We all saw pictures of the so-called "Table Mountains" Here is, for example, a photograph of the mountain called "The Tower of the Devil"
As reported by Wikipedia
"Devil's Tower" was formed from a magmatic melt, which rose from the depths of the Earth and froze in the form of graceful columns (see Benard cells). The age of the most ancient geological deposits on the territory of the natural monument is estimated at 225 to 195 million years.
So it was like this:
I do not know about you, but I can hardly believe it.
And let's look at the structure of this "mountain"
Do not you think that lava, somehow reasonably reasonably behaved?
And look at this picture.
This is the transverse section of the flax stem.
Does not this photo remind you of a tree stump?
It reminds me so much. A giant stump of the Silicon era with all the signs of an ordinary forest stump.
Petrified stump.
Stump, just sawn. And such stumps stick out everywhere on the planet.
Good chicks, right?
And if we calculate the proportion of the thickness of the trunk to the length, compared to our trees, then such a tree should have a height in the region of 5-6 kilometers.
I remember immediately Cameron with his "Avatar"
Although what stumps .... Let it be better to be frozen lava, and then immediately gets a bunch of questions - Who sawed, sawed and what they sawed for ...
Although I continue to be tormented by "vague doubts" ...
And yet, if for a moment ... imagine that this stumps, the spirit captures from the mere thought-how beautiful our land was and what a cataclysm or war, turned it into a scorched desert.
.. what stumps ... lava froze ..
According to the materials of the video - " На нашей Земле лесов нет."
