Since the molecules in the cold water are less active and take up less space than in warm drink, they are packed simultaneously more tightly, generating colder water denser.
#MAURITIUS UNDERWATER WATERFALL DANGEROUS TORRENT#
The Denmark Strait torrent is formed by the difference in condition between the ultra-cold Arctic waters of the Greenland Sea reaching thos e of the sligh tl Ringer Irminger Sea. It’s easy to picture an puddle as a giant bathtub that sloshes everywhere with the tides, but seawater is actually very dynamic waters of different climates and salinities - and, therefore, densities - are always collaborating on large and small proportions. It plummets 11,500 f eet (3,505 m eters) straight down from the Greenland Sea into the Irm inger Sea, carrying around 175 thousand cubic feet (5 million cubic meters) of water per second - dwarfing any giant waterfall you could find on land.įor occurrence, Angel Falls in Venezuela, the tallest fall above sea level, is three times shorter than the Denmark Strait cataract, and Niagara Falls carries 2,000 times less water, even during peak flows.The most breathtaking thing about the Denmark Strait torrent isn’t, perhaps, how it got to be so tall and mighty, but that an undersea waterfall can exist at all. There are no variegations at all, in fact, and that’s because the Denmark Strait torrent is entirely underwater.Located in the little slice of ocean between Greenland and Iceland, the gigantic waterfall known as the Denmark Strait torrent is 100 miles ( 160 kilometers ) wide. There’s no overlook, there will be no oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over the rainbows in the torrent spray. Sorry, you can’t go visit the world’s tallest fall.
