In just two days of lava and scoria have been thrown to the surface causes the island to form, measured third of a mile from end to end.
4. Dead Sea
As a person in the picture (below) shows very easily float in the ocean off and read the newspaper. The reason for this is that the dead sea salts contain adequate 25% (normal sea water is about 4-6). Clearly there is no marine life can live in the sea to die.

5. Pertified Forest
Located from Arizona I-40 highway, far into the desert between Holbrook and Navajo are the Petrified Forest or reply petrified forest. It consists of the fossil forest of fallen trees, mostly arizonicum Araucarioxylon, ancient conifer species, which have been mineralized into chalcedony and quartz. This process occurs after the dead fallen trees are absorbed by the mineral content of the sediments in which they fell. Basically means that the wood of the tree eventually turned into stone.
6. Giant Causeway
Only Ireland is a world heritage area which is covered in this giant basalt columns and stone. 38,000 stone columns created after a volcanic eruption about 60 million years ago. The lava cooled quickly leave this column sightly behind. Locals prefer to tell another story kpada tourists.

Not surprisingly, there is no life living in this fluid.
8. General Sherman
General Sherman is the name for the Giant Sequoia trees found in the Giant Forest, Sequoia National Park, USA. Trees are an estimated age of 2,200 years is the biggest tree on earth with the size of the body volume of 1487 m³ (2002).The name of this tree is taken from the name of a leader of the American Civil War, Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, by a naturalist James Wolverton in 1879. Wolverton had served as lieutenant under the command of Sherman on the 9th Indiana Cavalry.

9. Dachstein Caves
A 150mil ice tunnels and spooky caverns formed Cave Dachstein, Austria's famous ice caves, located near Lake Hallstatt. Ice stately columns, arches and nails are formed by the swirling air in the ice. More bottom of this cave is a giant glacier, but some of the most stunning scenery can be seen on the way down, in which some parts of ice has formed what looks like a great cathedral of ice.
