The scientists discovered large rivers flowing beneath the Black Sea. The river is 350 times larger in size than the river Thames in England is like a river flowing in the mainland.
River about half a mile wide is located at a depth of 115 feet below sea level.Having enough current rains and even waterfalls. If the comparisons, a river that do not have this name is the sixth largest river in the world.
Scientists from the University of Leeds, using a robot submarine to examine the river that lies beneath this sea near Turkey.
This underwater river carrying sediment and water is very salty, flowing from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea through the Bosphorus Strait. Amount of salt water that flows in the river below the sea was about 22 thousand cubic meters or 10 times bigger than the biggest river in Europe, the Rhine.
Chairman of the research team dr And Parson said the water that flows in the river below the sea has a "density" is higher than the surrounding sea water, because it carries so much sediment.
The discovery of this great river helpful explanation of how the creatures on the seabed can survive, because they turned out to take advantage of sediments and nutrients carried by river.
