2022-01-18 21:39:40 Lake Baikal Russia

Lake Baikal, situated in southeastern Siberia in Russia, it has an area of 31.722 km2 with a depth of 1,642 m. This is the oldest freshwater lake in the world, launched more than 25-30 million years ago from a fracture of the crust.

In the winter, for about five months or from January to May, the lake freezes over but the water is so clear that, from the surface, you can see an astounding 130 feet below you. A photographic worthy natural phenomenon occurs around a very specific time of year, March. Wind, temperature differences, frost and sun in the ice crust cause cracks and ice hummocks to form. Transparent and shining in a turquoise color, these masses of broken ice look like shards of glass rising into the sky. They are caused by the slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice as well as by the unequal structure and temperature. Now that’s one for the bucket

2022-01-16 02:12:36 Green Moss Beach, California, USA

Moss Beach is a coastal census-designated place in San Mateo County, California, with a year 2010 census population of 3,103. Located in Moss Beach are the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, a marine sanctuary; the Half Moon Bay Airport, the historic Moss Beach Distillery; and the Seal Cove Inn, a destination lodging property. Moss Beach is naturally a foggy, drippy microclimate that gives one a sense of isolation from nearby cosmopolitan regions and assures that summer temperatures are generally mild. Montara State Marine Reserve & Pillar Point State Marine Conservation Area extend offshore from Moss Beach. Like underwater parks, these marine protected areas help conserve ocean wildlife and marine ecosystems.

2022-01-13 04:54:06 Gole dell'Alcantara Gorge Sicily, Italy

The Gole dell'Alcantara, geological natural monument of basalt rock, was created by the eruption of the volcano Monte Moio Etna's . The basaltic walls are 50 meters high and are crossed from the Alcantara river creating pictoresque landscapes. They form prismatic structures which can be arranged in all kinds of patterns: horizontally (locally known as the woodpile), slightly arching (the harp) and in a radial configuration known as the rosette. The most common configuration is the ‘organ pile’ where vertical fractures form. These impressive structures are seen in the walls of the Gole dell ‘Alcantara, a system of gorges formed 8,000 years ago in the course of the river Alcantara in eastern Sicily.

Dead trees at Orange Spring Mound at Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park. Bacteria and algae create the streaks of color on Orange Spring Mound. It is noticeably different from many of the other terrace formations nearby. Its large mounded shape is the result of very slow water flow and mineral deposition

2022-01-05 13:57:30 Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness.

The Mohs scale of mineral hardness (or the Mohs hardness scale) is used by geologists all over the world as an identifying tool for minerals.

The basic principal is, that it characterises the scratch resistance of a softer mineral being scratched a harder mineral.

Developed in 1822 by Friedrich Mohs a German Geologist and mineralogist, it is one of several methods used to describe the hardness of minerals and materials in science, however it is the one most commonly used by geologists. Although it has been 200 years since the first implementation of the Mohs hardness scale, the method of comparing one mineral to another to ascertain its hardness is much older. The technique was mentioned in 300BCE by Theophrastus in his treatise On Stones, and then again in 77CE by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia.

The scale each uses a different mineral, and is ordinal in nature. The hardest known substance to man at the time of the scales creation was diamond, and as such diamond is at the top of the scale. to easily remember, its writing on this way;
" the girls can flirt and other queer things can do:

The -" T "- TALC- Mohs hardness 1- Absolute hardness 1

Girls -"G "- GYPSUM- Mohs hardness 2- Absolute hardness 3

Can -"C"- CALCITE- Mohs hardness 3- Absolute hardness 9

Flirt -"F"- FLOURITE- Mohs hardness 4- Absolute hardness 21

and -"A"- APATITE- Mohs hardness 5- Absolute hardness 48

Other -"O"- ORTHOCLASE FELDSPAR- Mohs hardness 6- Absolute hardness 72

Queer -"Q"- QUARTZ- Mohs hardness 7- Absolute hardness 100

Things -"T"- TOPAZ- Mohs hardness 8- Absolute hardness 200

Can -"C"- CORRUNDUM- Mohs hardness 9- Absolute hardness 400

Do -"D"- DIAMOND- Mohs hardness 10- Absolute hardness 1600

Whilst it is possible to buy a set of “Mohs mineral pencils” a set of pencils each mounted on the tip with a small piece of each of the minerals above, these for geologists are often more show pieces, and in the field it is important to know the hardness of ordinary materials to make mineral identification easier. A steel knife (very good for many applications in the field) has a hardness of about 6-6.5 whist a fingernail has a hardness of between 2 and 2.5. Just these two tools can make mineral identification so much easier!

2022-01-04 23:02:05 Water hole in Portugal looks like a gateway to a fantasy world

This spillway called Covão dos Conchos is located near Guarda, Portugal and is part of the Conchos Dam in Serra de Estrela, the country’s highest mountain range

This hydroelectric system was constructed in 1955. It has a height of 4.6 meters and has a circumference of 48 meters. The tunnel that collects the water is 1519 meters long.

2021-12-22 16:14:23 Wahweap Hoodoos - Towers Of Silence, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah

In an alcove far into a remote area of Utah desert is where the Wahweap Hoodoos stand. These impossibly white towers are formed out of a uniquely colored entrada sandstone. A harder layer of dakota sandstone has protected the softer rock from erosion and can still be seen as the brown caps of stone atop the towers. The older, softer entrada sandstone is 160 million years old. Over these millions of years erosion and weathering have created these amazing white pillars. The towers are the most dominating element of this landscape, but my eyes were soon drawn to the ground. The rock in some areas appears to flow like a river, cascading down the slope and around the hoodoos in a liquid like motion. This place is ancient, but at the same time so mysteriously alive. The sandstone rock appears to be in movement. A direct contradiction to the age and lifelessness of this quiet fragile place
