美国南达科他州荒地国家公园(Badlands National Park, South Dakota, USA)
这张层层叠叠的图像不是你屏幕上的错误,而是南达科他州Badlands国家公园迷人的化石层。在色彩斑斓的涂层下,隐藏着这片土地的历史,保存着古代马、骆驼、老虎和犀牛的遗骸。以顶峰和草原为装饰的贫瘠景观主要由两种相反的自然力形成:沉积(小岩石四处移动并沉积在新地方的过程)和侵蚀(岩石磨损的过程)。红衫军桌海拔1020米,是崎岖地形上的最高点。该公园占地981平方公里,于1978年的今天成为国家公园。仍然渴望知识?参观国家公园的博物馆藏品。这里有超过36万件文物,还有更多的东西要展示!

This densely layered image is not an error of your screen, but the fascinating tiers of fossil beds in Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Under the multicoloured coating lies the land's history, conserving the remains of ancient horses, camels, tigers and rhinos. The barren landscape, decorated with pinnacles and prairies, was mainly formed by two contrary forces of nature: deposition (the process of small rocks being moved around and deposited in new places) and erosion (the process of rocks wearing away). The Red Shirt Table, at 1,020 metres, is the highest point on the rugged terrain. The park covers a 981-square-kilometre territory that was established as a national park on this day in 1978. Still thirsty for knowledge? Visit the national park's museum collection. There are over 360,000 artefacts that have a lot more to reveal!
