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. Starfish, fish and even algae are either cut or frozen solid when they are met with the brinicle.īecause the ocean and its condition are so intrinsically tied to the weather, certain phenomenon can only be seen during specific seasons. Brincles can be incredibly harmful and damaging to the oceanic life that it comes into contact with. 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.īecause 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. 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.
