Ocean rift
Author: s | 2025-04-24
Rift valleys can become mid-ocean ridges if the rifting process continues and the land further splits apart, allowing ocean water to enter the valley. The upwelling of basaltic lava and the lateral rifting of the oceanic crust will then create a mid-ocean ridge.

And, Riot's usual routine, the addition of new skins is also coming with Patch 3.1a. Most importantly, a new event, Wild Puzzle will be available for players to test their puzzle-solving skills. As mentioned in Patch 3.1 update, Elemental Rift is finally getting launched with the upcoming update. This mode lets you fight three Dragons including Mountain, Infernal and Ocean.

Nunu and Willump can become an excellent choice as a side lane or mid lane tank. Buff him up with decent HP items and you're good to go.Lastly, the cost change on Blade of the Ruined King might affect the damage dealers as its low cost made it the first preferredComments

2025-03-31So-named feature. It occurs mostly in areas where huge amounts of fresh water, such as snow, melts and dives into the sea.Formation of an underwater waterfallThe principle behind the underwater waterfall of Mauritius Mauritius island was formed by a shield volcano 10 million years ago. Scientifically, it is important to understand Mauritius’ geology to grasp the concept of this waterfall. In the west, north-west and south-west parts of Mauritius, a rift zone extends from the tip of Le Morne up to Grand Baie [1]. A rift zone is a series of cracks along the volcanic flanks through which magma emerge.Cracks in the volcanic shield of MauritiusThe zone where water appears to be cascading into a crevice at Le Morne is actually a fault in the volcanic shield of Mauritius. Some 18,000 years ago, sea levels were lower than what they are now. Sediment analysis in the south-west region reveals that the current lagoon was once exposed. It is on this mud bed that a system of coral reef, stretching over a distance of 5 km, emerged [1]. Beyond the reef, the slopes of the volcano descend into deep waters. Active weathering and rockfall over the years soften the ground. Similarly, the recurrent movement of water helps in deepening the crack.Water currents cause the optical illusion of a waterfall Just like the seabed is covered with sand and sediment, the regions around the crack are also covered with the same materials. Water currents constantly move from the ocean towards the coast and vice versa thus causing sand to slip into the crack. It is this downward slip of sand into the void that causes an optical illusion of a waterfall.In fact, no water is actually falling in this scenario. Since the crack is underwater, it is already filled with water to the same surface level as the sea around it.Photos of the underwater waterfall of Mauritius edited On a more realistic point, the optical illusion of the waterfall is not like falling off the flat surface at the end of the world. Most of the photos are tricked for a more dramatic effect. The actual optical illusion indeed exists but can mostly be discerned from above by the colour change in the area from green to blue. This colour change indicates a drop in the seafloor. Thereon, the descent of sand in that particular spot creates the underwater waterfall illusion.Do underwater waterfalls really exist?Emphatically yes. In many regions around the world such as the Bahamas, divers have reported the phenomenon. Strangely, the largest waterfall in the world is underwater! The Denmark Strait, found in Denmark in between Greenland and Iceland, is an 11,500 feet underwater waterfall. Amazingly, it is approximately 4 times the size of the biggest waterfall on land which is Angel Falls in Venezuela.Reference:Saddul, P. (2002). Mauritius, A Geomorphological Analysis.
