Unlike continents whose land mass gradually sinks into the ocean with continental shelves that sit far offshore, land masses on top of submarine plateaus like Mascarene can drop off quite suddenly into the deep ocean. The geological quirk means that were you to go for a swim you might quickly find yourself bobbing above waters that stretch down for thousands of meters.

The extreme and uneven lay of the land in this region is the result of volcanic activity which gave rise to Mauritius around 8 million years ago. Being a volcanic hotspot, the plateau saw enormous underwater eruptions that spewed magma through the continental crust of Mauritia, and it was this magma that solidified to form the Mascarene Islands.
