you can go to this website if you want to know about ruins in mexico\n\nhttp://www.mexperience.com/guide/archaeology.htm\n\nI have gone to a lot of these places with my family, they're really amazing! If you go to Teotihuacan you can climb to the top of the sun and moon pyramids. i'm not really sure how tall they are but they're huge! \n\nZacatecas as a state is also really beautiful, it has great history. I've only looked it up online, i've never been there but that's where my next trip is going to be!

Super Volcanoes are planet killers!!! Yellowstone is the first one that comes to my mind.\n\nHere's what wikipedia says:\n\n"A supervolcano refers to a volcano that produces the largest and most voluminous kinds of eruption on Earth. The actual explosivity of these eruptions varies, but the sheer volume of extruded magma is enough to radically alter the landscape and severely impact global climate for years, with a cataclysmic effect on life.\n\nThe term was originally coined by the producers of the BBC popular science program, Horizon, in 2000 to refer to these types of eruption. That investigation brought the subject more into the public eye, leading to further studies of the possible effects. At first, supervolcano was not a technical term used in volcanology, but more recently, in 2003 and 2004, the term has been used in articles. Though there is no well-defined minimum size for a "supervolcano", there are at least two types of volcanic eruption that have been identified as supervolcanoes: massive eruptions and large igneous provinces."

Troy is a good answer and certainly a famous one, but I'm going to go with Gordion, capital city of ancient Turkey but now no more. I wonder whether it had anything to do with the famous "Gordion Knot?" It was fun looking this up. Thanks for the question!

you can spend years here....zorathustrn granite,mica schists..various volcanics  in  canyons bottem  are  evidence trhat  an old mountain range...some say  as  high as  todays  rockies...[by base measurments]  was  eroded away  by  ice flows.....oceans came  and  left.....on  ariving  plant and  animal life  contribute  fossil remains and  calcite[the  making of limestone]mud stones and shales....the  various  banding  give us  ideas to the duration  andlife  of the times.....basically  the  areas  above the  river  are  sandstones  shales  and  mudstone....but there is  marble and dolomites....explore....thers  gotta  b   pics  on  net  somewhere

Karst!       At least this is the terminology for the type of landscape created by dissolution of limestone, dolomite, gypsum and rarely quartzite. This is the landscape that contains caves, sinkholes, and  dolines.  \n\nThe process is initiated when rain water picks up carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and then picks up even more carbon dioxide as it seeps through soil. Soil often has a carbon dioxide content as high as ten percent so the water may become very acidic, since carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid.  As the water permeates downward it encounters bedrock. In limestone this bedrock is often fractured and where the water begins to penetrate the rock the carbonic acid will dissolve the limestone, which is calcium carbonate. These fractures will gradually enlarge creating an irregular zone where the soil contacts the bedrock. If the carbonic acid content of the water is high enough, or its penetration rate is fast enough, it will sink into the rock until it hits some sort of a barrier and there it will begin to dissolve away rock. This will eventually become a cave.  Other types of landforms that will develop are sink holes. Sink holes are large pits that form under the soil surface, sometimes by cave collapse, and sometimes just by dissolution. Some areas of the world are dominated by sinkholes, like parts of Puerto Rico and Jamaica's cockpit country. \n\nOther caves that have formed by this process are Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, USA, which is the worlds longest cave. Mammoth Cave is has about 367 miles in length that have been mapped so far, and mapping continues. Another famous cave is Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Carlsbad Caverns was formed by a different type of dissolution when groundwater mixed with sulphur compounds, possibly during petroleum generation or migration, and formed sulphuric acid which is believed to have moved upwards into the ancient Capitan reef rock and dissolved enormous cave passages. Another type of cave forms where different types of groundwater such as saltwater and freshwater mix together in the subsurface. These are called mixing zone caves and they can form at great depths where the reaction between the two solutions creates a potential for dissolution of limestone. \n\nThe Arabika Massif, Western Massif has recently been mapped as the world's deepest cave at –2080m (6824 ft). The Optimisticeskaja in Ukraine is the world's third longest cave and the world's longest gypsum cave at 133 miles. \nhttp://www.pipeline.com/~caverbob/wlong.htm\n\nIn Brazil there is a cave formed by dissolution of quartzite, the Caverna do Centenário and I believe there are some examples of this in Venezuela as well. \nhttp://www.showcaves.com/english/br/caves/Centenario.html\n\nKarst landscapes tend to be some of the poorest in the world because they are difficult to farm. Other problems associated with karst are collapse of sinkholes, such as those that happen occasionally in Florida, taking houses, cars,and everything else down into the hole. Contamination of ground water is a difficult problem in karst areas because the spill of a contaminant can quickly move through a complex underground drainage system in ways that are difficult to predict unless there has been considerable dye tracing of the karst system. One fear of karst scientists around Mammoth Cave is that a spill of a dangerous material on the nearby interstate could contaminate large parts of the cave system within hours or days. \n\nAs for other less dramatic effects of bedrock dissolution, most rainwater does pick up some rock as it percolates downward toward the water table. Most often this solute ends up in the groundwater and is the reason some well water is described as 'hard' water since it has a taste that is given to it by the dissolved minerals. In most areas this dissolution is so insignificant that it does little to change the land surface.

Plains\n\nThere are a lot of interesting landforms around the world. A landform is a feature that makes up the shape of the land at Earth’s surface. The three basic types of landforms: plains, plateaus, and mountains.\n\nCoastal Plains\n\nCoastal plains are broad areas along the ocean’s shore. They are often called lowlands because of their low elevations. Elevation refers to distance above or below sea level. As you might guess, sea level has zero elevation. The Atlantic Coastal Plain is a good example of this type of landform. It stretches along the East Coast of the United States. This area is characterized by low rolling hills, swamps, and marshes. A marsh is grassy wetland, usually flooded with water.\n\nInterior Plains\n\nA large portion of the center of the United States is called the interior plains. The interior plains of the United States extend from the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west, to the Gulf Coastal Plain in the south. They include the rolling hills of the Great Lakes area and the Central Lowlands around the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.\n\nPlateaus\n\nIf you would like to explore some higher regions, you might be interested in going to the second basic type of landform - a plateau. Plateaus are relatively flat, raised areas of land. They are areas made up of nearly horizontal rocks that have been uplifted by forces within Earth. Plateaus are different from plains in that they rise steeply from the land around them. A good example of a plateau in the United States is the Colorado Plateau, which lies just west of the Rocky Mountains. The Colorado River has cut deeply into the rock layers of the plateau, forming the Grand Canyon. Because the Colorado Plateau is located in a very dry region, only a few permanent rivers have developed on its surface. If you hiked around on this plateau, you would see a desert landscape.\n\nMountains\n\nPlains and plateaus are relatively flat. If you want to tackle a steep rock face, you must go the third basic type of landform - a mountain. Mountains rise high above the surrounding land, often providing a spectacular view from the top. The world’s highest mountain peak is Mount Everest, in the Himalayan Mountains. It is more than 8800 meters above sea level. By contrast, mountain peaks in the United States reach just over 6000 meters. Mountains vary greatly in size and in how they are formed. The four main types of mountains are folded, upwarped, fault-block, and volcanic.
