Title
Penghu Basalt Columns
Description
Penghu Basalt Columns are geological formation located in Penghu, a group of islands off the western coast of Taiwan. These columns are formed by the cooling and solidifying of basalt lava due to inconsecutive volcano activities. The lava leaked around 17.4 million years ago. The biggest feature is their symmetric shape and height.
The climate threat it faces is the acid rain. The acid rain will corrode their surfaces more severe and leave additional scars.
