Tourists trample on the calcified pool in Huanglong Scenic Area. How rare is this calcified pool?

Relevant scientists say that the environment formed by this calcified beach is very complicated, and once it is destroyed, it is almost impossible to recover. Recently, some tourists uploaded a video of Huanglong scenic spot on the Internet. In the video, many tourists climbed over the railing and stepped directly on the colored calcified beach in the scenic spot. Some experts say that these substances are very fragile and cannot be recovered once they are trampled. It is reported that the location of video shooting is Huanglong Peak Scenic Area in Sichuan. The area of color calcified beaches in this scenic spot is about 20,000 square meters, and there are 690 calcified beaches in the color pool. It is by far the largest calcified beach group in the world, and it is also called the highest calcified pool group because it is over 3000 meters above sea level.

According to geological research experts, the calcified beach in Sichuan is composed of a large number of minerals, calcium carbonate and a part of magnesium carbonate. These substances slowly seep out of the ground and form calcified beaches in some pool water, and these substances need a lot of precipitation to become colorful calcified pools. The expert also said that the formation environment of this calcified substance is very complicated and it takes a long time to form. Once destroyed, there is almost no way to recover. This calcification usually increases by several millimeters every year. If it is broken, it can't be recovered for almost a long time. It's like a stone. If you break it, it is impossible to recover.

The expert also revealed that this calcified substance can only be used for viewing and appreciation, and cannot be used for other purposes, because calcified substances are very fragile, just like lime on the wall. You push it hard and it will fall down. It can't stand the trampling of tourists. A tourist may crush a calcification with one foot.

Subsequently, the person in charge of the scenic spot also said that the guardrail was set up in the scenic spot to remind tourists not to enter the damaged calcified beach. Warning signs prohibiting crossing the guardrail were set up in many places in the scenic spot to specifically remind tourists not to destroy the calcified beach inside the scenic spot. So the park is now investigating the identity of the tourists in the video and conducting the next investigation on this matter.
