As the water evaporates, a thick layer of lime material and form a layer of travertine and thus gradually build a wall all the time in the same manner that is formed like stalactites in the cave. Apparently Pammakale means Castle of Cotton, but the Greco-Romans built a city on it called Heirapolis - which means "Holy City" or "Sacred City".

It is Officially the 7th World Heritage Site which was located in China and has been known for exceptional attraction beautiful. The key to the mystique of this place is a remarkable combination of exceptional geological granite outcrop in the form of strange and pillar combined with seasonal climate variations that often cause fog, so you can see the fog and striking sunsets.

Roof cave collapses and leaves like ambles kahirnya crater with a diameter of about 60-70 meters. It soon became clear that natural gas is still up to the crater and the story goes that the decision was made to burn gas rather than risk gas emissions that cause local toxicity. According to various sources of these holes have been burned constantly so called "Gate to Hell" by the local community. However, other sources say that it is entirely natural phenomenon.
It is most impressive at night and the glow from its flames can be seen miles away. The inside of the crater is black from carbon build up and the heat is so intense That it is only possible to stay near the edge for a Few minutes.

From the air, the mystery of the Sahara Desert in Mauritania really looks like the human eye. Image left is the "pupil" and when seen from Google Earth then the edges will reveal the cliffs that form the rest of the eye. This natural phenomenon is actually a structure Richat caused by a dome-shaped symmetrical where the terms of the geology of this region are formed with less thousands of years of erosion. Please note that this explanation is not fully accepted by the scientific community. There are still academics who believe that it was a meteor impact, and others say that it was caused by underground nuclear explosions.
