ocean hazards
1st Ocean Hazard: Tsunami
Tsunami is a high wave caused by earthquake and long landslides. There are many danger factors of tsunami such as the Burma plate. Burma plate is the India plate that caused undersea-earthquake. Another factor is ocean wave physics. Ocean wave physics displaces water to do moving plates. The seafloor topography determines the tsunami's power. Tsunamis can rise up to 25 feet or more. The tsunami can cause a lot of damage as in the video, where it came to shore. When it came to shore it washed away vehicles, people, and palm trees. The tsunami also caused people to lose many lives. Tsunami is a danger zone.
2nd Ocean Hazard: Rip Currents
Rip currents are another one of the most dangerous threats of the ocean. Rip currents are made by breakers cross sand bars off the shore. The water travels back to sea through the gaps in the sand bar, creating a rip current.
3rd Ocean Hazard: Poisonous Jelly Fishes
Box jelly fishes are very dangerous, because these jelly fishes are poisonous. The poison causes your blood pressure to rise and it gets to your head. Low shorelines launches tsunami with steep waves which stops the waves and brings more jelly fishes close to the shore. Another factor is that we have a shared habitat, where humans swim in Great Barrier Reef. Marine predators like the box jelly fish is one of the most deadliest predators. There are much more room for jelly fishes, because of the diminishing fishes. Lastly due to unnatural weather patterns, it causes there to be more jelly fishes. Jelly fishes area danger zone.
