Tufa 1Tufa towers are bizzare limestone rock formations, created by a chemical reaction between the water of Mono Lake and the water bubbling up from underwater springs. Mono Lake has lots of carbonates; the springs have lots of calcium; put them together, and over decades or centuries, you get these big constructions of calcium carbonate (limestone). For more information, see the Tufa Towers page of the Mono Lake website. |
