Title
Penghu Basalt Columns
Description
It is a special form of rocks. It was formed by the leaked lava 17 million years ago due to inconsecutive volcano activities. The feature of the basalt columns is that each piece aligns parallelly to one another.
The climate threats the basalt columns encounter are the acid rain and the rising sea level. The acid rain will wash off the surface of the basalt more than usual rain will. This causes the damage to the structure of the stones. Once the structure of them is no longer sound, the columns may fall off someday.
On the other hand, if the sea level continues rising, the sea may someday submerge the basalt columns.
