Thus from about 1240, the tin deposits (with the beginnings of subsurface mining also silver) around Ehrenfriedersdorf was mined. By finding rich silver adits in the 2nd third of the 15th Century the great mountain towns like Schneeberg (municipal law since 1477) and Annaberg (municipal law since 1496) was founded.

Basaltsäulen sind erkaltete und erstarrte basaltische Lava. Die Erscheinungsform dieser erkalteten basaltischen Lava ist hauptsächlich von zwei Faktoren abhängig. Eruptierte Lava kühlt recht schnell aus zu einem zusammenhängenden Gesteinsgefüge, das je nach Temperatur und Gasgehalt als Pahoehoe-Lava oder als Aa-Lava erstarrt. Findet die Abkühlung jedoch verzögert statt, entstehen durch Kontraktion (Schrumpfung) nicht selten meterlange polygonale Basaltsäulen ... Ein Beitrag von Peter Seroka |

Over time, rocks weather due to the influence of wind, water, ice, and daily and seasonal temperature differences. These weathering products form then short the pedosphere (the ground), go into solution in water (chemistry), are transported as dust, and similar processes. Long term, but they rearrange stable, lithify and form sedimentary rocks, are transported into the deep, and after transformation (metamorphosis) reveal pushed back ...
