Situated in South Africa near Cape Town, this granite peak is formed by layers of the granitic bedrock that were once molten rock within Earth’s crust. Over millions of years, gravity pulled down these once-molten rocks from high above forming the unique shape we see today.

This volcano rises in Indonesia’s Bali Island approximately 2,844 meters (9,332 ft) above the surrounding landscape.

Situated deep within Canaima National Park of Venezuela South America, at approximately 979 meters (3,212 ft) tall, it holds the record for being the highest uninterrupted waterfall by height and is formed from solid volcanic rock. The unique falling style is due to its extreme weight causing a huge piece of rock to slide along the steep sides of the falls during rainfall but is not a natural geological phenomenon occurring every day.
