英國著名景觀“多佛白壁”崩塌

因為大雨和天氣寒冷,英國著名觀光景點 The White Cliff of Dover “多佛白壁” 上月崩塌,約有重達數千噸、面積相當於一個足球場大的巨塊石灰崩塌後掉落海中。

幾千萬年前在英格蘭南部海藻化石形成的白堊崖,從法國橫越英吉利海峽到英國都會看到這片白壁,一直是英國著名的景觀。不過,由於海藻化石不夠強硬,一碰到大雨就會崩落,因此常有白堊崩塌。

專家認為,造成崩塌主要是因近期寒冷天氣而結冰膨脹,導致這塊巨石逐漸鬆動最終與懸崖脫離。當地海岸防衛隊也表示,他們已樹立警告標示,呼吁遊客別在崖上逗留。

The collapse may have been caused by rain over the winter months being absorbed into the chalk and freezing


The Kent landmark has suffered large rockfalls before, most significantly in January last year


When the cliffs tumble, locals have described it as 'like a lorry going down the hill'


A spokeswoman for the National Trust - which looks after parts of the chalk grassland in the area - said the cliff-fall happened between Langdon Cliffs and South Foreland Lighthouse


Collapse: Thousands of tons of the White Cliffs of Dover have plunged into the sea in a landfall last Friday, Dover Coastguard said


Dover Coastguard said no one was injured but that it serves as a reminder that if people are walking along the cliff-top or underneath, that the cliff can crumble away


Cliff investigation: Dover Coastguard said a full survey has yet to be carried out to determine the exact amount and length of cliff that crumbled on Friday


Collapse: Thousands of tons of chalk fell from the white cliffs of Dover in an area known as Crab Bay. Here a woman surveys the damage


Cliff face fall: The collapse may have been caused by rain freezing after being absorbed into the chalk and then expanding, causing it to weaken


Immortalised: A Spitfire flies over the White Cliffs which were popularised by Dame Vera Lynn's wartime song The White Cliffs of Dover

我以為是颱風導致土石鬆動而崩蹋。
