Real Cities Lost Under The Waters Of The Earth

<h1>Real Cities Lost Under The Waters Of The Earth</h1>Author: <a title="Rachel Yoshida" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/rachel-yoshida/51062.htm">Rachel Yoshida</a> Our Earth is largely covered by water and there are things underneath parts of it that mankind has never thus far been able to lay our eyes on. Although sonar and other techniques have been discovered and used as ways to see some of what lies beneath our seas and other bodies of water, there are many depths that we have as yet been unable to reach.

Some of the most intriguing discoveries that have been made by mostly divers in the oceans around the world are remnants of man made structures that have been sunk by earthquakes, volcanoes, and flooding.

The possible locations of the city of Atlantis are as many as the different tales about what actually happened to the city if in fact it was a real place.

This is because of the layers under the surface of the ground. Scientists believe earthquakes take place on the moon as well as on the Earth. It is believed they have a much smaller impact, and are the result of tidal stress between the Earth and the moon.
