Nov 1 2024 - Ocean Blobs

 

The news today tells us there are things besides waterfalls and rivers under the surface of our seas.  There are "blobs".  They stretch thousands of miles - scientists have found one in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.  it extends from the tip of Brazil to the Gulf of Guinea. Its name is the Atlantic equatorial water. 

Would there be rivers, waterfalls and blogs in Lake Ontario?  It is deep with a maximum depth of 802 feet and average of 283.  But finding out about rivers and waterfalls below Lake Ontario doesn't seem to be a top priority on the internet. I would likely need to contact the experts.  

Could the Niagara River have such water formations?  The depth of the water below the falls is the same height as the falls - 170 feet.  And the depth of the Niagara River gorge is 300 feet deep and 7 miles long.  The depth at the Whirlpool is 125 feet.  

There is a "ledge" in the Whirlpool - a rock formation. But finding out about the ledge is difficult.  I've been told that retrieving bodies at the Whirlpool Rapids (that's where everything ends up) can be difficult as things lodge under the ledge.  So I wondered if there could be a waterfall at the Whirlpool Rapids.  I wonder if there can be rivers within the river with such depth. 

There aren't any articles on water formations below the River.  It may be there are none, or that these are highly technical sorts of articles.

So while I haven't found anything out about rivers below the river, it has been a journey into curiosity.  And I did find this amazing aerial view. 

Isn't this aerial view stunning?  Look ag the ledges all along the way.  And there's another Victoria Harbour picture - such a contrast.
