Cappadocia
is a historical region of central Anatolia, Turkey. Cappadocia is
characterized by a unique geological formation in the world that
were created fantastic shapes over millions of years of erosion,
hoodoos. The name derives from the voodoo cult that
gives certain natural forms magical powers. The great
volcanoes Erciyes and Hasan million years ago covered
the area with lava. It's
a arid area. They consist of a layer of basalt
(basalt derived from volcanic
eruptions) resistant layer covering a softer ignimbrites. The
columns also appear in areas that were in the
moraines of ancient glaciers. There isn't vegetation and was
occasional heavy rain. Water and wind erosion the rock. Gravity and sun
participe in this erosion procces.
When we are going to travel to Turkey, we are
goint to visit Cappadocia.
