MAGICAL CREATIONS

Magical Sea:

Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives is a magical place. There is the sea of stars that exist, and it is not a figment of our imagination. We will all have to agree that the world is a wild and wonderful place. The beauty of this beach is stunning. This island reveals another mystical surprise in the night. Glowing blue waves, lapping the sand shore, straight out of fantasy land.

The science could be complicated, but the aftereffects are so amazing. Also, as the microorganisms float in the sea, the movement in the water sends electrical impulses.

It is one of the islands of Raa Atoll. Although it is a tiny island with just over 500 inhabitants, its sea of stars phenomenon has planted it firmly on the global map.

Magical Bird(India):

Gandabherunda ( also known as the Bherunda ) is a two-headed mythological bird of Hindu mythology thought to possess magical strength.

Magical Tree:

General Sherman Sequoia tree I a giant sequoia tree located in Sequoia National Park, in California. It is currently the largest known living single stem tree on Earth. Its estimated mass is 2,472,000 lbs and is estimated to be around 2,400 – 2,800 years old.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...

The Chemical Lake

Spotted Lake or Lake khiluk in Canada is richly concentrated with various minerals. It contains dense deposits of magnesium sulfate, calcium, and sodium sulfates. It also contains high concentrations of eight other minerals and lower amounts of silver and titanium. Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, revealing colorful mineral deposits. Large ‘spots’ on the lake appear and are colored according to the mineral composition and seasonal amount of precipitation. Magnesium sulfate, which crystallizes in the summer, is a major contributor to spot color. Originally known to the First Nations of the Okanagan Valley (Native American Tribe) as Khiluk, Spotted Lake was for centuries and remains revered as a sacred site thought to provide therapeutic waters. It is the most mineralized lake in the world. Each spot holds a different cure due to the unique chemical content found within each puddle. Lake Khiluk is considered a saline endorheic alkali lake. The Okanag...

Why is the Pacific Ocean shrinking and the Atlantic Ocean is getting wider?

Twenty million years ago there was no Atlantic Ocean. But then, thanks to plate tectonics, the South American and North American continents were separated by a rift valley that eventually turned into the Atlantic Ocean. The complementary shapes of the South American and African continents have long been noticed, but it wasn't until the 1960s that the theory of plate tectonics became accepted as the explanation. These days, the Atlantic Ocean is growing at a rate of five centimetres per year, as new sea floor is created by volcanic activity along its mid-ocean ridge. On the other hand, the much older Pacific Ocean is currently estimated to be shrinking by two to three centimetres each year. Again, this comes down to plate tectonics because the Pacific Ocean has subduction zones on three sides - where the Pacific plate submerges beneath other plates. Since there are very few subduction zones in the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic oceans...
