Here is a list of Top 10 Unexplained Geological Formations — natural or possibly artificial structures on Earth (and sometimes other planets) that continue to puzzle scientists, historians, and researchers due to their unusual shapes, compositions, or origins:
The Richat Structure (Eye of the Sahara) – MauritaniaAlso known as the Eye of the Sahara, this giant circular geological feature is easily visible from space. Initially thought to be an asteroid impact crater, it is now believed to be a symmetrical eroded dome, though its perfect circular shape remains a mystery.

The Yonaguni Monument – JapanLocated off the coast of Yonaguni Island, this underwater structure resembles a stepped pyramid with terraces, sharp edges, and what appear to be staircases. Some believe it is a man-made megalithic structure from a lost civilization, while others argue it's naturally shaped rock formations.
