Chitra-chitra: Not a fairy tale - the story of another river below the river

The Dhaka Times Desk It sounds like a fairy tale, but it is not a fairy tale. In fact, there is another river under the river! There is such a story for you.

Recently, Balia Mannathal Hamza, an Indian child from Brazil, and his companions explored an oil well and discovered a world lying underground. No, not a city. a river Amazing story. It is a wonderful game of nature. Another long river runs below the Amazon River. The river was named Rio Hamza in recognition of Hamza. It is not the first interglacial river in the world.

We all know Amazon is the second largest river in the world. Three-quarters of it flows from west to east through Brazil. It is known that Hamza and his colleagues recently spoke about this discovery at the International Congress of the Société Brasileira Geophysical in Rio de Janeiro, saying that the Rio Hamza flows from west to east like the Amazon.

How was that river found?

A company called Petroba drilled 241 wells in the 1970s and 1980s to search for oil in the Amazon Basin. Oil is no longer extracted from there. Scientists observe temperature variations in unused wells. That's when they get upset. Balia Mananthal Hamza and Elizabeth Travers Pimentel of Kerala conducted the research on behalf of the Brazil National Observatory.

For the convenience of that search, they created a special type of mathematical model, with the help of which the location of this underground river can be found. Pimentel states that the Hamza River, originating in the Andes, flows through a rock channel 2,000 meters underground. After that, it changed its course and passed a long way below the earth's surface and joined the sea. 6,000 kilometers in length like the Amazon, but much wider than the Amazon. About 200 to 400 km. That is why the speed of the river is not like that of the Amazon. Amazon's speed is about five meters per second, but Hamza's speed is only a few millimeters per hour.

It is believed that a debate has started on whether such a slow-flowing river can really be called a river. But scientists are reluctant to give up. Rio Hamza's excitement is now high. Research has begun. Hamzara hopes to be able to recover the entire existence of the river by 2014.

Hamza has been conducting research in this region for 4 decades. Scientists have been puzzled for a long time as to why the salt level in the sea water in the Amazon estuary is low. Rio Hamzai has been working behind the scenes for ages. The Rio Hamza also has an impact on the nature of the Amazon. Be that as it may. Researchers have now taken ginger-water to reveal the true facts of the river below this river. At some point, all the information may be available - but for how long, no one knows his exact address.
