A group of geological exploration found intact, large-sized karsts and beautiful landscapes in Shaanxi Province, China.
Geologists have found a large cluster of karsts in Han Trung City, Shaanxi Province, China, and Xinhua on November 24. This is one of the largest karst pit in the world.
Karst sloughs are large pits, with special geological features, found in the karst region and formed due to repeated subsidence.
They were first found by a Chinese geological survey team in February this year.From October 25 to 28, Shaanxi Provincial Department of Natural Resources organized a group of regional experts.
"A total of 49 karst sinkholes and 50 funnel-shaped pits with a diameter of about 50-100m are found in the karst terrain belt over 200km long in Hanzhong city" , Liu Tongliang, Director of Karst Geological Research Institute , from the Chinese Academy of Geosciences, said.
Among the 49 newly discovered holes, there is a super large hole, more than 500m in diameter, 17 large holes, 300-500m in diameter, 31 regular holes, diameter and depth of more than 100m.
"The expert group has identified karst collapsed pits in Han Trung city very rare, intact and beautifully landscaped. It meets international geological standards and brings potential values in science and tourism." , Wang Weihua, Director of Shaanxi Province Department of Land and Resources, shared.
In addition, the belt also facilitates research for biological experts.Because the location is difficult to access, the ecological environment in the belt core area remains intact.The special topography here also creates a suitable habitat for plants and animals.
