Turkey & Pamukkale
Pamukkale (in Turkish means “Cotton Palace”) is a complex of unique mineral springs in southwestern Turkey, near the city of Denizli. The region consists of hot springs, such as travertine limestone that has the unusual shape of shallow terraced pools. They are formed by pouring mineral water and deposition of minerals.
This area is located in the valley of the Menderes. Valley has a temperate climate for most of the year. To clarify, it is long about 2700 metres, 600 meters wide and 160 meters high. Pamukkale has 17 springs, where the water has a temperature of 35 to 100 °C. Water is poured some 320 meters to the slopes. Terraces overflowing from the slopes of 60 to 70 meters long. In water is precipitated calcium-carbon. Eventually became limestone and carbon dioxide is released. In fact, about 499.9 milligrams calcium-carbon is deposited every day from every liter of water in perfect weather conditions.
