Breathtaking Sparkling Water of Maldives https://dafuqfacts.com/breathtaking-sparkling-water-of-maldives/ https://dafuqfacts.com/breathtaking-sparkling-water-of-maldives/#respond Sat, 20 Sep 2014 12:27:26 +0000 http://dafuqfacts.com/?p=321

Did you know there is a beach in Mudhood island of the Maldives that glows at night?

Yes, you heard it right Vadhoo island, aka Mudhood island, is known for being a heaven on Earth due to the Sparkling water of Maldives. But they have a lot of surprises that reveal at night. A glowing dark sea at night is no more limited to the fairytales in books or Television!

Now you can see the magical sea live at Vaadho Island!

Gorgeous Sparkling water of Maldives.

Vaadhoo Island, Maldives

The Maldives is a 1,192-island nation called the Vaadhoo Island located in the Indian Ocean and the Laccadive Sea. It is Asia’s smallest and most geographically dispersed nation, with the islands spread over 90,000 square kilometers. The island has earned for itself a little tourist spot on the global map. For a long unknown time, this island was kept as a secret, but now after a long time, it has become one of the tourist spots!

It is known for being a heaven on Earth. Its Sparkling water of Maldives has been named the ‘Sea of stars’.

Glowing waves in the Vaadhoo Island can be explained by bioluminescence or natural light, a chemical process in the body of animals in which liberated energy is released in the form of light which is used as a defense mechanism to either distract or confuse the predators.

It is a place where animals and humans co-exist happily! 

In the Vaadhoo Island, this stunning phenomenon of bioluminescence is demonstrated by a species of phytoplankton (the marine microbes) called dinoflagellates. Moreover, the sea is vast and mysterious and FULL OF MYSTERIOUS CREATURES!

It may seem like an alien life-form has washed up on a beach, but this striking neon blue effect is an entirely natural phenomenon. Photographer Doug Perrine took the incredible image during his visit to Vaadhoo, one of the beautiful Raa Atoll islands in the Maldives.

This captures a natural chemical reaction called bioluminescence, this chemical reaction occurs when a micro-organism in the water is disturbed by oxygen.

The mesmerizing sparkling water of Maldives

The Mesmerizing Sparkling water of Maldives looks like a mirror that reflects the sparkling stars above in the night sky. However, the mushy secret of this is the phytoplankton who are the marine microbes and are bioluminescent and impart the blue glow at night.

These species create the most romantic and magical natural lighting in the world. The phenomenal reaction is similar to the ‘glow’ that is used by fireflies to attract prey or mates.

Although it is a rare sight on a shoreline, the phenomenon can be more commonly seen at sea in the wake of ships as they stir up the oxygen in the sea, which causes the bioluminescent bacteria to glow.

Many marine organisms’ glow’, especially the creatures that reside at depths of the sea where the light from the surface doesn’t penetrate much.

The night-time glow is considered as the side-effect of blooming red algae, which is known as the red tide; it can turn entire beaches scarlet and murky during the day.

 The poignant smell of decay, caused by rotting kelp, plankton, and fish often accompanies the event as the red algae starve the oxygen released from the water and the light.

By night, there is an unusual increase in microscopic plankton called dinoflagellates, which glow in the dark when disturbed by currents or waves.

Mr. Perrine’s photo also shows the Sparkling water of Maldives glow of a ship’s lights on the horizon towards the right of the picture. At the same time, the stars in the above sky provide a subtle contrast to the blue aura on the beach.

Science Behind the Growing Stones of Romania Will Shock you! https://dafuqfacts.com/science-behind-the-growing-stones-of-romania/ https://dafuqfacts.com/science-behind-the-growing-stones-of-romania/#comments Sat, 20 Sep 2014 08:25:45 +0000 http://dafuqfacts.com/?p=288 Romania known for the rich medieval history is surrounded by authentic castles and is surrounded by undisturbed forest, which makes it one of the most desired places by nature-lovers. One such nature destination is Costesti where stones quite literally grow by themselves, and they are popularly called growing stones of Romania.

For someone, it is difficult to imagine how rocks can grow, naturally but look at them! They are growing it seems like they are living!

This is a gorgeous growing stone of Romania.
Trovants grow on their own! Look how gorgeous they look!

Romanian Trovants Museum of Natural Reserve is located in Valcea County, which is close to the road connecting the Ramnicu Valcea and Targu Jiu and is 8 km far from Horezu. Here is a small village called Costesti, where you will find fascinating and mysterious rocks named trovants, and they are believed to have life.

After this pandemic gets over and you are done binge-watching movies or developing your favorite hobbies, you must visit this place! 

There you can find sand or grass levels with them in many places. Still, the ones who are in the region of Costesti are impressive! As there is diversity in their shapes and measurements.

SCIENCE BEHIND GROWING STONES OF ROMANIA

They – significantly represent quite a bizarre geological phenomenon, which consists of spherical shapes of cemented sand due to some potent seismic activity that occurred 6 million years ago. They have a strong core, but their shells are made of granules. Scientifically these giant rocks are sandstone concretions, and they achieve the weird forms is an irregular secretion of cement.

But Geologists argue that they are the result of a cementation process that occurred millions of years ago in this region. The earthquakes have contributed towards the creation of them. It is entirely assumed they consist of a core with the strands on the outer shells. Now you must be wondering what makes these formations unique and mysterious? This is because they are reproducing after they come in contact with water. After heavy raining, they grow to start with 6-8 millimeters and ending with 6-10 meters.

Growing stones of Romania
These are the beautiful growing stones of Romania who grown on their own!

In the year 2006, a museum (Muzeul Trovantilor) was built in Costesti, a village in the Valcea to host some of these remarkable pieces. Within the walls and outside of this museum, visitors can see them in different shapes and sizes. Besides, just like the famous rocks located in the Death Valley of California, show movements. They move from one place to another! Often you can find complex aggregates of the two or more of them. However, there is no mineralogical difference between the strange pseudo concretions and the surrounding strands.

Their cement is carbonate-type, and no distinct nucleus can be found inside them. There have been many hypotheses about their origin. However, according to scientists, they increase in size because of the mixture of high content mineral salts, which are present under their outer shell. When the outer surface becomes wet, the chemicals that are present start spreading and they start putting pressure on the sand, which actually makes them “grow.”

HOW WERE GROWING STONES OF ROMANIA FORMED?   

Growing stones in Romania were formed due to the process that basically involved: the gravitation force, solution cohesion forces (particularly surface tension), seismic shocks, another reason is the adhesion strength between the liquid and granules. 

Growing stones of Russia
Beautiful growing stones in Russia.

The great rocks that are found in the thick beds reflect enormous primary amounts of solutions in the vast bulk of sediment. The perfect spherical shapes of the rock, which sometimes can be found, suggest significant magnitudes and the durations of paleo earthquakes.

On Earth, they are not at all in the UK, but from different ages, they have been recorded in Russia, Wyoming, and Siberia. Few of them can also be found in the Carpathians area.
