Something mysterious, ominous, deep and dark, something no one has any way of adequately predicting. They sound like something incredibly scary our of a horrible sailor’s stories at sea. These waves usually occurs far from any land and are always of the colossal variety, they can reach up to 80 feet in height. There is something called a rogue wave that essentially sometimes forms almost out of thin air and gives no warning of its occurrence. Most of us can tell when a wave is starting to form, we can either hear or see certain signs that let us now that a wave is about to break. So not only can the sea create and sustain oceanic life, but it also goes through changes and creates literal art in many places that we just don’t see. They also release this salinity into the air wherever there are big clusters of these flowers in a certain part of the sea. ![]() These frost flowers are very high in salt content, which also lends itself to the crystalized appearance that they take on. ![]() The ice clusters will usually grow around 4 centimeters in diameter and often take on the shape of a flower. They usually only form in cold conditions, where very little wind blows. The frost flowers are usually found forming on young sea ice, in the colder seas. These delicate, lovely looking things are definitely a phenomenon that most people don’t even know exist. It is also reported that the wave can be heard almost 30 minutes before it arrives on land and has the power to destroy local houses, tress and different kinds of animals. The waves that are generated from this are up to 12 feet high. It is actually caused when the tide meets the mouth of the river. When this happens, it creates the longest wave on the Earth. Between the months of February and March, the Atlantic sea water cascades up the Amazon river, which is located in Brazil. Only twice a year can the longest wave on earth be seen. That is the case with this next phenomenon. ![]() Brazilian’s Longest Wave on Earthīecause the ocean and its condition are so intrinsically tied to the weather, certain phenomenon can only be seen during specific seasons. Starfish, fish and even algae are either cut or frozen solid when they are met with the brinicle. Brincles can be incredibly harmful and damaging to the oceanic life that it comes into contact with. Because of the low temperature that is required for these brinicles to form, they only occur in the frigid oceanic waters around the South and North poles. It’s formed when water rich in salt leaks out of sea ice, then it proceeds to sink into the sea and creates a unique ice type figure. When a brinicle is fully formed it looks almost like an angular crystal beneath water, it’s really beautiful. This specific phenomenon is really a vision. One of the most notorious occurrences of this phenomenon takes place every summer along the Florida Gulf Coast. Harmful algal blooms, which are colonies of different type of algae, can grow so exponentially, that they start producing toxic and harmful chemicals that are bad for marine mammals, fish, birds and people. However, its beauty should not be coveted too highly because what’s causing it is actually very dangerous. The strong and vivid colors of red and orange that lace the tides as they come in are rather spectacular to witness. This particular phenomenon has the ability to be visually stunning. Who would even want to go to the bottom of the middle of the ocean anyway? Seems like a scary place. There are urban legends that insist that a maelstrom will immediately lead you to the bottom of the ocean, but those are dismantled by scientists. The weather is something that is a huge determination of the force and strength of a maelstrom. It is essentially a powerful and vast whirlpool that has a downdraft that would quickly suck up whatever was in the immediate vicinity. Originally introduced to the world by author Edgar Allan Poe, the word maelstrom actually means “crushing current” which is very accurate. With a name like maelstrom, it’s hard to ignore the way that this phenomenon kind of warns us about it’s dangerous ways. Almost as if nature is decorating icebergs all on its own. So not all icebergs are big blobs of white or clear ice, some of them have an interesting flare and pop of color. This creates cool looking multicolored stripes along the surface of the iceberg. There is something that occurs called striped icebergs, certain Arctic blues and whites mend together and as the water melts and then refreezes and creates icebergs, things like dirt and other particles get caught in between the layers. This next interesting phenomenon deals with the cold, icy waters near Antarctica. ![]() Depending on which ocean and what part of the world it is in, the temperature and general characteristics of it will vary.
