River Under The Sea

River under the sea in Mexico has been
discovered successfully by Frenchs
Oceanographer. He is Mr. Jacques Yves
Costeau. He is also a foremost dive
specialist. When he explored, he found
compilation of freshwater which not melt
with brine around.
It is located under the Hitam Sea, Cenot
Angelita, Mexico with 115 feet depth, a half of
mile width, and flow along 37 miles. If compared
with land river, it is 6
th
wider river in the world.
Flow pass the Bosporus Strait from
Mediterranean to Hitam Sea which has low
salinity. The water in access more solid than
water around because more has high Salinity and
brings much sediment.

Underwater rivers can be found in a cave if dive up to 30
meters depth, the water is freshwater, but if you dive to
the depth of more than 60 meters, the water becomes salt
water. In essence there is a "river" complete with trees and
foliage. But, of course it was not unusual because it is river
of hydrogen sulfide layer. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), is a
colorless gas, toxic, flammable, and smells like rotten eggs.
These gases can arise from biological activity when bacteria
break down organic material in a state without oxygen
(anaerobic activity), such as in the swamp, the sea and sewage.
Gas was also featured on the gas arising from volcanic activity
and natural gas.
