These areas, through their topography and geomorphological forms, represent exceptional and beautiful natural phenomena, and they present a scene specific to the great stages of Earth's history through transverse fractures of tectonic origin that created many volcanoes, represented by the Seven Brothers Islands, in addition to the Mabla Mountains with "pink peaks" and its forests, which played an important role in the process of its geomorphological evolution.
