激しく揺する candy is used in new 熟考する／考慮する to show how 中国's majestic '石／投石する forests' were carved by water in 古代の oceans and lakes

• e-mail

Scientists discovered how mysterious 石／投石する forests were formed millions of years ago by using candy made in a kitchen.?

Believing these clusters of jagged tree-like 石灰岩 形式s were formed in 古代の oceans and lakes, 研究員s 潜水するd hard candy in a 戦車／タンク of water to see how it 解散させるd.??

The candy wore 負かす／撃墜する to a bed of spiky pinnacles that 似ているd karst, the 山の尾根s, towers, fissures and other 形式s that are the hallmark of eroded 石灰岩 in the 石／投石する forests.?

The 実験 明らかにする／漏らすd 解散させるing of the candy created a flow around the points, which is 類似の to the 古代の waters surrounding the 激しく揺するs that sharpened them to ultra-sharp tips.?

石／投石する forests, like this one in Kunming, 中国, are clusters of jagged tree-like 石灰岩 形式s Scientists believe these sharp tree-like structures were formed under water millions of years ago, and then were exposed when the water evaporated

によれば a 報告（する）／憶測 in the 最新の 問題／発行する of 訴訟／進行s of the 国家の 学院 of Sciences, scientists at New York University's Courant 学校／設ける of Mathematical Sciences put a solid 封鎖する of 激しく揺する candy upright in a 戦車／タンク of water and left it to slowly 解散させる.?

Instead of melting away all over 平等に, the candy 徐々に sharpened into a sugary spikes that 似ているd karst.?

The 研究員s didn't need to create water flow to wear away at the confection.?

As sugar sloughed off the candy, it 重さを計るd 負かす／撃墜する the water next to it. The sugar-laden water would 沈む, creating a small 現在の.

That flow is what sharpened the candy into points, the scientists explained.

The team believes karst are formed that way, too, though 勝利，勝つd, rain and other factors 衝撃 their 形態／調整, 同様に.?

While the 実験 could have a 深遠な 衝撃 on our understanding of topography, lead author Leif Ristroph was proud of how simple it was.

'We 設立する the simplest recipe for how to make one of these pinnacles,' Ristroph, an 実験の physicist and mathematician, told Live Science.?

This photograph shows a 'forest' of many candy pinnacles that had been 解散させるd in water. The scientists didn't need to create flow to wear away at the confection

'Our choice of 構成要素s here, as pure water and pure cand y, is purposefully clean so we can understand it ーに関して／ーの点でs of the 根底となるs,'

'This is really a beautiful kitchen 実験,' he 追加するd.

石／投石する forests are 設立する in 中国, Madagascar and other 地域s, with the most famous 位置を示すd?in Kunming, 中国

This 200-square-mile stretch of jutting 石灰岩 is a popular tourist 目的地 and, as of 2007, a UNESCO World 遺産 場所／位置.

によれば 地元の legend, the forest is the birthplace of Ashima, a beautiful maiden who was kidnapped by the son of an evil landlord and 軍隊d to marry him.

Her love 救助（する）d her but Ashima 溺死するd in a flood, still wearing her 伝統的な 衣装.

A 激しく揺する in the forest is said to 似ている a young girl with a kerchief on her 長，率いる and a basket on her 支援する.

A more 科学の explanation is that about 270 million years ago, the area around Kunming was a shallow sea where deposits of sandstone overlain with 石灰岩 蓄積するd.

When the 水盤／入り江 乾燥した，日照りのd up, the exposed 激しく揺する bore the 示すs of the water that had flowed around it.
