Located on the Canadian Atlantic coast, between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Bay of Fundy is approximately 270 kilometers long and has an average...
Water boils when its vapor pressure (the pressure exerted by evaporating molecules) reaches the ambient atmospheric pressure. At sea level, this atmospheric pressure is about...
Underwater, sound travels faster than in air, reaching about 1500 m/s, which is more than 4 times the speed of sound in air (about 340...
In its chemical composition, saltwater mainly contains sodium chloride, better known as table salt. But it also contains other dissolved minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and...
Great terrestrial canyons, like underwater ones, often originate from fairly similar phenomena: primarily erosion. To put it simply, the runoff of water gradually carves out...
Waves mainly come from the wind, quite simply. When the wind blows over the surface of the water, it transfers energy to the molecules, creating...

The white light of the sun contains all the colors of the visible spectrum. When it enters the water, each color reacts differently. Some colors...
When tsunamis move across the open sea, they go unnoticed, with waves only a few dozen centimeters high, but beneath the surface, they carry a...
The Moon attracts the oceans thanks to its gravitational pull. Since water is fluid, it easily responds to this force, thus creating a sort of...
