wonders Of The Nature !!!

WebEcoist and Environmental Oddities

  
1. Sailing Stones

The mysterious moving stones of the packed-mud desert of Death Valley

have been a center of scientific controversy for decades. 

Rocks weighing up to hundreds of pounds have been known

to move up to hundreds of yards at a time. 

Some scientists have proposed that a combination of

strong winds and surface ice account for these movements. 

However, this theory does not explain evidence of different rocks

starting side by side and moving at different rates and in disparate directions. 

Moreover, the physics calculations do not fully support this theory

as wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour

would be needed to move some of the stones.

2. Columnar Basalt

When a thick lava flow cools, it contracts vertically but

cracks perpendicular to its directional flow with remarkable geometric regularity -   in most cases forming a regular grid of remarkable

hexagonal extrusions that almost appear to be made by man. 

One of the most famous such examples is the

Giants Causeway on the coast of Ireland (shown above),

though the largest and most widely recognized

would be Devils Tower in Wyoming . 

Basalt also forms different but equally fascinating ways

when eruptions are exposed to air or water.

3. Blue Holes

Blue holes are giant and sudden drops in underwater elevation

that get their name from the dark and foreboding blue tone they exhibit  

when viewed from above in relationship to surrounding waters. 

They can be hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them they are largely devoid of oxygen that would support sea life  due to poor water circulation - leaving them eerily empty. 

Some blue holes, however, contain ancient fossil remains

that have been discovered, preserved in their depths.

Mini Terrariums

Mini terrariums become more and more popular nowadays. They can be tabletop, hanging, or wall-mounted. Thats why there is a new manufacturer of these cute mini-gardens that we can put inside of our homes. >

Top 10 Mysterious World Landmarks

Top 10 Mysterious World Landmarks   The world is filled with ancient monuments built by master craftsmen in order to honor everything from kings and presidents to religious figures. And although most of these landmarks have been carefully studied and researched by scientists and historians, some are simply so old, incomplete, or obscure that we still dont know very much about why they were built or what purpose they served. The following are 10 world landmarks that, whether by intention or simply due to the passage of time, continue to baffle the people who study them. 10. The Cahokia Mounds Cahokia is the name given to an Indian settlement that exists outside of Collinsville , Illinois . Archeologists estimate that the city was founded sometime around 650 AD, and its complex network of burial grounds and sophisticated landscaping prove that it was once a thriving community. It has been estimated that at its peak the city was home to as many as 40,000 people, which would have made it the most populous settlement in America prior to the arrival of the Europeans. The most notable aspect of Cahokia today are the 80 mounds of earth, some as high as 100 feet, which dot the 2,200-acre site. These helped create a network of plazas throughout the city, and it is believed that important buildings, like the home of the settlements chief, were built on top of them. The site also features a series of wooden posts that archeologists have dubbed woodhenge. The posts are said to mark the solstices and equinoxes, and supposedly figured prominently in the communitys astronomical mythology. The Mystery Although scientists are constantly discovering new information about the Cohokia community, the biggest mystery that remains is which modern Indian tribe is descended from the residents of the ancient city, as well as just what it was that caused them to abandon their settlement. 9. Newgrange Considered to be the oldest and most famous prehistoric site in all of Ireland , Newgrange is a tomb that was built from earth, wood, clay, and stone around 3100 BC, some 1000 years before the construction of the pyramids in Egypt . It consists of a long passage that leads to a cross-shaped chamber that was apparently used as a tomb, as it contains stone basins filled with cremated remains. The most unique feature of Newgrange is its careful and sturdy design, which has helped the structure remain completely waterproof to this day. Most amazing of all, the entrance to the tomb was positioned relative to the sun in such a way that on the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, the rays from the sun are channeled through the opening and down the nearly 60 foot passageway, where they illuminate the floor of the monuments central room. The Mystery Archeologists know Newgrange was used as a tomb, but why and for who still remains a mystery. The painstaking design needed to guarantee that the yearly solstice event occurs suggests that the site was held in high regard, but other than the obvious hypothesis that the sun featured prominently in the mythology of the builders, scientists are at a loss to describe the true reason for Newgranges construction. 8. The Yonaguni Monument Of all the famous monuments in Japan , perhaps none is more perplexing than Yonaguni, an underwater rock formation that lies off the coast of the Ryuku Islands . It was discovered in 1987 by a group of divers who were there to observe Hammerhead sharks, and it immediately sparked a huge amount of debate in the Japanese scientific community. The monument is made up of a series of striking rock formations including massive platforms, carved steps, and huge stone pillars that lie at depths of 5-40 meters. There is a triangular formation that has become known as the turtle for its unique shape, as well as a long, straight wall that borders one of the larger platforms. The currents in the area are known for being particularly treacherous, but this has not stopped the Yonaguni monument from becoming one of the most popular diving locations in all of Japan .
