If there were alien trees on an alien planet, would they 
look like this?  Maybe! But these are right here on Earth...
   
They’re called baobab trees, and they grow on the island 
of Madagascar. They're some of the weirdest on Earth!

This isn’t an alien planet… it’s a place called Red Beach, 
China!  The ground is covered with a strange plant...
   
Most plants look green, but these plants are full of 
tiny red flowers. It makes the whole beach look red!

  Sulfur is found near volcanoes! This area is next to Mount 
Dallol, a volcano in the country of Ethiopia, in Africa.
   
When sulfur mixes with hot water, it turns the water 
green. So there are pools of green water all around too!

  When sulfur burns, it gives off a blue flame. So this 
volcano in Indonesia looks like it's erupting blue lava!
