Aq Qaya (Crimean Tatar: Aq Qaya, Ukrainian: Ак-Кая, Russian: Белая скала) — is a rock in Crimea, situated near the village of Belaya Skala/Ak-Kaya of the Bilohirsk Raion.
[1][2][3] The vertical white rocky wall rises above the valley of the Biyuk-Karasu river.
Aq Qaya was created as a result of erosion and weathering of chalk and Paleogene limestones and sandstones — a clear example of the Cuesta relief.
In the upper part of the rock weathering created pillars, grottoes, oval niches.
At the bottom of the rocks, weathering products accumulate such as slides, piles of boulders, erosion hollows.
