4. Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

Located in County Antrim in Northern Ireland, Giant’s Causeway is a beautiful example of the aftermath of volcanic activity. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A total of over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns have been created by the rapid cooling of lava forced through fractures in the seafloor. Their hexagonal shape gives them the look of man-made creation. In Northern Ireland, this place continues to be a popular tourist attraction.

10. Painted Cliffs, Tasmania

The Painted Cliffs on Maria Island in Tasmania are a must-see for anyone interested in geological periods. A 100-metre stretch of exquisite patterns was created by groundwater percolating through sandstone millions of years ago, leaving behind iron oxides. While honeycomb patterns have been produced as a result of the weathering of the crystals, they are still magnificent. Tourists are attracted to the area by the abundance of wildlife.
11. Palouse River, USA

There may be a canyon in southeast Washington where the Palouse River runs through it. A combination of tectonic activity and erosion probably generated this canyon. Terraforming occurs when tectonic plates move under the Earth and force mountains and hills into place, creating landforms. As a result of erosion caused by water and wind, landforms like valleys and canyons can be formed. In both cases, the procedures take a long time, potentially millions of years to complete.
