Seven Colored Earths, is a small area near the village of Tchamaral Chamarel in Mauritius Island, often excite curiosity geologists as well as being a major tourist attraction in Mauritius.
These consist of relatively small area (about 7500 square meters) of sand dunes in seven different colors (red, brown, purple, green, blue, purple and yellow, formed by the decomposition of volcanic rocks and mixing with water, which turned to mud and then to the rich soil responsible for the appearance of red iron and textured aluminum responsible for the appearance of blue color purple.
It is believed that the different shades of colors have emerged due to the fusion of volcanic rocks under different temperatures.
What distinguishes the sands of "Seven Coloured Earths" is being grouped in different layers, even if mixed together. It can be seen this strange phenomenon soon if one takes a bunch of different colored sands and Amzjha together discovers that the grains of sand one color consistent and did not separate from each other scientists did not find an explanation for this strange phenomenon after.
Another interesting feature in the land Tchamaral colored sand dunes, which are not reduced in size despite the rain Mauritius, tropical rains.
The region has become one of the most major tourist attractions in Mauritius since the sixties, where the visitors enjoyed the walk between the colored sand dunes when you visit the park, but today are protecting these dunes by a wooden fence, and allows visitors to walk by while they can enjoy the natural scenery picturesque and unique observation outposts along the fence, and keep tubes of colored dust that are sold in souvenir shops nearby for "land of the seven colors."
