Above seafloor expression of a salt dome in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The side scan sonar data is draped over 3D bathymetry data. All of those dark dots in the relatively flat area are old seafloor gas vents (pockmarks). The dark slash in the upper right is likely a fault. #Archaeology #geology #Sonar

Alcantara Gorge 10, Francavilla di Sicilia, Sicily, Italy
Several thousand years ago, the river bed was blocked by a lava flow from Mount Etna. As the lava was cooled much more quickly by the water than it would have done otherwise, it crystallised in the form of columns. Over the next millennia, the river naturally eroded a channel through these columns, resulting in impressive gorges and ravines, such as the Alcantara Gorges (Gole dell'Alcantara) next to Francavilla di Sicilia, where the Peloritani mountains end. – Wikipedia

Details of curving rock formations display intricate patterns and rich hues along the edge of Lago Argentino in the Patagonia region of Argentina. Sparse greenery is along the top, contrasting with the textured surface below. Processed with painterly finish.

“The GEOROC Database (Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents) is a comprehensive collection of published analyses of igneous and metamorphic rocks and minerals. It contains major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic and nonradiogenic isotope ratios as well as analytical ages for whole rocks, glasses, minerals and inclusions. Metadata include geospatial and other sample information, analytical details and references….
Current content of GEOROC:
• 22,750 papers
• 685,660 samples
• 2,680,100 analyses
• 39,334,100 single data values…”

Millennia in the making. Admiring the colouration & textures caused by water erosion in the sandstone cliffs along the Sydney coast. Minerals are carried through the sandstone by water & deposited in interesting patterns & orange hued tones. The deposits are visible as bands or layers in the rock. #erosion #Nature #Sandstone #Australia #NudeBeach #Naturism #Nude #Naked #Dissolution #Minerals #Science #Geology #SedimentaryRock #NoClothes #ClothesFreeLiving #FKK
