Video: Deep Waves

Let’s discover the deep waves in the oceans and contemplate the Qur’anic sign through this video …

Deep ocean waves discovered by scientists…

British scientists have discovered waves that flow deep in the Pacific Ocean. Using ocean-going robots they detected the waves flowing eastwards almost a mile deep.

The waves – known as Kelvin waves – are much larger, longer and slower than waves seen at the beach and are triggered by changes in the weather patterns above the tropical ocean.
They were known to occur on or near the ocean’s surface but the scientists were surprised to find them in the deep ocean.
Prof Karen Heywood, an oceanographer at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and co-author of the research, said: “We were both surprised and delighted.
“We expected to find something at about 50m because satellite imagery indicated it was there but we were really excited when we got a result at 1,500 metres. It opens up the possibility that there may be more waves even deeper down.”
