This 10 Natural Wonders of not you know
1. Chocolate Hills (Philippines)
Consisting of about 1268 cone-shaped hills that have the same size, area of more than 50 square kilometers (20 square miles), geological formation is very unusual, called the Chocolate Hills, located in Bohol, Philippines. There are several hypotheses about the formation of the hills.
These include weathering limestone hills simple, sub-marine volcanism, which lifted from the seabed and a new theory which states that it is an active volcano that destroyed ancient, then spit a large stone which is then covered with limestone and then pushed out from the base sea.
2. Wave Rock (Australia)
The Wave Rock is a natural rock formation located in Western Australia. As the name of this stone shaped like a breaking ocean wave height. The extent of covering several hectares; Wave Rock has a height of about 15 meters long and about 110 meters.
One aspect of the Wave Rock is rarely shown in the photo is a retaining wall about half a stone. It follows the contours and allows rainwater will be collected in a dam. It was built in 1951 by the Department of Public Works.
3. Hell Gate (Uzbekistan)
Called by locals Door to Hell, this place in Uzbekistan is located near the small town Darvaz. When the geologists who do drilling for gas, 35 years ago, suddenly they found an underground cavern is so big.
No one dared to go there because the cave was filled with gas, so they lit it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, has been on fire. No one knows how many tons of excellent gas is burned for years, but it seems to be unlimited.

Something that impressive. The Blue Lake Wave has a variety of geological formations and very impressive especially for blue water in it.
6. Eye of the Sahara (Mauritania)
This spectacular landform in Mauritania in the southwestern part of the Sahara desert that is so large with a diameter of 30 miles visible from space.
Richat structure called - or Eye Sahara - formation was originally thought to be caused by a meteorite impact but now geologists believe is a product of the removal and erosion. The cause of a circle remains a mystery until now.
7. Crystal Cave of the Giants (Mexico)
Found deep inside a mine in southern Chihuahua Mexico, these crystals formed in a natural cave totally enclosed in bedrock. Spectacular crystal cave full of tall pine trees, and in some cases the larger the circle, their colors like gold and silver are translucent and have a wonderful shape.
Crystal Cave of Giants found in the same limestone body. -Zinc-silver ore bodies exploited by the mining of lead and may be dissolved by the same hydrothermal fluids that deposited the metals with the gypsum being crystallized during the phase of reduced mineralization.
8. Great Blue Hole (Belize)
Part of the Lighthouse Reef System, The Great Blue Hole is located about 60 miles outside the mainland of Belize City. A large almost perfectly circular hole approximately one quarter of a mile (0.4 km) in, it's one of the most astounding dive sites to be found anywhere on earth.
In this hole, the water is 480 feet (145 m) deep and it is the depth of water that gives a dark blue color that causes such structures throughout the world known as the "blue hole."
9. Antelope Canyon (Arizona - USA)

This canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon individual - or "Crack" - and Lower Antelope Canyon - or "bottle opener."
Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tse bighanilini ', which means "place where water flows through the rocks." Antelope Canyon is lower Hasdestwazi, or "spiral rock arches." Both are located in Chapter LeChee Navajo Nation.
10. The Wave (between Arizona and Utah - USA)
A beautiful red-rock on the border of Arizona and Utah, The Wave is made from sand dune 190-million years has been turned into stone.
This formation is not much known only accessible by foot through the increase of three miles and very organized.
