Metal Print : Balancing rock caused by water erosion
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Balancing rock caused by water erosion
Earth pillar. Earth pillar erosion feature. This type of feature is also known as a demoiselle. The pillar is made of soft sedimentary rock, and it is topped by a flat cap of harder rock. Occasional heavy rains erode much of the pillar, but the neck is protected by the hard rock above it. Such structures are common in semi-arid areas, such as in these badlands in Utah, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a remarkable natural phenomenon - a balancing rock formed by the relentless forces of water erosion. Known as an Earth pillar or demoiselle, this awe-inspiring structure is found in semi-arid regions like the Utah badlands in the United States. The pillar itself is composed of soft sedimentary rock, while its distinctive feature lies in its flat cap made of harder rock. Over time, occasional heavy rains have eroded much of the pillar's body, sculpting it into a precarious balance. However, thanks to the protective shield provided by the solid cap above it, the neck remains intact and unyielding against nature's erosive power. Such geological formations are not only visually striking but also hold great significance for understanding our planet's geomorphology. They serve as reminders of how natural processes shape and transform landscapes over millions of years. This stunning image offers us a glimpse into one such mesmerizing creation that has stood against time and elements. It serves as a testament to both the delicate equilibrium maintained within nature and humanity's ceaseless curiosity about Earth's wonders.
