Azure Window
The Azure Window (( マルタ語:Tieqa Żerqa)) is a Limestone natural arch on the Maltese island of Gozo. It is situated near Dwejra Bay on the Inland Sea. The formation, which was created after two limestone sea caves collapsed, is popular with scuba divers. ==Geology== The Azure Window is made of a Maltese limestone known as Globigerina. This is the second oldest rock found on the islands covering almost 70% of its area. The rock, which is subject to erosion, gives Malta its distinctive coast and interior. Thickness of the limestone ranges from near Fort Chambray on Gozo up to around Marsaxlokk on Malta. The high arch consists of yellow to pale-grey limestones comprising the remains of the marine organism globigerinid foraminifera.
