To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower.

Amazing Stuff Under The Earth
Door To Hell, Turkmenistan
A giant gas crater was created by a Soviet drilling rig hitting an underground cavern near the Turkmenistan village of Derweze in 1971, causing it to collapse. When the cavern collapsed, it turned into a toxic-gas-emitting pit more than 300 feet wide.

But its rainbow waters are what really make it fascinating: While the center of the pool’s cerulean hue is pretty characteristic, the deep reds, bright yellows and fiery oranges encircling the edges are not. These colors are caused by pigmented thermophilic bacteria that thrive on the rich minerals produced by the geothermic activity.
Amazing Fact :
Groundwater is the water that seeps into the earth and is stored in aquifers— Nearly 50 percent of people living in the U.S. get their drinking water from groundwater. But its biggest use is irrigation.
The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens. By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, And the skies drip with dew.
