Unleashing the Power of the Ocean: Episode 1 Part 3

The ocean's physical power profoundly influences the weather and generates storms.

The great waves are dramatic demonstrations of the ocean's power.

Waves originate far out at sea.

🌊 Ocean swells can become gigantic in the open ocean.

🏝️ When ocean swells reach shallow water, they start to break.

⚓ The bottom of the swell is slowed by contact with the seabed.

🌊 The ocean is constantly in motion due to massive currents like the Gulf Stream.

🌍 These currents play a crucial role in determining the distribution of nutrients and life in the seas.

🌊 The movement of waves and the breaking of swells contribute to the dynamic nature of the ocean.
