What Is an Ocean Storm?

Due to the abnormal climate change, strange storms and sandstorms will occur on land. Whenever the storm comes, the sky will suddenly darken, and the sky will be suddenly covered with clouds. On the distant horizon, with the release of lightning, there will be a burst of thunder. At this time, the wind was rising, and the rainstorm poured down.

Undersea storm

Under the torrential storm and thunderstorms, flash floods and landslides will occur in the mountains.

People have found huge flowing waters at the depths of 300 to 1,000 meters in the Gulf of Mexico, which scientists call undersea storms. The general deep sea current has a flow rate of 0 02 m / s. When a submarine storm occurs, its moving speed will suddenly increase to 3 m / s. When an undersea storm strikes, a landscape similar to an onshore dust storm will also occur on the bottom. Where the submarine storm passes, whether it is reptiles, plants, reefs and submarine communication cables, measuring instruments are buried under the sediment.

Ian MacDonald, a professor at Texas A & M University, said the "undersea storm" was located about 10,000 feet deep in the ocean, and its discovery caught the attention of local oil and gas extractors.

"Submarine Storm" is a powerful ocean current that was discovered by several scientists during an undersea expedition. Scientists are studying the causes of storms because of the powerful flow of the seafloor storms that have formed trenches on the ocean floor.

At the edge of the continental shelf, the sea floor is 8,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level. Researchers have found that these large bodies of flowing water are 2,000 feet high and flow at speeds of 1 to 1.5 miles per hour.
