South Seas

why are the islands in the South China Sea so steep?

What is it about the geology of the islands that causes the multitude of sharp, steep peaks to rise so abruptly from the South China Sea off the coast of Thailand, etc.?

They are shaped like that because they are covered by a hard nonerodible rock on top of a softer more erodable rock. The hard cap rock protects the softer rock underneath like an umbrella. What ever is exposed in the softer rock weathers away.

After the European discovery of America, some people used the term Seven Seas to refer to seven of the largest bodies of water in the world: The Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. Some modern geographical classification schemes count seven oceans in the world: The North Pacific Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean, the North Atlantic Ocean, the South Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.

Omoo: Adventures in the South Seas $30.9 In one corner, upon a large native couch, elevated upon posts, reclined a nymph; who, halfveiled in her own long hair, had yet to make her toilet for the day. She was the daughter of PoPo; and a very beautiful little daughter she was; not more than fourteen; with the most delightful shapelike a bud just blown; and large hazel eyes.
