Photo: counting on 18 at extreme environments in the world (photo)
Greenland, South Africa and Australia are eligible to compete for world's oldest rocks are located in the title, but in this field than the age of competition, Canada, North of Tarnów magnaghi figure g (Nuvvuagittuq) greenstone belt seems to be a true champion.
Greenstone belts rocks can be traced back to approximately 42.8 million years ago of the underworld Proterozoic (Earth has just formed the first geological age). At this point of the Earth like a hell, just start cooling crust, meteorites and Meteor rained from the sky. It is estimated that a Mars size name Jethro Bahia colliding planets of the Earth, have impact than Greenstone belts are located then ahead of millions of years of age. This impact will not only increase the quality of the Earth and also bring up the moon.Earth's oldest rock may be a yueshi.
In the implementation of the Apollo 15 mission, the astronauts on the Moon surface found this so-called creater rock and brought back to Earth. Creation of age estimated that 45 million-year-old, probably once the initial part of the Earth's crust of the moon.You might think that most rain on the Earth's land should be the rainforest, the actual situation is true.
It is generally agreed that the border with Panama Chocó, Colombia is the most humid place. In 1974, Chocó figure figure that many city rainfall reaches alarming 26303 mm. This area of the average annual rainfall is 11770 mm, two-thirds of the rainfall occurs during the night.Hawaii Kauai in Cerro Huai Lage (Wai-rsquo; alersquo; ale) mountain is the most rainfall days over the Earth, up to 350 days.
If you want to go to Hawaii vacation and enjoy the sunny days, don't do Kauai column in the itinerary.Federal Bay to wind up the Earth's land of official master of the Guinness Book of world records law and the eighth edition of the journal of the national geographic map.
It should be noted that the Federal Bay located in Antarctica. Forget the occasional gusts, in the windy place, you can really feel the wind's terrible. Here's the wind strength and stability, and speed is in excess of 150 miles per hour (approximately 240 kilometres per hour).In 1912, Australia Antarctic Explorer Douglas Mawson middot; streams of the Federation of the Denison angle built Australia Antarctic expedition's home base.
Presumably, he is rarely without wind, do that, otherwise, Federal Bay breeze will make him mad.United States, Oregon, in the southwest of Cape Blanco is the northern hemisphere up one of the wind.
Blanco, process library, Bay near the Pacific Ocean, is the Oregon and westernmost of the United States. Here the winter often terrible snowstorm, accompanied by snow squalls of up to 125 miles per hour (approximately 200 km/h).Chile's Atacama desert in the strongest cases will not be welcome too much rain, but in the worst cases, a little rain never happen.
In fact, that the vast majority of the time, deserts are no rain. 1903 October to January 1918, the city Arica North Chile did not meet any rainfall, the creation of the world's no rainfall record for the longest time. The Arica in parts of the photo so that people can't help but think of Mars. For the red planet's no rain, we don't feel any surprise.United States Death Valley is often one of the hottest planet, the lowest and most arid places in the ranking, with the United States in the Mojave Desert is also is a hot and dry.
California's Baghdad has created the United States in the history of the longest drought period records, for a period of drought, 767 days from 1912 3 October continued until 1914 Nov 8. This shows that Baghdad is worthy of this name also. California Baghdad is ushered in a White Christmas is questionable, since 1991, it became a ghost town.On Earth, the land of snow extreme more often is this area that is rich in water vapour in the air masses moving up under the influence of high mountains and through condensation point.
In fact, some surprising places also appear unusual snow. 1927 on 14 February, researchers in Japan ibukiyama snowfall of the year for the measurement, the measuring results38.8 feet (approximately 11.82 m).United States Northwest Pacific region of the Cascade Mountains are logged the largest number of snowfall.
From 1971 to 1972 winter, Washington State-Jabel snowfall 93.5 feet (approximately 2850 cm), a record. 20 years later, this record will be in the vicinity of Mount Baker ski break. 1998-1999 winter, the ski resort of snowfall 95 feet (about 2896 cm). Someone joked, Rui Daniel Hill this snow machine in this winter has chosen the rest.In addition to skiing enthusiasts, the high-altitude mountainous snow almost never give anyone else trouble, but terrible strong snowfall can let the city centre in a few days, sometimes weeks paralyzed.
The legendary sky mirror is Bolivia of Uyuni salar (Salar de Uyuni), which consists of several prehistoric Lake.
These lakes are concentrated in one place, they eventually dried up, leaving only a few feet thick, more than 10582 km2 of salt marsh. Think about it is Utah's bad Navia salt 25 times with the ground, you know Uyuni salar is big.Some rare elements concentration in the composition of Uyuni salar of various different types of salt, which include very important metallic lithium, Uyuni salar lithium reserves, total global lithium-70%.
Most of the time here is a piece of dry and no vitality, however every year in November, the summer rain will attract a large group of pink flamingos, red algae and brine shrimp. During that time, Uyuni Salt Marsh becoming even more flat, in fact it has become a big mirror, orbit satellites using its calibration range.Voronya cave (cave of Russian mean the Crow) is located in politically controversial Republic of Abkhazia, cave deep 7188 feet (2191 m), in ALA Bekaa mountain (Arabika Massif), the mountain is in the age of dinosaurs from the limestone formation.
1960 people found the hole, it is also known as storskrubb La Cave, under Russia geographer Alexander middot; Kruger's name. This cave than Austria Lampreia nichts cable fen (Lamprechtsofen) cave depth deeper, is the world's deepest cave, is currently the only known a depth of more than 2000 meters of caves.All credit goes to Ukraine Speleological Association (ukr.s.a), it has been working to determine the Voronya cave and its lot with the depth of the cave.
Ukraine Speleological Association from the early 1980s began to clean up the obstruction and widening narrow places to cave explorers can enter to the interconnectivity of deeper into the cave. The current depth record is 7188 feet (2191 m), this is the 2007 autumn results, but the Association each year on the Voronya cave system to conduct a search, therefore these figures may still change.Located in the United States of North Dakota is one of the difficult PofA to polar (The Pole of Inaccessibility), it is the point in mainland China, from any marine and all directions is the furthest point.
Difficult to reach the pole there are also multiple scale, one of the most difficult to reach low-da's hard cold polar are located in the wilderness of Antarctica.In 1958, the Soviet Union in Antarctic difficult to establish bases, but very soon they gave up the base.
Before you go, here the Soviet exploration team installed a Lenin's Golden bust statue (plastics), in order to continue monitoring the ice and take advantage of it announced to the world of the Soviet Union arrived here. Lenin statue eyes stares of Moscow, pleasing side, it will not be affected by the Dove. Over snow, almost completely cover the statue, in which the following is a hut, which is placed at a convenient for visitors to sign guest book, I guess it must be very thin.Before the Earth's most extreme of the article, including the most remote, but inhabited islands mdash mdash;; Tristan da Cunha.
Although the island is very remote, but another uninhabited island is regarded as the most distant islands. Bouvet is the South Atlantic in an island, but the strange thing is that it is Norway's rule. Distance from the nearest landIt is located in the southern part of it, nearly 1000-mile (160 km) of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. Distance from the nearest inhabited island, is the distance it approximately 1404 miles (2260 km) of Tristan da Cunha. Distance from the nearest inhabited land, is located in the northeast of approximately 1600 it miles (2580 km) of South Africa. Bouvet is shooting a film in 2004, the alien wars blood soldiers on the scene. In addition, it is the Internet country code top-level domain: Bouvet Island.Bouvet 93% is iced over, it often falls into the South of glacier ice and the ocean.
The island's area is only 19 square miles (49 km), in addition to the small block outcrops rock formations on lichens and growing, there is no vegetation. Bouvet is famous in 1979, was a United States spy satellites on the island found near light double Flash. Although this has never been confirmed, but many people believe that these Flash description Israel and South Africa may be conducted jointly by a nuclear test.Extreme weather conditions, distance, geological and topographical conditions, so that our planet is in many respects is even more distinctive.
Are you feeling you have no taste? if so, you may wish to occasionally out of comfortable living environment, to the extreme, you will from this kind of adventure in a large income.Everest elevation 29029 feet (approximately 8848 meters), the highest peak in the world.

Technically, Everest's rocky peak is the highest land, but because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, some lower places in space, it seems it is more efficient. For example, Mount Everest is another relatively little-known mountain in the distance to the Moon and stars over longer distances, which is located in Ecuador's Mount Chimborazo. Chimborazo mountain altitude of just over 2 000 feet (approximately 6096 m), while the height than Mount Everest, due to the shape of the Earth, it is indeed better than Everest closer to outer space.
