Here Are 12 Points In The World Where Major Bodies Of Water Join Together… And They’re So Awesome.

A confluence is a geography term used to describe when two or more bodies of water meet. It usually used to refer to the point where two or more streams flow together, merging and creating a single stream. But it can also be where a tributary joins a more massive river, as is the case in these ten examples below.


These pictures of river confluence really show off the amazing contrast in color as two different rivers meet. In most of these examples, it's due to a wider, slower river that can carry more silt colliding with one that runs quicker, making them carry different types of earth. But in the case of the Jialing River in China, it's due to human pollution.

It's not two oceans meeting, its glacial meltwater meeting the offshore waters of the Gulf of Alaska. The reason for this strange phenomenon is due to the difference in water density, temperature, and salinity of the glacial meltwater and offshore waters of the Gulf of Alaska, making it difficult to mix.


Interestingly, the capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, was founded in 1857 at the confluence of the Gombak and Klang rivers. In English, the name literally means "muddy confluence." Today, the junction there isn't very noticeable.

  13. Water harm can be characterized mostly by its starting point. Generally, it very well may be followed from a releasing hose, a flood from the kitchen sink or the clothes washer, in-divider pipes that have separated, latrine stops up, rooftops that break, dividers that structure dampness from the inside and surprisingly normally happening marvels like flood, snow, or weighty downpours.mold removal near me
