The "neck" is where the flow is most rapid. When the water in the rip current reaches outside of the lines of breaking waves, the flow disperses sideways, loses power, and dissipates in what is known as the "head" of the rip. Rip currents can form by the coasts of oceans, seas, and large lakes, whenever there are waves of sufficient energy.
Cold shock response is a series of neurogenic cardio-respiratory responses caused by sudden immersion in cold water.. In cold water immersions, such as by falling through thin ice, cold shock response is perhaps the most common cause of death. [1]
Ice shoves can be caused by temperature fluctuations, wind action, or changing water levels [3] and can cause devastation to coastal Arctic communities. Cyclical climate change will also play a role in the formation and frequency of ice shove events; a rise in global temperatures leads to more open water to facilitate ice movement.
They are mostly visible by a depth of 140 meters, except for the Arctic and Antarctic regions, where the shelves are deeper. The mid-ocean ridges start to appear at a depth of 2000 to 3000 meters. By 6000 meters, most of the ocean is drained except for the deep ocean trenches, the deepest of which is the Marianas Trench at a depth of 10,911 meters.
