Fog Tsunami At a first sight, these appears to be giant tsunami headed towards us. But this is a strange phenomenon caused during the late spring or early summer. When the warm water condensates with the cool ocean water causing a massive amount of fog. 2. Waterspout A waterspout is a spinning column of air and mist that develops on lakes, rivers and sea. They fall into 2 categories: fine weather and tornadic. Fine weather spouts are formed on the surface of the water and works its way upward. While tornadic thunderstorms are more dangerous which are formed on the water and accompanied with high tides, large hail and severe lightning. 3. Ma...

Like geysers and hot springs on land, hydrothermal vent acts as a system to transport chemicals and heat from the interior of the earth. This stunning discovery has made in 1977 while scientists have been exploring the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.  Hydrothermal vents are formed in areas with high tectonic activity, including the edges of tectonic plates, undersea mountain ranges, and seamounts, and mid-ocean ridges. Where they emit hot, mineral-rich fluids from beneath the seafloor. The water escaping from these vents are characterized by different physical and chemical factors, which include minerals, temperatures, and flow levels of their plumes. The low and high concentrations of minerals are referred to as white and black smokers. Hydrothermal fluid temperatures can reach up to 400 °C or more, but they do not boil due to high pressures at the deep ocean. Despite the extreme temperatures and pressures where these vents occur are completely dark and photosynthesis is impossible. ...

Flamingo tongue is a marine gastropod mollusk that lives on the coral reefs in the Caribbean and the Tropical Western Atlantic. This miniature is very colorful with bright pink or orange coloration with black spots and can grow between 2 to 3 cm in size. Specialized in eating soft corals and is typically found on sea whips, sea fans, and sea plumes. They slowly crawl on the bodies of their prey and eat, leaving only the skeleton behind.  Gorgonian coral is a soft coral that contains a toxic chemical. While feeding on these corals, they do not suffer any harm. Instead, they incorporate this toxic material as a secondary chemical and become toxic themselves. As a result, the predator has a distasteful experience when they try to feed on these snails. These bright colors present on the Flamingo tongue serves as a warning to the predators, which is known as aposematism. Flamingo tongue reproduces through internal fertilization - where the female lays the eggs on the soft corals where s...

Squalene, natural oil that is being harvested from sharks is being used in the Covid-19 vaccine. This ingredient is used as an adjuvant in medicine which increases the effectiveness of a vaccine by increasing the immune response. In order to immunize everyone in the world with two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine containing squalene, would require around half a million sharks, a shark group said. Around 3,000 sharks are needed to extract one tonne of squalene. According to the Shark Allies, species targeted for being rich in squalene include the gulper shark and the basking shark, which are classed as vulnerable, meaning that their populations are decreasing and they could become endangered if the circumstances threatening them continue. The advocacy group has said that harvesting an endangered specie for a component in the medicine is not sustainable. “Harvesting something from a wild animal is never going to be sustainable, especially if it's a top predator that doesn't reproduc...
