"My god is greater than yours" syndrome.

Humans should learn, and avoid fighting for a god, if indeed the god is great.

It's natural for those who travel thru the Nigerian/cameroon waters you can observe similar thing. But am yet to know the mystery behind.

Madness of humans, already here arguing on whose God /Allah made it... Foolishness, ascribing the grandiose of nature to your fables ... Madness, and these ones claim to be educated....

I spit on black race...


That's why we blacks are perpetually slaves in the eyes of the Caucasian and the Arabs, who had no good intentions for the people of the dark continent called Africa. All we know is religion, while the world is developing we are doing religion and politics. That's why I believe that africa and the black race was just used to complete Ecosystem.

The Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico. The two
bodies of water never mix with each other; allowing the
Gulf of Mexico to retain its clear, blue color. Simply
amazing!

Bros, they do eventually mix o!
A picture from the Gulf of Alaska
that has been making the rounds
on the Internet for the last few
years -- though particularly in
recent weeks -- shows a strange
natural phenomenon that occurs
when heavy, sediment-laden water
from glacial valleys and rivers
pours into the open ocean. There
in the gulf, the two types of water
run into each other, a light, almost
electric blue merging with a darker
slate-blue.
Informally dubbed “the place
where two oceans meet,” the
explanation for the photo is a
simple one, though there are many
misconceptions about it, including
that catchy title. In particular on
popular link-sharing website
Reddit, where users have on
multiple occasions erroneously
attributed the photo’s location as
“Where the Baltic and North Sea
meet” and the two types of water
as being completely incapable of
ever mixing, instead perpetually
butting against each other like a
boundary on a map.
You also may have seen a variation
on the photo featuring the same
phenomenon, taken by
photographer Kent Smith while on
a July 2010 cruise in the Gulf of
Alaska. That photo too has been
circulating the web for some time,
though the misconceptions about
it seem to be less thanks to Smith's
explanation of the photo on his
Flickr page. That one has also been
making the rounds on Reddit and
social media for years, and had
racked up more than 860,000
views by early 2013 on that one
page alone, Smith said.
That original photo, however,
originates from a 2007 research
cruise of oceanographers studying
the role that iron plays in the Gulf
of Alaska, and how that iron
reaches certain areas in the
northern Pacific.
Ken Bruland, professor of ocean
sciences at University of California-
Santa Cruz, was on that cruise. In
fact, he was the one who snapped
the pic. He said the purpose of the
cruise was to examine how huge
eddies -- slow moving currents --
ranging into the hundreds of
kilometers in diameter, swirl out
from the Alaska coast into the Gulf
of Alaska.
Those eddies often carry with
them huge quantities of glacial
sediment thanks to rivers like
Alaska’s 286-mile-long Copper
River, prized for its salmon and
originating from the Copper
Glacier far inland. It empties out
east of Prince William Sound,
carrying with it all that heavy clay
and sediment. And with that
sediment comes iron.
“Glacier rivers in the summertime
are like buzzsaws eroding away the
mountains there,” Bruland said. “In
the process, they lift up all this
material -- they call it glacial flour --
that can be carried out.”
Once these glacial rivers pour out
into the larger body of water,
they’re picked up by ocean
currents, moving east to west, and
begin to circulate there. This is one
of the primary methods that iron --
found in the clay and sediment of
the glacial runoff -- is transported
to iron-deprived regions in the
middle of the Gulf of Alaska.
As for that specific photo, Bruland
said that it shows the plume of
water pouring out from one of
these sediment-rich rivers and
meeting with the general ocean
water. It’s also a falsehood that
these two types of water don’t mix
at all, he said.
“They do eventually mix, but you
do come across these really
strong gradients at these specific
moments in time,” he said. Such
borders are never static, he
added, as they move around and
disappear altogether, depending
on the level of sediment and the
whims of the water.
There is much study being
conducted on how this iron
influences marine productivity, in
particular its effects on the growth
of plankton, which Bruland
referred to as “the base of the food
chain.”
But rivers aren’t the only way that
glacier sediment finds its way into
the Gulf of Alaska -- occasionally
strong winds can whip up enough
silt to create a cloud of dust that’s
visible even from space as its being
carried out to sea.
So next time somebody shares a
“really cool photo” of “the place
where two oceans meet,” feel
free to let them know the
science behind the phenomenon.
After all, in this Internet age,
nothing spreads faster than
misinformation.

Lol!
Practicalize it at home, bro. We wait to see the result. Am not siding nor against.. I only want to see the reason why it shouldn't amaze us.
If you can do something similar even if not exact, then I've got no reason to be amazed.
Make them flow in parallel
