(Green Ajah) Nature Week 2016: Earth - Guess the Formation

[Shad_]

For my contribution to Nature Week, we're going to have an image guessing contest. Please refrain from using Google/Wikipedia for the first 24 hours after each image is posted. If no one has guessed correctly by then, have at it! Some of these may be unique formations with a proper name, while for others I'll accept a more general answer.

Here is the first image:

A termite mound?

Ant hills?

[Guest]

I agree with Ry.

[Shad_]

Keep guessing!

[LilyElizabeth]

Gopher mounds?

[Ryrin]

That was my 2nd guess, Lily!

[Shad_]

Well, no one else has guessed at this point, so I'll give gopher mounds a Close Enough!

 

They're mole hills.  :)

 

Besie: 1

[Shad_]

Can you be more specific?

[Sooh]

Ant lair?

[Shad_]

Yep! Specifically, leafcutter ants. Next image coming in a bit.

[Sooh]

Hubby knew this one. He was looking over my shoulder.

 

I was more mesmerized by the sight of it.

This one is worth up to two points:

 

[Sooh]

Terrace?

[Guest]

Rice farming?

[Shad_]

Rice terrace is correct, but can anyone name it?  This location is often named in discussions of the Eighth Wonder of the World.

[Guest]

No idea.
