Mauritius - An Old, Undetectable Continent Underneath The Indian Ocean Posted By: dave b meurs

In accordance with new information, below the waters of Indian Ocean, next to the heavenly isle of Reunion and Mauritius, happen to be traces of historic, hidden continent. In the period when Madagascar and India were splitting, fragment of the actual continent, referred to as Mauritius, separated itself 62 million years ago and it was lying undetectable under big loads of lava. It would appear that this sort of micro-continent that is undetectable underneath the ocean's surface occur much more often compared to what was recently imagined. The actual sand grains from Mauritius beach locations tend to be dating back to the volcanic eruption which came about 8 million years ago, but the analysis has demonstrated that they contain mineral deposits that are much older. The disintegration of the continents can often be associated with geological sensation known as mantle plumes. These are huge bubbles with melted stones that rise from the depths of the globe's tectonic plates as well as make softer the actual plates coming from beneath until they split in critical locations ("hot spots"). In this manner, Eastern Gondwana had been disintegrated some 170 million years ago, suggests Ely Sakhai.Ely SakhaiEli SakhaiSakhaiElyEliElysakhaiElisakhai
