Do you know where the waterfall under the sea is?

Facts are stranger than novels. Some scenery can be unforgettable for everyone once, while some scenery will sigh the magic of nature no matter how many times you watch it. How can there be such a magical place in the world? What I want to talk about below is such a magical existence-the underwater waterfall in Mauritius.

I believe that everyone has seen the natural landscape of waterfalls in their daily travel or on TV. The waterfalls flowing down thousands of feet have brought us a very shocking visual effect. For most of us, waterfalls are formed by water flowing down from mountains and can only be seen on land.

In eastern Africa, there is a country called Very Switzerland-Mauritius, which is also one of the few rich countries in Africa. Mauritius is surrounded by coral reefs and there are various landforms on the island. The coastal areas are narrow plains, and the central areas are plateau mountains, mountainous and isolated peaks. The whole country consists of mauritius island and other small islands. Lemne coast is located in the southwest of mauritius island, and there is a very magical waterfall. This waterfall seems to be submerged on the edge of the cliff on the island. A large amount of silvery white water went straight down the edge of the cliff, and soon the sand that did not enter the dark abyss bed quickly flowed away.

However, there is an underwater waterfall near the waters of Mauritius. Tourists sit in helicopters. From top to bottom, they can find a silver waterfall flowing directly to the bottom of the sea, which seems to be a 3D animation made by God. The scene is spectacular. This landscape is not really formed by backward flowing water, but because there are too many gradient colors in this ocean. Due to the ocean flow, the slowly sinking sediment in seawater continuously flows to the edge of the slightly higher continental shelf, and then falls to the seabed several thousand meters deep along the edge. Under the irradiation of sunlight, sand and sediments change from green to blue, forming a 3D visual effect.

Mauritius is a very beautiful place. Mark Twain once said: God created Mauritius before creating heaven, and this paradise was actually created according to Mauritius. Mauritius has not only beautiful coral reefs, but also very beautiful beaches and coasts, making it an excellent place for many couples to spend their holidays.

Apart from these scenic spots, the most shocking lunch for tourists is this underwater waterfall. How did this waterfall come into being? Is this waterfall really formed by seawater? In fact, this waterfall is not a waterfall formed by ordinary water in our imagination. The white water we see is actually sediment driven by ocean currents. Just like cold air meets hot air, it forms convection and produces vortex. In the waters near Mauritius, the ocean current is very strong, and the strong ocean current pushes the sediments to the edge of the continental shelf.

There are many deep trenches near the continental shelf of Mauritius. When these sediments are pushed to the continental shelf by ocean currents, they will flow directly into the trench. Gray-white sediments and dark ditches form a strong visual effect, and you will find that this waterfall-like spectacle is seen from a height.

So to sum up, the underwater waterfall in Mauritius is not a real waterfall, but a launching waterfall caused by visual errors. The main reason for this view is the role of ocean currents. I have to sigh, the magic and creativity of nature. Moved the imagination only in film and television works to real life.
