According to the U.S. "Life Science" website reported that if the Earth is a giant natural art gallery, then the United States is one of the most fascinating geological branch. Land in the United States, there is a breathtaking hairpin h geology and natural wonders. This is not only because of their breathtaking natural beauty, which prompted the formation of a more natural forces they feared.

"Delicate arch" height of about 52 feet (about 16 meters). However, the "delicate arch" most impressive place is not that it's height, but rather its structure. This natural arch is feeling incredible. After a huge sandstone erosion and weathering, the central part is naturally hollowed out countless years, so he formed this spectacular arches. It is like a bridge, deemed a giant arch.

As we all know, the sea is quite cold, but it is unusual volcanic hot. However, if a combination of both, that is what kind of product do? Those who have been to Hawaii, you may have the opportunity to see the spectacular scene of the planetary construction process. In 2004, Kilauea volcano in Hawaii last major eruption occurred. The figure shows that the prevailing scenario when lava flows into the sea. Planetary volcanism is a major tectonic process that can produce everything on the planet from the islands to the mountains and other terrain, as well as those terrain shaping and transformation.
3.Old Faithful geyser
Old Faithful Geyser in the United States Yellowstone National Park within, is one of the most famous geyser.Old Faithful Geyser eruption, 8400 gallons (about 31,798 liters) of boiling water can be sprayed to 145 feet (44 meters) altitude. Under normal circumstances, this eruption will last one minute to five minutes. It is called "Old Faithful", because it is always a regular eruptions, 45 minutes to 2 hours once every certainly eruption. It consistently loyal degree by the world's favorite. Old Faithful Geyser powered by underground lava. Yellowstone National Park is located in the entire area into a giant super volcano formed by the basin, this super volcano eruption at about 620,000 years ago.
4.Arizona Meteor Crater
This giant pit located near Winslow, Arizona, is the world's largest crater. Today, Meteor Crater, Arizona has become one of the most popular tourist places to stay. Meteor Crater diameter of about 4100 feet (about 1250 meters), a depth of about 570 feet (about 174 meters). This giant craters remind people here have been subjected to enormous space rock impact. Around 50,000 years ago, a diameter of about 130 feet (about 40 meters) asteroid had come over the earth, on the ground formed a big hole.
5.Maine Natural Xiaogang
In the Maine coast, there is a particularly striking natural creek. This natural creek like a cave hewn into the rock.

It is the deepest place of 6,000 feet (1828.8 meters), widest point up to 15 miles (24 km). The strangest thing is that geologists so far failed to determine its true age. In 2008, a number of studies suggest that it should be about the age of 600 years or 1600 years.
7.Oregon Crater Lake
Wizards Island is located in the center of Crater Lake, Oregon. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States, to a depth of 1943 feet (about 592.2 meters). The English name for the lake "Crater Lake", but it is not from the crater (Crater) formed lakes. In fact, it is an ancient crater.

Crater Lake area around the average annual snowfall amounted to 533 inches (about 1354 cm).
8.Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is located on the border of the United States and Canada, the Niagara River, formed in the last ice age receded. Niagara Falls with its magnificent majestic momentum and water plentiful vast known for its jets of water to reach 4 million cubic feet per minute (about 114,000 m3). Waterfall drop of up to 52 meters, a huge amount of water straight down from a height, deafening noise, the momentum like a thunderbolt.
9.Glacier Bay, Alaska
John Hopkins Glacier in Glacier Bay to integrate into the sea. Glacier Bay, Alaska in the United States, now is a huge gulf. Here the intersection of a number of glaciers, melting, and sometimes back. In 1794, Englishman George - Colonel Vancouver came here, once likened the Glacier Bay is a huge glacier horizon stretched left 5 miles (about 8 km)-wide small teeth. Huge piece of ice thickness in the hairpin h where more than 4000 feet (about 1219.2 meters), width of 20 miles (about 32 km), extending a total of more than 100 miles (about 161 kilometers), has been reached 圣伊利亚斯Mountains. However, by 1879, naturalist John - Samuel has found that the ice here has subsided more than 30 miles (about 48 kilometers), the formation of a true sense of the bay. By 1916, once occupied the entire Gulf of Great Pacific Glacier has receded by 60 miles (96 km).
10. California Half Dome
Half Dome is located on the eastern Sierra Nevada, California, Yosemite National Park's iconic landscape. It is a semi-dome-shaped granite rock, is the residue of ancient rock. Around 10 million years ago, due to the formation of mountain ridges and steep now this strange landscape.
