Why is Pamukkale white?

This fabulous natural formation Pamukkale appeared more than 4000 years ago after the strongest earthquake and fault in the earth's crust, from which the hot waters saturated with minerals poured. Calcium prevailing in mineral water, evaporating and layering on the mountain surface, formed extraordinary formations, similar to huge white steps-terraces or walls of the fortress. In another way, they are also called travertines.
