Any small. Breakwaters is a new survival game with building, sailing, magic, monsters and moreAdventure through an ever-changing oceanic world that evolves the way you. This creates a large area of warm water, upwelling stops and so the supply of nutrients to the surface water is reduced. Stripers use current breaks as resting and feeding points, and there are plenty of them scattered along the Canal shoreline. Pressure gradients in the west and east Pacific are reversed, causing a reversal of winds direction and equatorial currents.
Warm-equatorial water is blown by abnormal winds from the west. The prevailing winds stop blowing normally.
These fish support a large fishing industry. Results in the water have high productivity, with large #s of anchovies and sardines feeding in the plankton rich water. This is accompanied by an upwelling of nutrients, caused by winds blowing from the south. Occurs in the southern Pacific Ocean.Ĭold water, rich in nutrients, flows in a northerly direction along the west coast of South America. Tsunamis: A long-wavelength wave produced by the sudden movement of a large volume of water, Can occur at a convergent boundary, In deep water the wave travels fast, but as it approaches the coast it slows down but forms a huge, destructive wave.Įl Nino. Earthquake: Occurs where there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, creating seismic waves, Can occur at convergent boundaries, Two plates are unable to slip past each other and may lock together, creating tension, When this tension is released it generates an earthquake. Volcanoes:įormed where there is an opening in the Earth's crust, Allows hot gas and magma to escape from beneath the surface, Can form where there is thinning of crust at tectonic plate boundaries, Most volcanic activity is submarine, This forms new seafloor at divergent boundaries and gives rise to mid-ocean ridges. Swim, sail, and fly to find new islands with unique resources. Abyssal Plains: Flat areas of the ocean floor, Situated in between ocean trenches and continental rises, Formed by the upwards movement of molten material, Arises as uneven rock that is covered with fine grained sediments. Adventure through an ever-changing oceanic world that evolves the way you interact with water. Hydrothermal Vents: Occur in the deep ocean, usually near mid-ocean ridges, Sea water seeps into cracks in the ocean floor and is released from the magma. Mid-Ocean Ridges: Underwater mountain ranges, Formed by the upward movement and spreading out of magma, which cools and solidifies as it emerges, Occurs at divergent boundaries, Responsible for seafloor spreading. Ocean Trenches: Formed along convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring, These are long, narrow and the deepest part of the ocean floor, Example, the Challenger Deep.
