The beginning of June marks the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, the six-month period when strong storms can brew in ...

As the climate warms, hurricanes are becoming more intense, and sea levels are rising. Both of these effects are likely to ...

The Titanic is a whopping 2 and a half miles beneath the surface — far too deep for a human to survive the pressure if not in an equipped vessel. Still, there are other parts of the ocean that ...

Record-high ocean temperatures are setting the stage for an active Atlantic hurricane season with explosive tropical development, but just one thing is missing: storms. There have been no tropical ...

If the Titan has become stranded at lower depths, one of the greatest dangers it faces is increasing water pressure as the ocean gets deeper. Everything on Earth’s surface experiences some ...

The authors suggest the spatial pore fluid pressure variations to be related to oceanic water accumulated in an altered oceanic fracture zone within the Pacific oceanic plate. Upon subduction of ...

This global water pressure works against Earth's gravity to form two bulges: the high tides. "The ocean isn't being lifted or stretched," Perez-Giz says. "The ocean is bulging along the Earth-moon ...

And deep-water ctenophores are a particularly dramatic case: Their lipids form especially exaggerated cone shapes. With the pressure of miles of ocean above them, these cell walls are held in a ...
