It’s a well-known
fact that there are 4 oceans on our planet: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and
Arctic. I’m not a fan of dry facts, so my geographical knowledge or whatever
you call it stops here. To be honest, I’m not that into science at all, and I
didn’t go to the college. I admit that it was a mistake, so in an attempt to
make it up to myself I became a student of a local art school. It’s a small
school, more of an open course kind.
Anyways, despite my lack of education, I got hooked on the beauty and
mystery of water surface and became obsessed with the Ocean. Not a long time
ago I saw this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Gibraltar
and remembered that I’d heard something like that before, which totally that
blew my mind. The waters of Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean meet in the
Strait of Gibraltar but don’t mix. It was a mystery for a long time until
scientists discovered that the nature of that strange phenomenon was the
difference of water density and salinity. That’s why two water masses create
this gorgeous line with two different shades of blue to its both sides. There
are a lot of negative critics to such an explanation but it works perfectly
well for the humanitarian brain of mine. Plus it looks beautiful.
