惡魔的彈珠Devils' Marble在Tennant Creek以南大約100公里左右,在17億年前,地球內部的炙熱熔岩(Magna)推擠地表的砂石層,冷卻後在地表砂石層的下方形成弧狀的堅硬花崗岩。熔岩冷卻時的體積變化以及地球內部的壓力,在大型花崗岩上造成互相垂直的裂痕。當地表砂石層逐漸被風化或雨蝕,花崗岩越來越接近地面。水分透過裂痕和花崗岩內的礦物質產生化學反應,沙漠地區極端的溫度變化造成裂痕不斷地膨脹和收縮,大型花崗岩逐漸分裂成小型柱狀石塊。由於石塊邊緣被侵蝕的速度較快,柱狀石塊逐漸變為成堆奇形怪狀的”石蛋”。

The rock is an eighty ton granite boulder perched on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic ocean, on a headland one mile south of the village. The rock is finely balanced due to the actions of weathering, and prior to its restoration in 1824 it could be rocked by applying only a little pressure. This upset the local residents considerably, since Logan Rock had been used to draw tourists to the area. 公仔箱論壇8 k! i% d% b. O6 {

7. Chiricahua Balanced Rock (USA) Chiricahua National Monument is a unit of the National Park Service located in the Chiricahua Mountains. It is famous for its extensive vertical rock formations. The monument is located approximately 36 miles (58 km) southeast of Willcox, Arizona. It preserves the remains of an immense volcanic eruption that shook the region some 27 million years ago. Called the Turkey Creek Caldera eruption, it eventually laid down two thousand feet of ash and pumice, highly siliceous in nature. This eventually hardened into rhyolite tuffs, and eroded into the natural features visible at the monument today. : A/ F% S! P* V% q- u

Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements.

猶他州布萊斯峽谷國家公園內,大部分的美景及特色都是肇因於侵蝕作用,即地層表面受外力磨損,如水力或風力。Hoodoo是形狀奇特的石柱,外觀時常狀似小妖精或其他的超自然角色。事實上,曾住在此區的派尤特族印地安人,將它們叫做「傳奇人物」。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 X* @$ C+ @8 R: l) G& C

雖然它們可能長得像人,但這些岩石卻是由大自然形成的。水的物理及化學作用會侵蝕龐沙岡特高原的遠古岩石,它會帶著砂礫、碎石穿越石頭的表面,趁機滲入表面的隙縫,再分解它。不同的岩層擁有不同的硬度,因而侵蝕作用所造成的磨損情況也各不相同,所以就會形成奇異而獨特的形狀。除了hoodoo之外,其他的形狀還包括了蠩狀、螺旋形及尖塔樣。5.39.217.76# W: v S. V+ @. u; x# o
