OCEAN HAZARD
- These share habitat , they have marine predators , and unusual weather patterns which causes more able to have tragedies .
- Some of the amazing and incredible animals living in those coral are jellyfish .
- The tentacles of jellyfish are really poisonous that can kill everything they touch.
- Tiny transparent jellyfish is pushed up to the surface being the most powerful poisoned jellyfish that can kill completly everything after 30 minutes of they attack . these jellyfish are called irukandji
Rip Currents
- A rip current is a force that drowns people when they are in it
- No matter how professional you can be, everyone is helpless to a rip current
- When you are in one, you don't really notice it until you try to swim back to shore and you notice you can't.
- When you notice it you use all of your might and energy to swim back, then you tire out and start sinking to the bottom, only hoping someone see's you and helps you.
- A rip current starts in shallow water, scientists call it ''Surf Zone Physics''
- Next is ''Underwater Topography''
- This next step is when waves find paths of deeper spots where waves break less
- The deeper the channel the faster the current and the harder to get out of
- When in a rip current, swim sideways, away from the rip current
Tsunami
- A tsunami is a deadly wave that can grow up to 50 feet and has speed faster than jets
- It can swipe everything in it's path with no mercy
- The deeper the ocean, the faster the wave
- In 2004 a tsunami happened
- It started when a undersea earthquake happened in Puckett
- The Burma and Indian plate crashed with so much pressure it snapped
- The plates went up 750 miles far and up 30 feet
- "Ocean Wave Physics" is next
- The it's the ''Sea Floor Topography" after- that is the shape of the ocean floor
