Speaking of sunshine, the sea, of course, there are also supporting beaches, today I will introduce you to some beautiful beaches!
Glass Beach, California
Glass Beach is located in Fort Bragg, California, United States. Glass, like sand, is mainly made of silica. The forces of nature have turned the once abandoned artificial glass into small, naturally occurring boulders and sands, forming a beautiful landscape with the cobblestones of the beach itself. This is an ancient erosion process that has been playing out on the planet's sands long before humans appeared.
Hawaii Black Beach
Frequent volcanic activity on Hawaii's Big Island has created its unique black sand beaches. Volcanic eruptions, hot lava flows pour into the seawater, and its shell quickly hardens under the cooling of the seawater, and the seawater becomes a large amount of superheated steam. The shell of the lava flow cannot withstand the tension of the internal steam, and it falls apart and breaks into lava fragments. The main components of lava fragments are iron-rich magnesium minerals such as magnetite (ferric tetroxide) and gabbro, so they appear black.
After years of erosion and polishing by the waves, these fragments eventually turned into black sand grains. Barefoot on the black sand beach, there is no feeling of tying feet, delicate, soft touch can make people quickly relax, began to appreciate and enjoy this strange beach, marvel at the magic of creation.
Maldives Fluorescent Beach
Fluorescent seas are actually a bioluminescent phenomenon. The so-called bioluminescence phenomenon refers to the process by which organisms release chemical energy into light energy through certain chemical reactions in the body. The glow of fireflies is the most well-known bioluminescent phenomenon. The scientific name for these beautiful spots of light in the Maldives is Polygonal Tongue Algae. There is also a non-plant, non-animal, non-animal flagella that emits light, a single-celled microbiome similar to bacteria. When pressed by external forces such as the lapping of the waves, they glow like fireflies.
Bahamas Pink Beach
It should be hard to associate pink with sand, right? However, in the idyllic island nation of the Bahamas, there is a beautiful pink sand beach hidden.
The islands here are mostly flat, and the surface of the islands is covered with a layer of ground coral powder – coral sand and coral mud. And the pink sand beach formed by the fusion of red coral powder and xisha here looks like strawberry milk from a distance.
Hawaii Green Beach
In addition to black beaches, Hawaii has another unique sandy beach. Known as a jewel-paved green sand beach, Papakolea Beach is located in the southernmost part of Hawaii's Big Island in the U.S. state of Hawaii and is one of only two green sand beaches in the world. From a distance, the beach formed of peridot looks like a delicate piece of jasper displayed between the sea and the sky, which shocks everyone who sees it!
