Crazy beautiful.
From My Modern Met...
In the Gansu province of China lies the Zhangye Danxia Landform, a beautiful expanse of land featuring naturally formed streaks of color.
Scientists postulate that the landscape's physical formation is the result of millions of years of orogenic movement, or structural deformation of the Earth's lithosphere due to tectonic plate movements. The mountainous landscape has dealt with water flow fissures, erosion, and oxidization due to high temperatures drying up the basin, which have all played a part in forming and exposing the colorful layers of sediments.
