Folded rock strata in Ecuador
Folded rock strata. View of rock strata exposed during road building, showing layers of folded rock (coloured white, at centre). Originally, these strata of rock were laid down as horizontal layers. Since then they have been tipped and folded by geologic forces, so that the white strata are entirely folded back in a synclinal (trough-shaped) formation. Photographed north of Quito, Ecuador

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the incredible natural phenomenon of folded rock strata in Ecuador. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the layers of rock that have been exposed during road construction, revealing a mesmerizing display of geological forces at work. The once-horizontal layers of rock now stand tall, twisted and contorted by powerful tectonic movements over time. The white-colored strata take center stage, completely folded back into a synclinal formation resembling a trough-shaped structure. It is as if nature itself has sculpted these rocks into an awe-inspiring piece of art. Located north of Quito, Ecuador, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the Earth's history and its ever-changing landscape. We can't help but marvel at the immense power that shaped these rocks and transformed them into their current state. The beauty lies not only in the intricate folds but also in what they represent – millions of years' worth of geological processes unfolding before our eyes. This image serves as a reminder that our planet is alive and constantly evolving. Thanks to Science Photo Library for capturing this extraordinary moment frozen in time. Through their lens, we are transported to Ecuador's rugged terrain where nature's artistic prowess takes center stage.
