Interesting topic. Thanks! One note: Hawaii is not formed by forces at a plate boundary. It's islands are a result of a stationary hot spot under the moving Pacific plate above.

"Crack in the Ground" is really cool. It's apart of the Newberry Caldera. From a distance, you can't really see it. Most of the area is open and flat. A formation I was told called Fort Rock is about the only natural feature that can be seen from many miles off. Christmas Valley is a really pretty area, to me.

Fort Rock. Old cinder cone open at the Southeastern edge due to erosion caused by wave action of ancient inland sea. Wind-driven waves were predominantly heading Northwest. There are wave-cut terraces on the edges of the formation. 10,000 year old human artifacts, sagebrush sandals, were found in a cave there.

I've visited in Lapland and Norway on this year's july, Norway is our beautiful country with an arctic sea and high AMAZING snowy mountains with cool waterfalls. When I was in Norway there I have feel I am really small human in this BIG world. Next time when I'll visit in Norway I will visit to see that crack rock between mountains it looks awesome place with beautiful view of mountains.

"Le Puits d'Enfer" in France does NOT mean "The Pit of Hell". It means "The Well of Hell". (as in, a "well" that you drop a bucket into to get water).

The Rio Grande river valley running through New Mexico is a large rift valley as well.

Thanks, Top Fives.

Beautiful. Thank you.

This is really great -- thank you. But please note, 'fissure' is logically pronounced like 'fisher', rhyming with 'disher' or 'wisher'.

amazing how you ramble off the foreign names with ease- that i would never attept🤔🙂👍

Interesting topic, Love it!

The “Puits d’Enfer” is located in the Vendèe Region - not Aveyron ! 7:16 This is a crack in the Rift Valley which is about 10 km wide - it is not THE rift valley… 16:15 Just a crack in the rift , not the plate boundary’s…

@@ChrisKane- Sounded like you did not pronounce "Fissure" but Fishez. But no problem. USA is closer to Russia than England and there they sort of slide their words together when in sentence. Pronounciation is just a part of the full production and just like gymnastics you gain top marks for the production (Participation). A little missed accuraccy was not a fall from the gym bar or a tumble on Ice Skates during Olympic figure skating. So not a fail and so your scoring is still high. My guess is only an Icelandian is going to get 100% (Full Marks 100/100). But then I can see Statler and Waldorf (Muppet characters) saying from their viewing box. 'What did the narrator say? 'I don't know, but I could not repeat it'', Most likely it was pronounced the Oregan way, East of Japan. So really your overall score is still 9.9 which whilst the Icelantics may pronounce their own nouns much better the rest would likly reduce their overall score to less than perfect and less than 9.9. But both would score high for their over all procuction. So no big deal.

Hey! I think you sold the African Rift short in that the rift continues through the Red Sea into Gulf of Aqaba. From here it enters the Dead Sea valley then the Jordan River up to Anatolia. So, flip #1 to #2 and vice versa and you should be good. 😊

Ireland’s limestone western coast is replete with erosional features including large cracks, fissures, “show-caves”, bridges, caverns, grottoes and even miles wide fissured pavements. Do a video on THEM.

Fizzures?

The entire African rift valley is a continent long, hundreds of miles wide at points, crack in the earth. That is by far number 1 in my book.

You can imagine the Earth without water, as water balances the shape of the Earth, its rotation around itself, and around the sun. Tides are considered a safety valve for the Earth and its rotation. As the water melts, the Earth slows down its rotation. Water has increased due to the melting of the ice caps in the poles and the Himalayas, and thus, the rotational force also increases...

Abstract : The energy that dominates the earth is very great, some of it is natural, like the heat of the sun and volcanoes, and some of it is human action, by cutting down trees, without replacing them and cultivating in their place... There are five forces that control or dominate the planet... 1- The first theory (horizontal dynamic movement) and its end... The occurrence of storms, rain, floods and snow, at unexpected times and places, is because of the expiration of this theory, which needs to be balanced... 2- The second theory (vertical dynamic movement) and its end... This movement or force controls or dominates the earthquakes, earth cracks, drying up of rivers and lakes, earth openings, mountain collapses, and the emergence of drinking water springs on the ground... It becomes out of control... These phenomena increased due to the end of this theory... The third theory: it is water that rotates the earth... The fourth theory: the Earth's axis of rotation has tilted 2° degrees... The fifth theory: The Earth has a new orbit... These studies had completed and sent on July 26th 2000 YOUSIF A TOBIYA
