Compare And Contrast Rogue Waves
Imagine a huge towering tsunami. Focus on all the details. Now imagine a rogue wave, or at least what you think a rogue wave is. Do the same thing. Do you see any similarities...any differences ? While you may think there are no similarities, or no differences, you will find that there are some of both, in the ways that they are formed, where they happen, and how to predict them.
According to source one, “rogue waves seem especially likely to occur in places in the ocean where currents collide”. After they collide, a huge wall of water can form and it can make a rogue wave. This is just one of the many ways scientists think that these large waves can happen, because so little is known about them. On the other hand, we know a lot more about tsunamis, and long story short, they are caused by earthquakes. In the second passage, it says “Earths movement during the quake triggers the reaction”. So as you can see, Rogue waves and tsunamis are caused by different forces. …show more content…
Most scientists find that rogue waves occur in areas where they are very hard to study. Most people have heard of the infamous “Bermuda Triangle” . Some scientists believe that rogue waves occur in this area, and passage one states that two major currents flow directly through it. Maybe rogue waves are responsible, but for now, it’s just a mystery. On the contrary, scientists do know where tsunamis occur. Passage two states “ tsunamis are most likely to occur on lands surrounding the pacific ocean”. This area can also be known as the “Ring of
