What is Whirlpool?
Whirlpool is a rotating stream of water that creates a characteristic vortex. Many myths and Legends of the Sea contained Whirlpools, usually in situations involving a great danger to transport, and there are a number of famous whirlpools around the world that are created consistently and often. Especially strong whirlpool is known as Maelstrom; One of the more remarkable Maelstromes is Moskstraumen, an enormous network of whirlpools and whirlpools off the coast of Norway.
Several things can lead to the creation of a whirlpool. Most often, the whirlpools are caused by encounters of contradictory currents. When the currents are strong enough, they can start to wrap around and create a spiral of rapidly swirling waters. Whirlpools can also be caused by winds that can cause surface currents to switch direction, and consistent whirlpools are sometimes caused by geographical features that determine the flow of water currents in the area.
when the term "whirlpool", they usually visualize vortex vortex water, which is strong enough to swallow ships. In the factMost of the whirlpools are not strong enough to destroy the ships, and many of them appear almost invisible, while the currents in faith move below the surface of the water. In order for the ship to be damaged in faith, the flow must be particularly strong and the ship unusually small or poor.
Some remarkable whirlpools around the world can be found in places like Scotland, where Whirlpool, Corryvrekan, often develops Whirlpool, along with Japan, where visitors can see the famous Naruto Whirlpool. There are many smaller whirlpools on the coast of the world and occasionally appear in rivers, lakes and streams.
Because any change of current can affect navigation, many sailors like to avoid whirlpools, especially if they are in charge of small ships. While large ships can often pass through a whirlpool without a big problem, small ships can find themselves in a whirlpool, and could suffer damage or be thrown out of the course. The main recurring withE whirlpools are usually marked in navigation charts.
