Geology Pictures of the Week, Jan. 28 - Feb. 2, 2008: Waterfalls and Rockfalls
See below

Posted on 01/29/2008 8:16:55 AM PST by cogitator

First one is from Kaphoto.ca, which has a LOT of pictures of Canada (mostly eastern Canada). This is Tews Falls in the Spencer Gorge near Hamilton:

The second is a view of a rockfall from a dome eruption of Santiaguito volcano, from Photovolcanica's Santiaguito/Santa Maria Volcano page. This page has a lot of other great views and a short animation of a "ring fissure" eruption.



TOPICS: Arts/Photography; Education; Science; Travel
KEYWORDS: guatemala; ontario; volcano; waterfall
Here's an encore from the Santiaguito/Santa Maria page, scaled one-half.

That incandescent volcano picture is beautiful! SirKit has decided he’d like to vacation in Costa Rica so he can see Arenal erupt! Thankfully, the hotels, etc are across the valley from the volcano, so folks can watch minor eruptions in safety. ;o)

You’re welcome. Waterfalls are one of the better features of Earth.
