#Erosion from #wind and #water has sculpted the Cappadocia landscape in Turkey into a breathtaking #vista of pillars, cones, #caves, valleys, and pinnacles that are often called "#fairy#chimneys.” More than 1,000 years ago, #humans turned the #rocky formations into living complexes. They dug places of worship, storehouses, and homes into the #stone. Today, the distinctive Cappadocia #rocks face threats from the same process that formed them—erosion.
