Ocean Fun Fact

We get excited when lava flows from our volcanoes, but actually 90% of the volcanic activity that happens worldwide occurs underwater!

A tsunami is a giant wave generated when an earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption occurs under water. The wave can carry a large amount of energy. As this massive energy approaches shore, the wave grows higher and higher and can come very far inland. Always heed tsunami warnings and head to higher ground!

The Hōkūleʻa is a double hulled voyaging canoe built as a replica of the canoes that ancient Polynesians used to sail to Hawaiʻi. The Hōkūleʻa completed an amazing trip across the Pacific Ocean in 1976 without the use of modern instruments to and from Tahiti. Hōkūleʻa embarked on a trip around the world in June 2013 to share the importance of traditional knowledge, sustainability, and environmental conservation.

What’s the longest mountain range on Earth? Nope it’s not the Andes! The Mid-Ocean Ridge is a long connected series of underwater mountains that crisscross the globe like the seams on a baseball. This long mountain range is found in all of the world’s oceans and is made up of oceanic crust or rock that is 200 million years old.

Scientists expect sea levels to rise approximately 3 feet (1 m) in the next 100 years due to global warming. This is not only due to the melting of polar land ice, but also “thermal expansion”, in which water increases in volume as it warms.

Discovery of a whale fall in the deep sea

Published 2019-11-04

Photo: E/V Nautilus Recently, the Exploration Vessel Nautilus, operated by the Ocean Explorer Trust, discovered a community of organisms consuming a baleen whale carcass on the Davidson Seamount in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary at a depth of 3,240 m. Unlike many other discoveries of whale falls in the ocean, crew on the Nautilus found this relatively recent fall in a mid-stage of ecological succession, providing an exciting look into life in the deep sea. Whale falls are importance influxes of nutrients and energy to the deep sea. This pulse in food availability becomes... (more)
