Giant’s
Causeway?

60 million years in the making!

Giant’s Causeway was formed between 50 to 60

than everyone in this room! It formed when lava met
the sea, and cooled down rapidly. This is actually how
a lot of shorelines form!

This is due to cracks forming in

lava while it cools. These

these weird hexagonal shapes.
