Mongolia has many distinct and unique geographical features. One of the most iconic landscapes is the Gobi Desert, which is a vast region that includes a mix of sand dunes, rocky terrains, and grasslands. The Gobi is not just a desert of sand, but also includes highland plateaus made of rock, and scattered patches of grasslands, creating a complex landscape.
Another notable feature is Bayanzag, also known as the "Flaming Cliffs," famous for its red sandstone cliffs. These cliffs are particularly striking at sunset, when they glow in a fiery red hue. Bayanzag is also known for the many prehistoric fossils discovered in the area.
How were the red sandstone cliffs of Bayanzag formed, and what types of prehistoric fossils have been found in the region? Specifically, I am curious about why fossils are so concentrated in this area.
I would like to ask my Mongolian friends for photos of the Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag and the vast landscapes of the Gobi Desert. It would be great to receive photos that capture the expansive and varied terrain of the Gobi, especially those that highlight the desert's diverse landscapes.
Hi, I’m Minjae Cho, a high school student at Haneul High School. I’m someone who likes to connect the dots between things that seem completely unrelated. I’ll be reading about ancient cultures one day, and the next, I’m wondering how those ancient ideas influence today’s tech or even how cities are built. I find it fascinating how everything from history to science to art can be tied together in unexpected ways. I’m always looking for new ways to understand the world around me. Whether it’s understanding why some cultures emphasize community over individuality or exploring how different environments shape the way people live, I enjoy diving into topics that make me think about life from different angles. When I’m not lost in thought, I’m either with my cat, eating ice cream, or just exploring new ideas. I wake up early, ready to take on the day and see what new thoughts or experiences come my way. In the future, I hope to keep exploring different corners of the world, learning from the past, and finding new ways to connect ideas to create something meaningful.
This is more than research—it’s a step toward positive change. I love the research
