Mineral terrace at the Pamukkale Hot Springs
Pamukkale mineral terrace. Limestone (calcium carbonate) terraces at the Pamukkale (meaning " castle of cotton" ) hot spring site, Turkey. The terraces are comprised of semi-circular basins which cascade down a hillside. They are created because hot water emerging from the ground experi- ences a sudden reduction in pressure. This causes the carbon dioxide in the water to vaporise, leading to the dissolved calcium carbonate precipitating out of solution. The terrace layers of Pamukkale have an average length of 3 kilometres and an average width of 300 metres. Hot springs like this are common in areas where geothermal heat is brought close to the surface

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the mineral terrace at the Pamukkale Hot Springs in Turkey. Known as the "castle of cotton". Pamukkale's limestone terraces are a natural wonder that leave visitors in awe. The semi-circular basins, resembling cascading steps, create a stunning visual spectacle as they gracefully descend down the hillside. The formation of these terraces is an intriguing geological process. As hot water emerges from underground, it undergoes a sudden decrease in pressure. This causes carbon dioxide within the water to transform into vapor, resulting in dissolved calcium carbonate precipitating out of solution. Over time, this process has given birth to layers upon layers of magnificent terrace formations. Stretching over 3 kilometers long and with an average width of 300 meters, Pamukkale's terrace layers are truly impressive. These unique formations are not only visually striking but also serve as evidence of geothermal activity close to the Earth's surface. Hot springs like those found at Pamukkale are common in areas where geothermal heat is accessible from below. They offer both natural beauty and therapeutic benefits for those who visit them. This remarkable print captures nature's artistry at its finest and serves as a reminder of our planet's extraordinary wonders waiting to be explored and admired by all who appreciate its splendor.
