In geography, the term "fusion" refers to the meeting place of two or more reservoirs. This may be a place of confluence of the flow into the main river or the place where two rivers meet, forming a river with a different name. In this post a dozen places before the confluence, and other water bodies from around the world, selected by the photos, which will be most obvious contrast to the two reservoirs.

A. The confluence of the rivers Rhone and Arve in Geneva , Switzerland . The river left - Ron, who comes from the Leman Lake. The river on the right - Arve, which feeds many glaciers of the Chamonix Valley and then flows to the northwest, flowing into the Rhone on the west side of Geneva, where she was a high content of silt creates such a contrast.

Two. The confluence of the rivers and Uelzen Inn in Passau, Germany . Uelzen - a relatively small mountain stream with blue water, and the Inn - a fairly large river flowing from Salzburg (top). At the river Inn, more water flow than in the Danube, and still follows the flow of the city, which is called in one word - the Danube. This photo was taken from the fortress above the town of Passau Oberhaus in Lower Bavaria, Germany. The city is also called the "City of Three Rivers."

Ohio River is tributary of the Mississippi River south of Cairo, Illinois - a small town on a strip of land at the confluence of the river (center). Brown, the full deposit of water flowing in the north-east of the Ohio River are very different from the green and the relatively clean waters of the Mississippi River (flowing from the north-west to south). The color of the rivers in this picture is different from the usual green and brown Ohio Mississippi. This suggests that the heavy rain in December 2005 in these areas has led to greater than normal levels of sediment in rivers. The waters do not mix, even after 5-6 miles downstream. (NASA)

Five. The confluence of the rivers and the Rio Negro near Manaus Solimoyns, Brazil . Rio Negro - a river with a dark (almost black), water, and Solimoyns - a river with a sand-colored waters. 6 km of water of two rivers flow side by side. This is one of the most famous sights of Manaus, Brazil. And all because of the difference in temperature, flow velocity and water density in the two rivers. Rio Negro flows at a rate of about 2 km per hour at 28 ° C, and Solimoyns - 4-6 miles per hour with a temperature of 22 ° C.
