Two healthy and pristine coral reefs have recently been discovered in the waters surrounding the Galápagos Islands. The largest of the detected reefs stretches for nearly 800 meters.
As oceans waves rise and fall, they apply forces to the sea floor below and generate seismic waves. These seismic waves are so powerful and widespread that they show up as a steady thrum on seismographs, the same instruments used to monitor and study earthquakes.
Sailors in the latest edition of The Ocean Race faced whipping winds, fluctuating temperatures, and some of the world’s most famously wild seas — and on one race leg, also collected samples for valuable findings about the spread of bacteria in Earth’s rapidly warming oceans.
