中文注释:在加拿大新不伦瑞克省的芬迪湾,可以看到耸立在浑浊的水中的好望角奇石的侧影。这些砂岩及砾岩形成的海蚀柱在冰河时代的最后一次冰川冲击下得以幸存,但却经受了几个世纪的潮汐侵蚀。在芬迪湾可以看到世界上最大潮汐变化, 这些石头仍然继续经受着这些恒流的洗礼。作者: James P. Blair
好望角 新不伦瑞克 加拿大 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick, Canada, 1990The sculpted silhouettes of Hopewell Rocks rise from the muddy waters of the Bay of Fundy in Canada's New Brunswick province. These sandstone-and-conglomerate sea stacks were spared during the glacial sweep of the last ice age, but bear the effects of centuries of tidal erosion. The Bay of Fundy sees some of the world's greatest tidal variability, and the constant flow continues to shape these rocks.
