A farmer just wanted to find water but what happened next surprised the whole world

hi there nature is so mysterious and unpredictable that mankind still cannot get used to its antics once a simple farmer accidentally made a phenomenal discovery he drilled a well to extract water but what burst to the surface was noticed by the whole world in the early 1900s of the last century an American farmer in Nevada was trying to establish his own agriculture therefore he decided that it was necessary to dig a well which would provide water for irrigation for his land the man began to dig a well right in the middle of the desert and when he got to the groundwater he was in for an unpleasant surprise the water deposits he came across were very hot the temperatures reached 390 degrees Fahrenheit which is truly unbelievable but he couldn't dig further the next attempt to get water from his ranch took place in 1964 at this time new technologies appeared in this area so ranchers were determined to succeed unfortunately their hopes were not realized the water temperature was still too high and drilling with special equipment was impossible but despite the failure of the mission to extract water for irrigation a truly unique discovery took place after all the resulting geyser was very unusual and not just because of its temperature but also the fact that real mountains begin to grow around it and their color and size are simply amazing and it was like magic and the landscape resembled farms from a fairy tale movie as the natural phenomenon increased people began to notice that the geyser had its own ecosystem fish and birds began to breed which made this discovery even more mysterious but how is this even possible in what is this miracle it turns out that this phenomenon has a scientific explanation today this phenomenon is called fly geyser its exact location as black rock desert Nevada an amazing creation was created thanks to the tandem of man he in nature according to scientists during drilling attempts a layer of ancient underground geothermal waters was affected many years later it began to manifest itself in the form of boiling water emissions on the surface of the earth due to the rich mineral composition of the water and unusual landscape has formed dissolve salts of calcium carbonate when they hit the ground froze in the form of bizarre growths and thus three heels appeared on top of which water and steam flow like a fountain today the height of the geyser is 10 feet and it continues to grow both up and in breath so experts are sure that the source will increase in the next decade until the flow of water runs out at the same time the cone-shaped figures have a simply amazing color this color scheme has created thanks to microorganisms living in the water cyanobacteria and blue-green algae give the area emerald green red burgundy and yellowish shoes due to this the desert landscape was transformed beyond recognition a fabulous oasis inhabited by fish and birds which adds even more beauty to the place for a long time fly geyser was not well known to anyone since it was located on the territory of private estates however in 2016 the owner sold the land to the creators of the Burning Man festival the company arranged tourist trips to the source and now anyone can enjoy the unearthly landscape and what do you think about this phenomenon write in the comments and here is another incredible story the lack of fresh drinking water on earth is one of the global issues for Humanity since the middle of the last century scientists have been trying to find an answer to it and it seems that now they are significantly closer to solving this problem more recently the geologists of one of the oil companies not wanting it made a significant discovery of world significance as usual they went on a reconnaissance expedition to search for black gold this time they needed to drill pilot wells in the Atlantic Ocean near the North American continent and more precisely off the coast of New England however geologists did not find oil but what they discovered was much more interesting and important for Humanity samples from the wells suggested that a fresh lake was hidden beneath the ocean of course scientists immediately became interested in this amazing find because now more than a billion people do not have full access to drinking water and this find in the future can help solve this problem the ecology of Columbia University equipped an expedition to the shores of New England the task of the research team was to understand how large the supply of freshwater was and to study its origin according to the results of a search operation in the summer of 2019 scientists at Columbia University published a report accessible to the masses in the journal scientific reports they said their research team used electromagnetic sensors towed behind a research vessel to search for fresh water their task was to measure the difference in the conductivity of electricity in water the fact is that salt water is a much better conductor than fresh so it's important to find areas with low conductivity as a result a freshwater reservoir was discovered extending from Delaware to Massachusetts and possibly hundreds of miles further north which has remained untouched since the last ice age please note that the Aqua fire near the coast is indicated by yellow strokes the triangles represent the lines of sight from the study and the total volume of the reservoir is at least twice the volume of Lake Ontario whose area by the way is a 25,000 square miles this is a truly grandiose scientific discovery which can become a lifeline for the inhabitants of our planet after all we all know that the supply of freshwater is not endless and in regions suffering from drought for example in Africa in the Middle East and even in the southern states of the US the existence of a marine reservoir with freshwater can be a real salvation that is why the scientific community considers it necessary to conduct a fundamental study of coastal zones and dry coasts around the world the main task is to determine whether the existence of such fresh basins and other places is possible and how they can be used to solve the problem of jinking water in the arid regions of the planet but where did the fresh water come from under the ocean and in such quantities about 26 and a half thousand years ago our planet was covered with ice shields this was the last glacial maximum that is the greatest degree of glaciation of the earth for the entire ice age at that time almost the entire northern part of the United States was covered with giant ice sheets since then the earth has slowly heated up glaciers have melted and large and small lakes have formed on the northern part of the American continent but what does this have to do with the freshwater mass found by geologists scientists claim that during the last ice age sea level was much lower than the current one and coastlines were stretched much further than now almost the entire land surface in that era was covered with ice crust and subsequently when the sea level rose it went underwater and nowadays it is hidden under the ocean gradually ice sheets began to melt fresh water seeped onto the continental shelf and created a huge freshwater pool under the ocean off the coast of New England this discovery proves once again that we still do not know much about our planet and perhaps before setting off to explore other galaxies we first need to find out about own planet and that's all for today write in
