50 POINTS!!! The forces of nature are all around us working to shape the surface of our planet. Your task is to search the globe for three examples of land formations shaped by surface events. You will create a presentation to demonstrate your knowledge on this topic. You may choose to create a travel brochure, a vacation scrapbook, or a presentation using software.


Be sure to include the following for each land formation you choose:


a picture (you may hand draw, take photos in nature, or use stock images)

Explanation:

I hope this helps you out a little!

Stone Forest, China
Located in China you have blade-like pillars of limestone and sandstone, often over 10m tall. A wonderful landscape that looks parallel to a forest of stone is appropriately named the Stone Forest. The stone forest was constructed in a shallow sea about 270 million years ago. Sandstone and limestone compiled in the bay over time and were ultimately pushed upwards towards the sky. The rocks then began to be molded by wind and water of the surface to create the impressive and grand stone statues they are today.

Giant's Causeway
In Northern Ireland, exist over 40,000 enormous hexagonal black pillars each with some irregular sides, jutting out of the cliff. All of these irregular pillars mesh neatly together appearing as steps. They were established after volcanic eruptions about 50-60 million years ago during the Paleogene Period. It was assumed that the speed at which the lava cooled may have to do with the sizes and shapes of the columns. However, the volcano that was the cause of the columns can no longer be seen today, it has vanished due to erosion.

Ha Long Bay
There stands a glorious terrain formed of limestone pillars and caves located in Vietnam. The rocks have been forged by the sea falling and rising over an estimated 500 million years. The bay also consists of over 1600 islands, a large portion of which remain uninhabited. However, the handful of Islands that contain civilization are fishing villages with towns built on the water. According to the towns peoples stories, it was dragons that created the islands and pillars of rocks to protect Vietnam from invaders.

(I suggest you put this info in a presentation and choose stock photos of each example. I suggest changing a few of the words to reflect you, and just double-check my grammar. Here's the website I got my info from in case you need it http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150205-the-15-most-amazing-landforms)
