The WEIRDEST Deep Ocean Weather Explained 15 minutes

Think weather only happens in the sky? Think again. Deep beneath the surface lies a world of violent underwater storms, massive subterranean waterfalls, and a freezing "finger of death" that hunts creatures on the seafloor. In this video, we explore the most mind-blowing deep ocean weather phenomena that scientists are only just beginning to understand. From the terrifying science of Brinicles and massive ocean Maelstroms to the mysterious glowing Milky Seas, the deep ocean behaves much more like our atmosphere than you’d ever expect. Discover how underwater topography creates Benthic Storms miles below the surface, how Mesoscale Eddies move half the ocean's heat, and how the Denmark Strait Cataract, the largest waterfall on Earth, drives the planet's climate. Finally, we dive into the pitch-black world of Brine Lakes and Hydrothermal Vents to see how life thrives without a single drop of sunlight.
