There are similar formations in the Guinobatan and Ligao, Albay, around 20kms southwest of Mayon. It represents an earlier stage of erosion since there are still no flat lands between the hills yet. In the gmaps, it's labeled Tigbao Highlands.
The folklore of this (that we were told in school back then) was that eons ago, there were 2 giants that threw balls of mud, soil, clay at each other, much like a snowball fight. And then, eventually, flora grew over the aftermath of the mud fight battlefield.
Yeah or the feces of those giants.... 😁😅😂. Some chocolate hills legend story tellers really said that. That those chocolate hills are the hardened poop 💩 of the giants who lived in Bohol a long long time ago.💩🥵
I live in the island that these hills are located in and it still doesnt fail to amaze me everytime i pass by the countryside on our family roadtrips because it looks like islands when your going through roads in between rice fields.
Bohol actually comes from the word "boho" which means hole. Bohol has so many underground caves and tunnels plus the chocolate hills. I would not be surprised if prehistoric creatures that digs and makes moulds as houses would be found there
It's a long - standing mystery on how those chocolate hills were formed. I've been thinking this for a long time about how it was formed and this channel answered all of my questions. Good Job 👍🙂
@@jamesbizs lol I've searched for it but this video showed more details about the formation of the chocolate hills! This video is more interesting than searching the topic on google😏 right?
This is why I LOVE geology so much. That last 20 seconds in the video showing the process of what these hills will become in the future is just easy to see. Fucking awesome science. Love ya
That is very much related to one of the reasons I am interested in geology. That being; how you can see different stages of the same effect in different places in the world, if you know what to look for. I come at geology in a manner more akin to archaeology. As a story. With geology being not a story of the people who lived on a land, but the story of the land itself.
Yeah I'm not 100% percent convinced about what's said might to them in the future I'm extremely skeptical, their are many flaws, and lack of knowledge in geology still
Recently passed by these hills on a trip there to meet up with my mother's relatives (she's a Bohol native). Seeing them as a kid was mind-blowing to me, and it's no different now
Geology is such a fascinating science. The most pronounced karst topography was in Laos along the border with Vietnam. The caves were used as defensive systems during the carpet bombing of the Vietnam war. They're HUGE and very convoluted.
@@blp5840 I don't know what your status is but if you haven't been to Southeast Asia you really should go. I've been going over since 2004 for three months a year. It's one of the easiest places in the world to travel. You can spend as much or as little money as you want. Start with Thailand just to acclimate then move into Laos, then Angkor Wat in Cambodia then Vietnam. Or just pick a place like Phnom Penh and explore it. If your serious, get a used copy of Lonely Planet and plan your trip. Getting around is super easy and cheap. The foods great and the people are even better. Don't go unless you have four weeks because the flight over, at least from western US is 21.5 hours. Again, get the book, use the internet, and plan a trip. Go backpack style. If you need more info there's plenty out there. Go low season from may to September. Anyway, think about.
@rand mayfield there are also many limestones formations in the Philippines. Some of them are Osmeña peak, Casino peak, El Nido, Coron, Linapacan, Sohoton Cove, and many more 😍
According to the description, the terrain is similar to what happens in Florida, which are the formations of sinkholes on land where there is limestone, where it is dissolved by the acids generated, not only by the rains, but also by the decomposition of existing organic matter. It's interesting to realize that this whole area in the Philippines is on elevation, so much of this limestone will tend to rise. Beautiful place in those hills. great video.
So, (slightly acidic) water dissolves limestone, yet we are expected to believe that limestone formed under water where there was a 'supersaturated solution' for millions of years. I don't 'buy' the origins theory.
@@noncompliant4316 it's more conplicated than that, remember that the limestone is a 'sedimentary rock' that means that it was forming under the ocean and that process takes millions of years cape after cape.
It’s because when any substance is in a super-saturated solution it is incapable of dissolving. There’s an equilibrium between when a substance (such as calcium carbonate) dissolves and when it will become a precipitate when the water is highly saturated.
nah in florida, its because the entire state has shit tier dirt thats mixed with sand which leaves it very susceptible to erosion. and its like THAT because the entire state is a giant swamp that got filled in with sand to make it somewhat habitable.
I find it amazing that even the vegetation is different on those hills (no trees) compared to the surroundings. They also remind me those manmade burial mounds.
Farmers are going to have a hard time plowing over these mounds though. :P Honestly I really can see why you would think that. They really do look like massive burial mounds. fun fact: the proper name for those burial mounds is "tumulus" and "tumuli" for the plural.
In karst terrain there may be very little topsoil and rainwater sinks down through the limestone, so it can be hard for trees to take root and to get sufficient nourishment and water from the material they are trying to grow in. There's a lot of karst in the western part of what used to be Yugoslavia--in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina--that I've seen. You see farms where "fields" have been cleared of the larger rocks, which are piled into walls around the "field," in the middle of which there's one little gnarled olive tree, about the only thing that will grow. I believe this landscape exists in parts of Greece, too. There were more trees in the past, but deforestation took place and then what soil there was could get blown away or wash down into valleys. A lot of the Mediterranean area is a degraded or destroyed environment.
@@elainechubb971 That reminds me a bit of the land here in southern New England. Not the karst bit, but the way you described fields. The soil here is incredibly rocky due to the advance and retreat of the glaciers during the last glaciation. So people had to clear the soil for farming, resulting in walls around the fields made from the rocks taken from the soil, just piled up. It makes a lot of sense as to why you would just pile the rocks over on the side. But it is also quite interesting to hear about other places where similar practices occurred. At least to me it is quite interesting. Though today trees have retaken their place on lots of fields, since there isn't as much farming here as there used to be. So you can find these rock walls in the middle of the woods at times. While hiking I have pointed these out to friends and some of my friends were very perplexed as to what a stone wall was doing in the middle of the woods. Not realizing that we were on old farmland. It is also interesting to note how differently these environments ended up. You speak of environments that have been radically altered, while I speak of ones that have been reclaimed by the same environment they were taken from. Though the area you speak of is far more mountainous than the area I speak of and I bet that has a lot to do with it. Anyways, enough rambling, thanks for that bit of insight into an area I have never seen. addendum: from what I have seen of the walls around here, the smallest that people would clear from the fields are around 15-20 cm or so. Though it is entirely possible that smaller ones were used for various other purposes and did not end up in the walls.
@@whyjnot420 Thank you for your most interesting response. I haven't seen the deep woods of New England--have mostly toured on main roads! Yes, glaciated areas have had the soil scraped away by glaciers. You can see this in Scotland, too, and I am sure in Scandinavia I now live in Oregon, where the series of floods caused by the breaking of ice dams on prehistoric Lake Missoula in western Montana in the Ice Ages scoured the area of eastern Washington now known as the scablands and swept the soil down the Columbia and up the Willamette and other rivers. The wonderful soil in the Willamette Valley mostly came down from eastern Washington State! There are good RUclips videos on this. And back in the Adriatic: and the Balkans: Greece used to be well forested but trees were cut for construction and boat building and firewood. On the eastern Adriatic shores, Venice cut trees for the pilings on which the city was built. And then the topsoil was lost. So when you see video or photos of the glorious palaces along the Grand Canal, remember that their foundations are the trees from the shores of the Adriatic.(Reminiscent of Easter Island.)
@@elainechubb971 The channeled scablands are very high on the list of places I hope to see one of these days. It is simply a remarkable landscape. And the lectures of Nick Zentner have only made me want to go there even more. Much more interesting landscape than the western parts of Oregon imo. Big mountains are big mountains to me. Pretty but nowhere near as interesting as those areas that are carved out by water one way or another. (granted the glaciers in the Cascades are fairly interesting in and of themselves) Places like the Snake River and the channeled scablands hold far more interest to me. I know that by the time of the Peloponnesian war in the later 400s BCE, Athens was getting a lot of her timber from up north in Macedon. To the point where Macedon used it as leverage when dealing with Athens. Given that Athens had a couple hundred triremes at any one time then, that had to be a massive amount of timber. This speaks volumes about how little forest was left in the southern areas of Greece, all the way back 2400 years ago. Also to note when talking about the Mediterranean world is the deforestation of Lebanon. Once famous for its cedars. I don't think I need to say much more here. Though on this note whenever you think of pyramids, remember the cedars of Lebanon, as you can still find them in the Bent Pyramid (look up pictures of the inside of the Bent Pyramid, these timbers are massive). They would have made up the roof of the palace at Persepolis as well. btw fun fact: The ground level of what is now Venice at the time of the Roman Empire is something like 6 feet below sea level now. Granted that area was just a big marsh 2k years ago, but still, it is an interesting fact.
YES THANK YOU!! I Suggested this one a few months back!! This was so amazing to see in person. If you ever get a chance to go to Bohol I highly suggest it. Just beautiful.
Thank you for the suggestion! Who would've thought that it would answer questions about other areas I had questions about, similar to the formations at the end. ✌️😎
I was playing through civ 6 and this is one of the nat wonders you come across. I thought it would be something like this, but it's really cool to have a snap shot of a geological process like this. Good video mate.
The chocolate hills are just part of the earth where the mushroom kingdom dimension mixes with our own. According to legend, there have been some rare sightings of Mario there collecting gold coins and stars.
I guess the limestone hills at the southwestern part of Bicol Peninsula in the Philippines formed the same way. They're much more dense compared to Bohol's chocolate hills. It actually starts from Ragay hills then stretching through the Tancong Vaca plateau then they become scattered upon reaching San Fernando and Baao, just to be replaced with regular fold mountains. The number of the limestone hills/mounds pick up again in Oas and Ligao which they call Tigbao highlands as those mounds formed on top of a mountain overlooking the wide plains below and the giant volcanoes on the eastern part of the peninsula. Then those hills continues down to Guinobatan and Camalig which they refer as Quitinday hills, they also extends down to Jovellar, parts of Daraga, then to Donsol and Pilar in Sorsogon. Unlike Chocolate hills, Bicol's limestone hills are not known in public at all due to the fact that the chain of volcanoes, especially the Mayon and Bulusan volcanoes overshadowing them in popularity
Wow you travel more than the locals. We have plenty of mountains and hills there. My backyard has a ricefields and mountain ranges. I used to lay down in the grass and wonder what if one of those mountains is a volcano? One of my family members built a resort on top of mountains near a volcano 🌋. Very interesting ya? I told him to be careful for landslide and volcano eruptions but he said he had it checked with the geologists. You should see he built like 10 swimming pools and tall buildings on top of a mountain. So far nothing happened yet.😁
@@suskagusip1036 it's very unlikely that your yard has a volcano. If one exists there, geologists and volcanologists will usually seal it off for research or the provincial government will just turn it into a nature park of some sorts. Anyway, Bicol is probably my favorite place in the Philippines because of the variety of geological features. The best place there is within the plains of Albay, which is actually the Oas Graben caused by the Legazpi lineament(s), where you can see all 5 volcanoes that dominate the Bicol landscape (Isarog, Asog/Iriga, Malinao, Masaraga and Mayon). While on the other side you can see the Horst of the fault line which raises the normally small Tigbao/Ligao hills and mounds up to 400-500 meters, which makes them look like Chocolate hills on top of a mountain from afar. Another favorite place of mine is the Irosin caldera, the heartland of Sorsogon, a small valley surrounded by mountains most notably the Bulusan volcano
@@EirinYagokoro Are you a Geologist? I grew up in the mountains not too far from Boracay. They call it Baclayan mountains( Barotac Viejo and San Rafael)north of Iloilo City. We're surrounded by mountains and hills.
It's so weird to hear the actual science behind it, when for all my life, the story about how Chocolate Hills came to be was always about 2 giants who were fighting, threw mud at each other, which later became these hills. 🤣🤣🤣 And i realize, im in my 30s and somehow i'd still pick the folk lore than the science on this. It was amazing when i was young and now that im adult, it's ridiculous but still good to know. 🤣 This and the story of Kanlaon in Mt. Kanlaon (which for some reason has 3 versions) are my favorites.
These can actually be the burial mounds of Giants from the Ancient continent of MU or prehistoric mining remnants, hundreds of thousands of years ago, from the Antediluvian period that pre-dates the earliest recorded human civilization, the Sumerians... The claim that these hills were naturally formed is only a cover-up, to downgrade the true history of giants and extraterrestrials into mere folklores and myths... The Gov't never allowed researchers to really look deeply in to these mounds, when locals find evidences that these mounds are not natural and consists of ancient bricks and caverns, its not investigated further and got quickly dismissed. There was always a cover-up so the truth about the Earth giant species (Nephilims) won't be revealed to the masses and the entire world...("they" or "the controllers" refuse to disclose such crucial information, so that this cannot disrupt or alter the timeline/history that "they" manufactured since the beginning) Hopefully more Filipinos and the rest of the world Awaken Now to these ancient facts and rediscover the *Lemuria* and *Mu* origins of the Philippines and other Pacific islands. We are ALL connected...As Above, So Below Love&Light 🙌💫
There are similar formations in the Guinobatan and Ligao, Albay, around 20kms southwest of Mayon. It represents an earlier stage of erosion since there are still no flat lands between the hills yet.
There is a town in South Africa called Nelspruit. It has a number of rounded rock “domes”. In my imagination it looked like massive bubbles of magma that solidified and then was exposed through erosion. Would be interesting to learn how it formed.
Karst forms are my absolute favorite. I first discovered the Chocolate Hills on google maps while cheking out the Phillipines since my friend is from there, and i instantly fell in love with the view. I recommend also checking out Yangshuo, Guilin (China)'s majestic tower karsts! Oh and for anyone wondering, the photos of the stone forests (3:28 , 3:30) are from Kunming (China) and Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park (Madagascar). It would be dream come true if I could visit any of these locations. And very good work on the video!! attention catching and the explanations are easy to understand. Loved the animation depicting carbonate factories and the erosion!
Karsts look like the environments in strange planets you see/read about in science fiction because they're just so elegantly formed! And the best part is that they're not fiction, they're real!
Much thanks for your efforts in putting out these videos. I have lived in the Philippines for several years now and am always amazed at the wonders to see here.
As a caver, I'm obsessed with karst landscapes. I feel pretty blessed to live less than 2 hours from Yorkshire, which is chock-full of limestone caves!
Both of my parents were born in Bohol, so I am of full Bol-anon blood which makes me proud of the amazing geography of our province. I visited there several times and the view is so awesome. This video is very informative since I was very curious about the Chocolate Hills.
I fell into one of your videos by mistake and I'm sure glad I did. You have a nice measured tone to your narrative and no howling about the biggest baddest thing that is going to end the world. ;) In this one the examples of weathered limestone skeletons are absolutely stunning. It is so unlikely that such amazing shapes and sizes can result simply from the weathering of rock that I am overwhelmed again by our fantastic planet and the wonders it holds. You have a new subscriber.

So I'm really happy to be able to watch this video of a geologic oddity in one of my favorite countries with your nice explanations of how they formed. Thank you so much for the video and have a nice day. 🖐👴❤

Nevertheless I'm sure, that there might be some. Perhaps it's better to ask our host about what you want to watch and if he can recommend a channel. If I accidentally find any channel like this, I will mention it here in the future. Have a nice day 🖐👴

@@Matt_M_again I just found a playlist "Geology" in the channel "Professor Dave Explains" by a RUclips recommendation. I dont know if it's something for you. 🖐👴
Wow. I’m a Filipino but I’ve been puzzled about why the “Chocolate Hills of Bohol” are almost uniform in height & shape that I once thought that they’re man-made. Thanks for this informative vid.👍
I do believe ancient man made them after digging out something there in mines. Probablem is it was so long ago, nobody knows that anymore. Maybe pre-Flood civilization. There's no way I believe they are natural.
Wow, stunning and eerie. The way you wrapped it up at the end tells quite a story. Funny and fascinating how simple rock and landscape can tell such a story, and you tell it well! Thank you
This was very interesting , as there are older formations , as shown - sharp crags - not to far from where I live . It's quite a neat place to visit , as few go there , and the full abundance of the area becomes known .
I didn't know that this was the video I wanted, an overview of karst landscape and formations. I've watched and read about this geology before, but now it clicks. I can see how all the features form, the order and process. So Cool!!! 💜🌏🏖️✌️😎🍀
This was a rather unexpected video, but It is appreciated nontheless! I am Filipino, So I thank you very much for making this video on The Chocolate Hills! I have always wondered how they were formed. Thank you so much!
Hope the next video will be about the earthquake swarms near the long valley supervolcano that occurred yesterday. It was pretty near mammoth lakes also
This is where my father was born and lived his early life. It’s always a pleasure to visit and see these beautiful formations. He’s actually shared stories of finding seashells and fossils in some of the hills he and his friends would explore. So fascinating!
@@ひろゆき二十一 PH is a volcanic island. Meaning PH came from sea and the land that we see now came from magma. It's obvious that we will find fossils of sea creatures. Try to check shale formation around PH, they mostly consist of shells
Just think about how many millions of years it takes for enough sea life to live and die in one place, and then become compressed over time to create even just 1 metre of limestone rock - then scale that up to the size of these hills. Mind blowing.
Was like isn't this just a mature karst landscape then I read the pinned comment lol. Loved learning about this when I studied physical geography and environmental science in university
So brilliant! science is the answer , GOD IS AMAZING I’m a Filipino and wondering how they formed like that too. Thank you for your clear explanation, GOT YOUR NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE. 👍🏽 THANK YOU. ❤️
In California, on the Palos Verdes peninsula, there is a section with karst geology. There were houses there at one point, but they have fallen in the ocean or been red tagged. The road through the area is constantly changing and has to be repaved frequently.
Thank you for making a video about limestone formations, I requested a video about the formations in Spain, specifically the Peñon de Ifach and Rock of Gibraltar, did those limestone structures form in the same way?
I love that island, my parents were born there and that's why we visited sometime ago to meet our clan. I'm still amazed by the Chocolate Hills, when I was a kid, I really thought that those were literally made of chocolate, lol. I have so many memories in that island, I love Bohol. 💙
A similiar karst field is on the Kulaman Plateau is east central Mindanao, in Sultan Kudarat province. It has more forest though so it stays largely greener all year round unlike the ones in Bohol which are grassy. :)
Thank you for covering the geological history of this unique land formation. In the books of our primary education in culture and civics, this land feature is only described as a national heritage. But no geological explanation from the government primary and secondary education books how the hills were created by eons of natural events.
I've explored Karst since 1964.and are a member of organized speleology in Wyoming. My Asia Pacific cave exploration was mainly in Micronesia reef caves for a couple years. Was paid to go there. Haven't had a paid journey opportunity into the Philippines yet.
Okay...not much of an oddity, but it's right next to where I live.... I'd love to see a video covering the Uinta mountains. They've got some interesting geology going on, and have a major impact on the southwest of the USA
At what stage in the evolution of large areas of limestone detailed towards the end of the video would you expect to see 'limestone pavement' structures? (such as those seen at Malham Cove for example).
I have some complications with the present Theory. I recently visited the Chocolate Hills. It doesn't match the adjoining landscape. These Mounds. Look a lot more like "Burial Mounds". I have observed in other parts of the world. Have any of these Mounds been excavated, to see what is inside ?
Yes, all along MIssissippi river there are old "Indian Mounds" and often it seems the most obvious reason for their existence escapes those who study them. That river used to flood plains all along it's banks every spring, and I suspect the main reason the mounds appear there were to escape those spring floods. Places like Bangladesh should consider making raised large mounds for the same reason, to escape onto for monsoon flood season.
Fun fact: The hills were originally unnamed, it was only until when people got introduced to the kisses chocolate that they started calling them chocolate hills due to it having almost the same shape
Here in the Philippines, most of the people's theory says that Giant Creatures (or what ever you wanna called it) made the hills out of their po*ps 😂 Anyways, thankyou for Featuring Chocolate Hills!🇵🇭 MABUHAY!
Then why there’s 1,776 of those Kisses-shaped hills ?? I saw some mound burial ritual in other culture, but not sure why these ones are giants. Maybe its Pre-Flood mound. Why the Govt will not excavate at least just one hill to see what’s inside ? its full of mystery!
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, more than 500 giant women warriors who died in a fierce battle were burried here face up looking up at the heavens!! So...there you have it!

It’s because when any substance is in a super-saturated solution it is incapable of dissolving. There’s an equilibrium between when a substance (such as calcium carbonate) dissolves and when it will become a precipitate when the water is highly saturated.
nah in florida, its because the entire state has shit tier dirt thats mixed with sand which leaves it very susceptible to erosion. and its like THAT because the entire state is a giant swamp that got filled in with sand to make it somewhat habitable.
I find it amazing that even the vegetation is different on those hills (no trees) compared to the surroundings. They also remind me those manmade burial mounds.
Farmers are going to have a hard time plowing over these mounds though. :P
Honestly I really can see why you would think that. They really do look like massive burial mounds.
fun fact: the proper name for those burial mounds is "tumulus" and "tumuli" for the plural.
In karst terrain there may be very little topsoil and rainwater sinks down through the limestone, so it can be hard for trees to take root and to get sufficient nourishment and water from the material they are trying to grow in. There's a lot of karst in the western part of what used to be Yugoslavia--in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina--that I've seen. You see farms where "fields" have been cleared of the larger rocks, which are piled into walls around the "field," in the middle of which there's one little gnarled olive tree, about the only thing that will grow. I believe this landscape exists in parts of Greece, too. There were more trees in the past, but deforestation took place and then what soil there was could get blown away or wash down into valleys. A lot of the Mediterranean area is a degraded or destroyed environment.
@@elainechubb971 That reminds me a bit of the land here in southern New England. Not the karst bit, but the way you described fields. The soil here is incredibly rocky due to the advance and retreat of the glaciers during the last glaciation. So people had to clear the soil for farming, resulting in walls around the fields made from the rocks taken from the soil, just piled up. It makes a lot of sense as to why you would just pile the rocks over on the side. But it is also quite interesting to hear about other places where similar practices occurred. At least to me it is quite interesting.
Though today trees have retaken their place on lots of fields, since there isn't as much farming here as there used to be. So you can find these rock walls in the middle of the woods at times. While hiking I have pointed these out to friends and some of my friends were very perplexed as to what a stone wall was doing in the middle of the woods. Not realizing that we were on old farmland.
It is also interesting to note how differently these environments ended up. You speak of environments that have been radically altered, while I speak of ones that have been reclaimed by the same environment they were taken from. Though the area you speak of is far more mountainous than the area I speak of and I bet that has a lot to do with it.
Anyways, enough rambling, thanks for that bit of insight into an area I have never seen.
addendum: from what I have seen of the walls around here, the smallest that people would clear from the fields are around 15-20 cm or so. Though it is entirely possible that smaller ones were used for various other purposes and did not end up in the walls.
@@whyjnot420 Thank you for your most interesting response. I haven't seen the deep woods of New England--have mostly toured on main roads! Yes, glaciated areas have had the soil scraped away by glaciers. You can see this in Scotland, too, and I am sure in Scandinavia I now live in Oregon, where the series of floods caused by the breaking of ice dams on prehistoric Lake Missoula in western Montana in the Ice Ages scoured the area of eastern Washington now known as the scablands and swept the soil down the Columbia and up the Willamette and other rivers. The wonderful soil in the Willamette Valley mostly came down from eastern Washington State! There are good RUclips videos on this. And back in the Adriatic: and the Balkans: Greece used to be well forested but trees were cut for construction and boat building and firewood. On the eastern Adriatic shores, Venice cut trees for the pilings on which the city was built. And then the topsoil was lost. So when you see video or photos of the glorious palaces along the Grand Canal, remember that their foundations are the trees from the shores of the Adriatic.(Reminiscent of Easter Island.)
@@elainechubb971 The channeled scablands are very high on the list of places I hope to see one of these days. It is simply a remarkable landscape. And the lectures of Nick Zentner have only made me want to go there even more. Much more interesting landscape than the western parts of Oregon imo. Big mountains are big mountains to me. Pretty but nowhere near as interesting as those areas that are carved out by water one way or another. (granted the glaciers in the Cascades are fairly interesting in and of themselves) Places like the Snake River and the channeled scablands hold far more interest to me.
I know that by the time of the Peloponnesian war in the later 400s BCE, Athens was getting a lot of her timber from up north in Macedon. To the point where Macedon used it as leverage when dealing with Athens. Given that Athens had a couple hundred triremes at any one time then, that had to be a massive amount of timber. This speaks volumes about how little forest was left in the southern areas of Greece, all the way back 2400 years ago.
Also to note when talking about the Mediterranean world is the deforestation of Lebanon. Once famous for its cedars. I don't think I need to say much more here. Though on this note whenever you think of pyramids, remember the cedars of Lebanon, as you can still find them in the Bent Pyramid (look up pictures of the inside of the Bent Pyramid, these timbers are massive). They would have made up the roof of the palace at Persepolis as well.
btw fun fact: The ground level of what is now Venice at the time of the Roman Empire is something like 6 feet below sea level now. Granted that area was just a big marsh 2k years ago, but still, it is an interesting fact.
I’ve seen these on so many promotional material for tourism years ago and then forgot about it. Glad to finally see a geological explanation about it.
The chocolate hills remind me of the Mima mounds found in western Washington state and also near San Diego, CA. Nice video. Thank you for posting it.
Where in San Diego?
@@Liz-sc3np They are in the East county. Do a search for "mima mounds san diego' for detailed instructions on finding them.
@@oscarmedina1303 Mima mounds looks like a child version of chocolate hills
YES THANK YOU!! I Suggested this one a few months back!! This was so amazing to see in person. If you ever get a chance to go to Bohol I highly suggest it. Just beautiful.
Thank you for the suggestion! Who would've thought that it would answer questions about other areas I had questions about, similar to the formations at the end. ✌️😎
I was playing through civ 6 and this is one of the nat wonders you come across. I thought it would be something like this, but it's really cool to have a snap shot of a geological process like this. Good video mate.
The chocolate hills are just part of the earth where the mushroom kingdom dimension mixes with our own. According to legend, there have been some rare sightings of Mario there collecting gold coins and stars.
Yahooo, wooohooo, letsago
Lmao
Na that's Imelda Marcos, but I can see how you could easily get them confused
@@crowningchristopher8273 ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
itsmemario. name mario in the Philippines are common maybe mario comes from Philippines 😆
I guess the limestone hills at the southwestern part of Bicol Peninsula in the Philippines formed the same way. They're much more dense compared to Bohol's chocolate hills. It actually starts from Ragay hills then stretching through the Tancong Vaca plateau then they become scattered upon reaching San Fernando and Baao, just to be replaced with regular fold mountains. The number of the limestone hills/mounds pick up again in Oas and Ligao which they call Tigbao highlands as those mounds formed on top of a mountain overlooking the wide plains below and the giant volcanoes on the eastern part of the peninsula. Then those hills continues down to Guinobatan and Camalig which they refer as Quitinday hills, they also extends down to Jovellar, parts of Daraga, then to Donsol and Pilar in Sorsogon. Unlike Chocolate hills, Bicol's limestone hills are not known in public at all due to the fact that the chain of volcanoes, especially the Mayon and Bulusan volcanoes overshadowing them in popularity
Wow you travel more than the locals. We have plenty of mountains and hills there. My backyard has a ricefields and mountain ranges. I used to lay down in the grass and wonder what if one of those mountains is a volcano? One of my family members built a resort on top of mountains near a volcano 🌋. Very interesting ya? I told him to be careful for landslide and volcano eruptions but he said he had it checked with the geologists. You should see he built like 10 swimming pools and tall buildings on top of a mountain. So far nothing happened yet.😁
@@suskagusip1036 it's very unlikely that your yard has a volcano. If one exists there, geologists and volcanologists will usually seal it off for research or the provincial government will just turn it into a nature park of some sorts. Anyway, Bicol is probably my favorite place in the Philippines because of the variety of geological features. The best place there is within the plains of Albay, which is actually the Oas Graben caused by the Legazpi lineament(s), where you can see all 5 volcanoes that dominate the Bicol landscape (Isarog, Asog/Iriga, Malinao, Masaraga and Mayon). While on the other side you can see the Horst of the fault line which raises the normally small Tigbao/Ligao hills and mounds up to 400-500 meters, which makes them look like Chocolate hills on top of a mountain from afar. Another favorite place of mine is the Irosin caldera, the heartland of Sorsogon, a small valley surrounded by mountains most notably the Bulusan volcano
@@EirinYagokoro
Are you a Geologist? I grew up in the mountains not too far from Boracay. They call it Baclayan mountains( Barotac Viejo and San Rafael)north of Iloilo City. We're surrounded by mountains and hills.
@@suskagusip1036 and active volcano?
@@randomnobody8713
Near Mt. Taal and Mt. Makiling.
It's so weird to hear the actual science behind it, when for all my life, the story about how Chocolate Hills came to be was always about 2 giants who were fighting, threw mud at each other, which later became these hills. 🤣🤣🤣 And i realize, im in my 30s and somehow i'd still pick the folk lore than the science on this. It was amazing when i was young and now that im adult, it's ridiculous but still good to know. 🤣 This and the story of Kanlaon in Mt. Kanlaon (which for some reason has 3 versions) are my favorites.
These can actually be the burial mounds of Giants from the Ancient continent of MU or prehistoric mining remnants, hundreds of thousands of years ago, from the Antediluvian period that pre-dates the earliest recorded human civilization, the Sumerians...
The claim that these hills were naturally formed is only a cover-up, to downgrade the true history of giants and extraterrestrials into mere folklores and myths...
The Gov't never allowed researchers to really look deeply in to these mounds, when locals find evidences that these mounds are not natural and consists of ancient bricks and caverns, its not investigated further and got quickly dismissed.
There was always a cover-up so the truth about the Earth giant species (Nephilims) won't be revealed to the masses and the entire world...("they" or "the controllers" refuse to disclose such crucial information, so that this cannot disrupt or alter the timeline/history that "they" manufactured since the beginning)
Hopefully more Filipinos and the rest of the world
Awaken Now to these ancient facts and rediscover the *Lemuria* and *Mu* origins of the Philippines and other Pacific islands.
We are ALL connected...As Above, So Below
Love&Light 🙌💫
It's AN explanation.
FINAALLLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE FOR SUCH A LONG TIME
There are similar formations in the Guinobatan and Ligao, Albay, around 20kms southwest of Mayon.
It represents an earlier stage of erosion since there are still no flat lands between the hills yet.
There is a town in South Africa called Nelspruit. It has a number of rounded rock “domes”. In my imagination it looked like massive bubbles of magma that solidified and then was exposed through erosion.
Would be interesting to learn how it formed.
Look into burial mounds. Many were discovered here in America
@@ca8547 no, these are outcrops of Granite.
Karst forms are my absolute favorite.
I first discovered the Chocolate Hills on google maps while cheking out the Phillipines since my friend is from there, and i instantly fell in love with the view.
I recommend also checking out Yangshuo, Guilin (China)'s majestic tower karsts!
Oh and for anyone wondering, the photos of the stone forests (3:28 , 3:30) are from Kunming (China) and Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park (Madagascar).
It would be dream come true if I could visit any of these locations.
And very good work on the video!! attention catching and the explanations are easy to understand. Loved the animation depicting carbonate factories and the erosion!
Karsts look like the environments in strange planets you see/read about in science fiction because they're just so elegantly formed! And the best part is that they're not fiction, they're real!
3:25 I always wondered how these formed. Another informative video.
Much thanks for your efforts in putting out these videos. I have lived in the Philippines for several years now and am always amazed at the wonders to see here.
Been on the chocolate hills. They have stairs on one of the hills to walk up to. It's a beautiful area.
Same, they’re something worth seeing in real life!
there's also floating restaurant by the rivers there and fireflies at night
As a caver, I'm obsessed with karst landscapes. I feel pretty blessed to live less than 2 hours from Yorkshire, which is chock-full of limestone caves!
Both of my parents were born in Bohol, so I am of full Bol-anon blood which makes me proud of the amazing geography of our province. I visited there several times and the view is so awesome. This video is very informative since I was very curious about the Chocolate Hills.
I fell into one of your videos by mistake and I'm sure glad I did. You have a nice measured tone to your narrative and no howling about the biggest baddest thing that is going to end the world. ;) In this one the examples of weathered limestone skeletons are absolutely stunning. It is so unlikely that such amazing shapes and sizes can result simply from the weathering of rock that I am overwhelmed again by our fantastic planet and the wonders it holds. You have a new subscriber.
Waaa 😍
I didn't expect this video being published in your channel, because for me you're the volcano and impact crater guy. But, yeah, it's also geology. So I'm really happy to be able to watch this video of a geologic oddity in one of my favorite countries with your nice explanations of how they formed. Thank you so much for the video and have a nice day. 🖐👴❤
Could you recommend any other channels that produce content like this? I love his volcano vids, but I'm itching for educational videos that go further into a wide variety of structural geology, mineralogy/petrology, sedimentology and geochemistry.
@@Matt_M_again
While studying meteorology in my university times, long ago, I also studied geography and geophysics. That's why I'm interested in volcanoes and earthquakes. So I was happy finding our host in RUclips not long ago. I still didn't search for the topics that you mentioned. So I don't know channels who discuss your topics. Nevertheless I'm sure, that there might be some. Perhaps it's better to ask our host about what you want to watch and if he can recommend a channel.
If I accidentally find any channel like this, I will mention it here in the future.
Have a nice day 🖐👴
@@OpaSpielt thanks for the response! My undergrad was in geology, though it was 10 years ago and these days I work in groundwater and remediation so real geologic sciences has become a thing of the past. I've done some searching for vids like this one, but most are very dry and hardly edutainment... I feel like there's a huge untapped market for short videos like this! Anyway hope ya have a good one!
@@Matt_M_again
I just found a playlist "Geology" in the channel "Professor Dave Explains" by a RUclips recommendation. I dont know if it's something for you.
🖐👴
Fascinating content, as always. Thanks!
Chocolate hills is so breathtaking, I cant wait to visit it, love from Indonesia
That was extremely interesting. Thank you for explaining these strange anomalies. Your Channel is the best.
Wow. I’m a Filipino but I’ve been puzzled about why the “Chocolate Hills of Bohol” are almost uniform in height & shape that I once thought that they’re man-made. Thanks for this informative vid.👍
I do believe ancient man made them after digging out something there in mines. Probablem is it was so long ago, nobody knows that anymore. Maybe pre-Flood civilization. There's no way I believe they are natural.
Wow, stunning and eerie. The way you wrapped it up at the end tells quite a story. Funny and fascinating how simple rock and landscape can tell such a story, and you tell it well! Thank you
This was very interesting , as there are older formations , as shown - sharp crags - not to far from where I live . It's quite a neat place to visit , as few go there , and the full abundance of the area becomes known .
I didn't know that this was the video I wanted, an overview of karst landscape and formations. I've watched and read about this geology before, but now it clicks. I can see how all the features form, the order and process.
So Cool!!! 💜🌏🏖️✌️😎🍀
This was a rather unexpected video, but It is appreciated nontheless! I am Filipino, So I thank you very much for making this video on The Chocolate Hills! I have always wondered how they were formed. Thank you so much!
I'm from Bohol! And I love your channel❤️
Hope the next video will be about the earthquake swarms near the long valley supervolcano that occurred yesterday. It was pretty near mammoth lakes also
Had not heard about that. Will have to look it up.
This is where my father was born and lived his early life. It’s always a pleasure to visit and see these beautiful formations. He’s actually shared stories of finding seashells and fossils in some of the hills he and his friends would explore. So fascinating!
Fossils?
@@ひろゆき二十一 PH is a volcanic island. Meaning PH came from sea and the land that we see now came from magma. It's obvious that we will find fossils of sea creatures. Try to check shale formation around PH, they mostly consist of shells
I visited these back in the 90s wish I had appreciated them more cheers
Thank you for explaining it so clearly without fluff and drama.
the chocolate hills. Like a fairytale my filipino mother would tell me before bed.
Do tell!..
Just think about how many millions of years it takes for enough sea life to live and die in one place, and then become compressed over time to create even just 1 metre of limestone rock - then scale that up to the size of these hills. Mind blowing.
Would like Yoder a podcast on the Long Valley Caldera and surrounding area! Thanks, I really enjoy our podcast!
Very cool, Before watching I had assumed that they were Mine Waste.
I've been to the chocolate hills and it's really nice and you should go there 10/10
did you eat it tho?
@@AbrahamLincoln4 it tastes of dirt and limestone
Lol
Put some chocolate syrup and put it in a fridge
I always come here every summer and still amazes and puzzles me how it was formed
Was like isn't this just a mature karst landscape then I read the pinned comment lol.
Loved learning about this when I studied physical geography and environmental science in university
Karst landscape is fascinating! And kind of scary … it’s full of holes.
"Any hole is a goal"

So brilliant! science is the answer , GOD IS AMAZING I’m a Filipino and wondering how they formed like that too. Thank you for your clear explanation, GOT YOUR NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE. 👍🏽 THANK YOU. ❤️
Those are words I didn't expect to see together in a good way
In California, on the Palos Verdes peninsula, there is a section with karst geology. There were houses there at one point, but they have fallen in the ocean or been red tagged. The road through the area is constantly changing and has to be repaved frequently.
Thank you for making a video about limestone formations, I requested a video about the formations in Spain, specifically the Peñon de Ifach and Rock of Gibraltar, did those limestone structures form in the same way?
I love that island, my parents were born there and that's why we visited sometime ago to meet our clan. I'm still amazed by the Chocolate Hills, when I was a kid, I really thought that those were literally made of chocolate, lol. I have so many memories in that island, I love Bohol. 💙
Where is the resort in the middle?
A similiar karst field is on the Kulaman Plateau is east central Mindanao, in Sultan Kudarat province. It has more forest though so it stays largely greener all year round unlike the ones in Bohol which are grassy. :)
Thank you for covering the geological history of this unique land formation. In the books of our primary education in culture and civics, this land feature is only described as a national heritage. But no geological explanation from the government primary and secondary education books how the hills were created by eons of natural events.
I've explored Karst since 1964.and are a member of organized speleology in Wyoming.
My Asia Pacific cave exploration was mainly in Micronesia reef caves for a couple years.
Was paid to go there. Haven't had a paid journey opportunity into the Philippines yet.
Okay...not much of an oddity, but it's right next to where I live....
I'd love to see a video covering the Uinta mountains.
They've got some interesting geology going on, and have a major impact on the southwest of the USA
Great video. I find the time scale involved in this discipline quite humbling. Wonderful discussion.
They look fun to surf down!
Nature is not your personal amusement park. Respect.
@@stonew1927 Like you know of nature.. Humans are animals and animals do things for fun. Plenty of animals enjoy sliding down hills.

I think the legend of the chocolate hills, as told by the local folklore, is more believable.
ah yes, giants throwing mud is more realistic than natural geological processes we've observed before
Thank you for teaching me something I knew nothing about and have found extremely interesting.
That's a pretty funky bunch of Hershey's kisses.
All they need is the paper tag! That's a fun idea for an art installation!
Nah it's Alien burial mounds. :). J/K. :). Best Regards!
Fascinating information! Thank you!😃
At what stage in the evolution of large areas of limestone detailed towards the end of the video would you expect to see 'limestone pavement' structures? (such as those seen at Malham Cove for example).
What an excellent explanation. Thanks for this.
I have some complications with the present Theory.
I recently visited the Chocolate Hills. It doesn't match the adjoining landscape.
These Mounds. Look a lot more like "Burial Mounds". I have observed in other parts of the world.
Have any of these Mounds been excavated, to see what is inside ?
Yes, all along MIssissippi river there are old "Indian Mounds" and often it seems the most obvious reason for their existence escapes those who study them. That river used to flood plains all along it's banks every spring, and I suspect the main reason the mounds appear there were to escape those spring floods. Places like Bangladesh should consider making raised large mounds for the same reason, to escape onto for monsoon flood season.
Excellent video!
can you make a video about Merangin Geopark in Sumatra? Which is one of the places that have the oldest rocks in Asia.
Great video. Thank You.
Fun fact: The hills were originally unnamed, it was only until when people got introduced to the kisses chocolate that they started calling them chocolate hills due to it having almost the same shape
every hills and everything are originally unnamed tho
source?
Thanks for answering my curiosity concerning the hills formation.
Here in the Philippines, most of the people's theory says that Giant Creatures (or what ever you wanna called it) made the hills out of their po*ps 😂
Anyways, thankyou for Featuring Chocolate Hills!🇵🇭
MABUHAY!
Brings a second meaning to the name...
That was interesting, thanks👍👍
Bruh they are Pyramid mounts of our ancestors time
Great explanation!
Then why there’s 1,776 of those Kisses-shaped hills ?? I saw some mound burial ritual in other culture, but not sure why these ones are giants. Maybe its Pre-Flood mound. Why the Govt will not excavate at least just one hill to see what’s inside ? its full of mystery!
this is a very good and intuitive explanation of karst terrain, great vid!
ah geology, you can use it to look into the past and future of a world, love this
👍love those videos 👍
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, more than 500 giant women warriors who died in a fierce battle were burried here face up looking up at the heavens!! So...there you have it!
