An end to the ping-pong game, Canada-Holland! Felix picked the ball for a new service.
The ball was caught at Burning Mountain, NSW in Australia where a coal seam has been burning for at least 5,500 years.
Find the next one, #539 and you 'll be the happy one to send the rest on a search!
Rules, tips and previous WoGEs are collected by Felix on his blog and a KML file is available with all WoGEs.
36.253°N, 117.1132°E Mount Tai Mountain, China. "Geologically, it is a tilted fault-block mountain, higher to the south than north, and is the oldest and most important example of the paleo-metamorphic system representative of the Cambrian Period in eastern China. Referred to as the Taishan Complex, it comprises magnetized, metamorphic, sedimentary rock and an intrusive mass of various origins that were formed in the Archean Era 1700-2000 million years ago. Subsequently, in the Proterozoic Era, the Taishan region began to rise, becoming part of the continent by the end of the era. Uplift continued until the middle of the Cenozoic Era. The gneiss which emerged in the Taishan region is the foundation for all of North China. Cambrian strata, fully emerged in the north, are rich in fossils." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Tai]
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI did only find something of the whole mountain, not something special of the picture (i mean in geological terms).

BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou're right. To me as a non-geologist its seemed to be significant that this mountain is mentioned as the natural museum of geology.
