Wave Rock - Western Australia

Formed more than 2700 million years ago, Wave Rock is 14 metres high, and 110 metres long. The granite cliff resembling awave about to break is on the northern face of a large erosional remnant called Hyden Rock.

2.Giant’s Causeway

.

The Giant's Causeway formed between 50 and 60 million years ago, when the region that now sits on the Antrim coastline was subject to intense volcanic activity. Molten basalt erupted through chalk beds and formed a lake of lava

3.Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand

Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand.

The Moeraki Boulders are concretions created by the cementation of the Paleocene mudstone of the Moeraki Formation, from which they have been exhumed by coastal erosion. The main body of the boulders started forming in what was then marine mud, near the surface of the Paleocene sea floor

4.Svartifoss, Iceland

.

A spectacular example of columnar-jointed basalt occurs at Svartifoss in the Vatnajökull National Park of southern Iceland. The columns are notable for a variety of features on the vertical joint surfaces and the horizontal parting surfaces. The jointed surfaces of the columns display horizontal striations at a spacing of centimeters to decimeters.

5.Yana Rocks, India 

.

There are about 61 limestone rock structures, within a radius of 3 km, of which two are of notable size. The natural creation of the Shiva linga in the cave is attributed by scientists to the geological phenomenon formed by the stalactites and stalagmites in limestone formations.
