If You See The Ocean Is Read,

In 2011, a diving team ventured to the depths of the northern part of the Baltic Sea on a treasure hunt. Little did they know that they would stumble upon a mysterious object that would capture the attention and imagination of many. When they took photos of the object and shared them with others, some believed it to be a sunken spaceship from another civilization, while others attributed its formation to natural causes. However, the composition of the metals found inside the structure suggested that it couldn't have been formed naturally. Some scientists even theorized that it could have been an object trapped under ice since the Ice Age, possibly a meteorite of extraterrestrial origin.

A maelstrom, often referred to as a whirlpool, is a powerful rotational current that forms when two currents collide, creating a circular vortex. Even fearless Vikings feared maelstroms because they had the potential to sink large ships. These swirling forces remain hazardous even in modern times, though larger ships are generally capable of withstanding their power. However, a cruise ship caught in a maelstrom can still face massive waves that rock even the largest vessels from side to side with intense force. In some cases, a maelstrom can be so strong that it resembles an underwater black hole. Contrary to popular belief, black holes are not solely present in the depths of space but can also be found swirling in the Earth's oceans. These underwater black holes, similar to their cosmic counterparts, possess immense gravitational forces that trap anything within their reach. Due to their compact nature, even professionals find it challenging to discern their boundaries.

While exploring the coastal areas, one might have the opportunity to witness an optical phenomenon known as the green flash. This captivating event occurs shortly after sunset or just before sunrise when the sun is almost completely below the horizon, with only its upper rim visible for a brief moment. During this time, the upper edge of the sun appears green. The green flash is a result of the sun's light passing through the thicker portions of the atmosphere as it descends, causing refraction and dispersion. To observe this phenomenon better, clear days with no clouds or haze on the horizon are ideal.

Red waters in the ocean are a sight to be avoided. In Florida, red tides are a known occurrence caused by the higher concentration of specific microscopic algae. While the majority of algae species in marine and freshwater environments are harmless and even beneficial as a source of oxygen, certain types, like those responsible for red tides, can be extremely dangerous. These harmful algal blooms can produce neurotoxins that pose a threat to marine animals such as sea turtles, fish, and sea birds. Humans, especially those with respiratory issues, are also at risk and should avoid areas affected by red tides, especially when winds are strong enough to push the algae toward the shore.

Volcanoes are known for spewing poisonous gases, ash, and red-hot lava. Submarine volcanoes, located underwater, present their own unique set of challenges. When located in shallow waters, these volcanoes may reveal their presence by ejecting debris, rocks, and steam high above the surface. As submarine volcanoes are surrounded by an unlimited supply of water, their behavior differs from their terrestrial counterparts. When they erupt, seawater can enter the active vents, causing lava to spread across the shallow seafloor or flow into the sea. However, due to the rapid cooling effect of water, the lava can shatter into rubble and sand, leaving behind large amounts of volcanic debris. This is how the popular black sand beaches in Hawaii formed. Submarine volcanoes in deeper waters, although not erupting, can still be dangerous. They produce pockets of bubbles that reduce the density of the surrounding water, potentially causing ships to lose buoyancy and sink.
