Science - Geology / fairy chimneys
English term or phrase: fairy chimney
Îmi pare rău, dar n-am context. Apare într-un manual de geologie de liceu.

Ştiu că în spaniolă se spune "chimeneas de hadas".

Vă mulţumesc pentru ajutor.

HORNUL ZANELOR?


Explanation:
Daca e un termen se specialitate, nu am idee, dar daca e vorba de un nume- ca "Babele, Sfinxul" atunci cred ca merge tradus: hornul zanei/hornurile zanelor
(semineul are alta nuanta si e mult mai recent in lb romana)

coş


Explanation:
Avem “coş vulcanic” în româneşte, “fairy chimney” e din rocă vulcanică… să-i zicem tot “coş”?

The geology of areas where Fairy Chimneys form typically comprises a thick layer of tuff (consolidated volcanic ash), covered by a thin layer of basalt or other volcanic rocks... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_chimney

Coşurile Sânzienelor


Explanation:
Acest gen de formaţiuni se găsesc în multe locuri din lume, dar diferă ca mărime. Cele mai reprezentative se găsesc intr-adevar, in Capadochia.
