Where two oceans meet, debunked
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- Cape Reinga, at the very northern tip of New Zealand, is known for being where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean, where two oceans collide. The truth, though, is a little more complicated than that.

I always thought that "two oceans meeting" sounded weird, since the earth really only has one ocean that we have just artificially divided with invisible borders.
Different oceans do have somewhat different water constituents right?
@@johnromanas They probably do, but I doubt it's divided the same way we've divided them with names.
It’s not quite artificially divided, yes it all mixes at some point but sometimes the criteria to assign an entity to a mass of water is geographical/physical (currents of water with different temperature, salinity, etc.), and other times it is more political (like with Mediterranean or Adriatic). There are definitely differences and lines that can be drawn between the oceans because while there is one world ocean, it is not the same across the globe
@@madabouthollyoaks411 You seem to know a lot about this. Do you know if they have different constituents on different tectonic plates or if it's more reliant on the currents?
Gamerdrengen took some classes in college haha I just really enjoy the topic. It’s a mixture of a lot of things, less to do with the tectonic plate they flow over than salinity, which influences density, wind, which is affected by the rotation of the earth on its axis and the continental plate it blows over, which in turn causes surface circulation, which acts with and against deep ocean circulation. Hope that makes sense, basically it’s a variety of factors that bleed into each other in a cycle, but you could say that the earth’s orbit on its axis and its orbit around the sun are some major influencers
You have crushed my dreams about a myth that I didn't know existed until 3 minutes ago.
Even if it's not two seas colliding it still looks amazing on a good day.

In South Africa u can see the phenomena of two oceans meet
My brother used to live in the Dominican republic and we've gone to a couple different beach towns there, specifically one at juandolio, one near la Romana. These towns are maybe 30 miles apart, but one is on the Caribbean and one is on the Atlantic the water has different temperature, clarity salinity. You can tell in the way the water foams when the waves break, how high you float when you lay on your back. Very different beaches and but only one province over
That’s a good observation. Oceans don’t collide in a frothing inferno because the currents are oblivious to the lines drawn by humans. They do, however, have different characteristics, and mix in large areas. 30 miles should be more than sufficient to notice the characteristics of the Caribbean waters vs the Atlantic Ocean.
From the D.R., hope you liked our country and that you visit again soon :) Viva Quisqueya
I’m from the DR. Juan Dolio and La Romana are both on the Caribbean side of the country, dude.
Aaaaaand? It still doesn't look like that when they meet.

I never once in my life even considered the idea that the 2 oceans were visually different, or their meeting point would be visible.
You can see it though in Cape Town when indian and Atlantic but it’s not very dramatic
Actually, you can see 2 rivers crossing in Brazil, if you search, its just like the image he showed
You can actually see the difference if you view the ocean from something like google earth. How do you think birds can fly the distance over oceans without water?
@@ebenezermbizvo9845no, simply no. Did you even watch this video? 😂 Oceans are huge, they might have different characteristics at different regions, but the mixing is gradual and happens over an extremely large area. So you can't see anything really at those "hypothetical boundaries", it's not like right after the boundary suddenly it's a different ocean with waves propagating different side. Even thinking that exists is unbelievably stupid thing...
You missed a perfect opportunity.

I always figured there was really just one ocean. Humans only named the various areas. Much like the land as well.
I've always just assumed oceans are made up, there's one ocean since it's all connected. Names for different areas of water are just to make it easier for us to be a bit more... pacific.
I actually hear people.say "Be pacific." Seriously.
Some of them are well connected, some not. The Southern Ocean abuts the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific with no real boundary, but its opposite number, the Arctic Ocean is largely cut off - it is only joined to the Pacific by a small strait. The Pacific is largely cut off from the Atlantic, except for a section between Tierra del Fuego and the Antarctic Peninsula...
I SEA whatcha saying!
Anon B Still its one technically a single body of water people divided so it would be easier to understand. Just like most things in nature.
@@anonb4632 the arctic isn't "only joined to the Pacific by a small strait" you have the whole Atlantic that flows into it as well and that section between Tierra del Fuego and the Antarctic Peninsula is at least 1000 km wide
So there are actual rivers flowing through the ocean. That's actually cool in and of itself.
@DONT Ok
Rivers need the flow to the ocean
@@lucythemotherofathests1465not necessarily, endorheic basins have no exit so all water will flow doen to the lowest point, The Great Salt Lake in Utah is an example of the resulting lake at the bottom of an endorheic basin. (Called an endoheic lake)

Well I’ve just been to “Skagen” in Denmark - and you can clearly watch the difference between waves on the west side and east side when standing on the tip. They are much more violent on the west side. You can also clearly see the waves collide at the tip :)
He's saying that because some old book says it's over there, it's debunked. ... I don't think old chronicles are used for such records.
That would be really cool, but it might have been because the waves on one side of the peninsular had a different fetch length to the waves on the other. This would cause different wave sizes. I'm no geography expert, but it seems to me that this phenomenon wasn't due to an arbitrary line, rather different conditions which were directly caused by the fact that 'Skagen' is a peninsula. Hope this helps :)

Tell Tom that there is no Pacific ocean there, it's Indian and Atlantic
My exact feelings earlier this year when I went to Cap Spartel in Morocco, supposedly the border between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Maybe there’s a specific point where the plates meet and you could consider such distinctions from that point of view, but for the people selling stuff outside the museum or taking pictures in the signpost, it’s just local mythology.
Scientifically, because of the difference in the salinity and densities of these two water bodies, a surface tension developed between them that acts like a thin wall which prevents them from mixing. If you see the oceans from the airplane, it is visible.

That wee “but no” at 0:28 is pure Jonathan Frakes. We gotta get Tom a primetime TV spot.
I was in Skagen, Denmark once, where two bodies of water met (the north sea and the baltic sea). It was spectacular and it really looked like two sperate bodies colliding in the middle
The oceans that meet off Skagen are Skagerak (part of the North Sea) and Kattegat. The Baltic Sea is at the other end of Denmark, and you'd have to pass through either Lillebælt (the pass between Jutland and Funen), Storebælt (between Funen and Sealand) or Øresund (between Sealand and Sweden) to get there.

I mean... I can say the same thing about land....
The day I was at Cape Reinga there was a strong color line, virtually straight, with dark grey on the Tasman Sea side and a blue/green on the Pacific Ocean side. It made the myth seem so very believable, considering the Tasman’s foul reputation, and the perception of the ‘pacificness’ of the Pacific. Curious how the local conditions would produce such a distinct color difference. I must point out that I have also sailed around here on a liner some years later, and there was no color difference that day.
I just googled ‘Cape Reinga Pacific meets Tasman’ and there are lots of photographs of a straight line with a color difference in the water, although most seem to be the opposite to what I saw, with blue on the Tasman side and darker, more grey color on the Pacific side. It makes me wonder if there is sand on the seafloor one side, and rock on the other, or perhaps an edge where the water gets a lot deeper the other side of the line. The waves breaking indicate currents meeting which could account for differences in deposition of sand or differences in water clarity, temperature, etc that could lead to color differences.
When I was a kid I went to the tip of Africa in cape town south Africa, I remember seeing the divide in a picture book before going and was disappointed to see that it wasn't so in real life, the tour guide however, informed us that it may be the weather that decides if the line is visible or not, "sometimes you see it sometimes you don't" he said
@@mikielgrato5705 It is not surprising that there would be different ocean currents on two different coasts, and that alone can cause weather differences each side, and again, different weather causing different surface conditions and water clarity leading to different visual conditions on different days. One thing is certain - there is no line in the water that delineates any kind of boundary drawn on a map.
@@mikielgrato5705 being someone who grew up in S.A cape town. Myths are good for tourism. "The weather determines whether you see it or not" is the evidence you need to realise that it's the weather that causes sedament to stir up and gives the ocean the visuals of there being a line in the ocean.
*did you know you can see the flying dutchman from the cape coast too*
Doesn't make it real.
I saw the divide when i was there
I love how Tom is the only person to make a really unsatisfying answer be a really satisfying end to a video
In my local river you can easily see the division between the incoming saltwater and the outgoing freshwater. Here it's not so much sediment (unlike say the Mississippi River) as it is the tannic acid in the water naturally given off by decay vegetation. Particularly common on rivers with lots of trees, especially cypress or mangroves.
The turbulent water behind you appears to be what us nautical types refer to as a "tidal race". You often get them off points of land where the tidal flow is disturbed and can also be made worse by wind, causing what is known as a "confused sea" where you get choppy waves travelling in different directions.
I found a depth map of this area a few years ago, as I was also trying to debunk the whole “two oceans meeting” thing. There’s a shallow area right where all the waves are breaking.
Most of the times I’m not sure if Tom uses green background, or not.
same tbh
Been watching quite a bit of Tom Scott recently, and as a Kiwi felt so excited to see New Zealand unexpectedly show up!
In Denmark, at the tip of "Skagen" (the northern most region of the Jutland peninsula), it is said that the two seas, the Kattegat and Skagerrak, collide. If you look at pictures from high above the area, there are clearly two distinctly different coloured oceans, demarcated by the white line that the two colliding set of waves form, which makes me wonder what you'd say about that, and whether or not those are actually two seas colliding or not.
And the sea plus currents around Grenen, the utmost tip, can be quite rough at times, so it's better to go further out when it's windy. BTW, it's a really nice area to visit. Hope to sail there this summer. /Nabo fra Gøteborg
I really enjoy every minutes of your videos . You always talk about interesting subjects that are often unknown by most of us .
When I went to the Cape of Good Hope near Cape Town, South Africa I saw exactly what those photos showed and you could see a linemof two different colors
Have you ever been to the the very northern tip of Jutland in Denmark? Amazing place! It's a place where the Baltic and the North Sea meet. You can walk out onto the sand and stick one foot in each sea. The waves are usually crashing into each from opposite directions too. Very cool to see.
no :(
Did you listen to anything he said in the video?
I’m more amazed how you got shots without a bunch of tourists
There is software to do this merging many stills to show all the background and no crowd.
@@vernbaa When I went there it was so busy that there wouldn't have been a chance but maybe there is less tourism in certain parts of the year.
I've seen this separation of water masses in many places in the oceans. Just different water masses. Colour, transparency, a little foam separating them. It's nice.
Came with Cape Point in Cape Town, "meeting of the Indian & Atlantic Oceans", but it's actually Cape Agulhas
> Cape Point is where the Atlantic- & Indian-Ocean meets.
> Cape Agulhas is the Southernmost part of Africa *(but not the spot where the 2 oceans meet)*
> Both Cape Agulhas & Cape Point are places that fall within the borders of the Western Cape Province.
Cape Point in South Africa is where the extremely cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Cold Benguella Current off the west coast meeting the warm Mozambiquen Current off the east coast.
I desperately want more Behind the Scenes stuff.. I miss the Park Bench damn it..

You can also see this in Skagen, Denmark. Here the Baltic sea and North sea meet.
Not the Baltic Sea, but kattegat and the North Sea***
Elming More exactly, Skagerrak and Kattegatt
Those are not seas they are adjacent seas. And actually there is no things as 2 seas since all the seas are connected and all to the ocean, and there's no thing as multiple oceans either since all the water is just a gigantic ocean except lakes, ponds etc.
Zapid according to you there is no such thing as countries since they are connected together in a continent which also isn’t a thing since Asia Africa and Europe are connected together except America and Australia
MightyGlory thats not the same thing dummy. Realisticaly, theres not but since humans fought over the land and made the ”borders” itself we have countries. Still not the same thing whatsoever
Only Tom Scott travels half way around the world for a 3 minute RUclips video
One really cool phenomenon that occurs in some underground river and aquifers that is essentially where "two different bodies of water meet" is when salt water leeches into the aquifer and cave divers swim through what looks like water swirling in whiskey back into Crystal clear water
Those waves to me look like waves breaking on a reef or shoal, not confused currents. You can see the lighter water where the shallower water is.
Yes, the water is pressed up from the bottom in a swirl motion which goes opposite the waves. Then the water comes to the surface, you get a zero water velocity zone, which appear flat.
A single scull starts to swirl the stern then you row past a point, there the lake depth goes from 8-10 m to say 3-4 meters, and the wind is vertical or has an angle to the under water structure. The water looks nice and flat. But it is not.

Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
Do people not realize those are just names we gave them? They’re not two separate things.
Well technically one has a higher salt content so it kinda is separate. It’s all one body of ocean but it’s definitely divided
This video felt so much longer than it really was.
I wish I got to meet you when you were here. I've seen Cape Rianga with the seas meeting and it was two totally different shades of green, one more brown with a big line heading out in the ocean as far as I could see. You got it on a bad day.
You need to travel to the bottom of western Australia where the India and southern oceans come together.
I've been there and seen the definite visible difference between the two.
1:18 - you said it is 1M m^3 moving 1m/s
but that would be 1M m^4.s^-1
you wrote correctly, it is 1M m^3.s^-1 - as it is one million cubit meters per second; or you can imagine it as plate 1km wide and 1km deep moving at speed of 1m/s
Thank you! So a sheet of area 1 million *square* metres moving at 1 metre per second. (Or anything that multiplies up to that.)
Same as Cape Point, South Africa. Actual meeting point of the Atlantic & Indian is at Cape Agulhas, many kms away. But Cape Point is more convenient and tourist friendly!
You want to really really boggle people's minds, figure out how large a volume of solar wind it would take to equate to a sverdrup.
If you want to see where to oceans really meet, you should go to the most northern part of Jutland in Denmark. You can actually see the waves colliding
The same is said about the Atlantic meeting the Indian Ocean at Cape Point, South Africa. Sending love to you Tom, from South Africa 🇿🇦
Different oceans are just boundaries arbitrarily drawn by humans through associations with land masses, without any account for the ocean current or mixing
The biggest surprise here for me is that the Tasman Sea is not part of the Pacific
Hey Tom Scott, there's a place called Dhanushkodi ( also know as Ghost Town) in rameshwaram in TN. Here the Bay of Bengal meets the Indian Ocean and it's a picturesque to witness. The waters of Bay of Bengal are quite calm and those of Indian Ocean are very turbulent. I guess you should witness it.

I was sailing in Denmark once and was at the tip of Denmark where the baltic and north sea (idk what its called in english) meet. The waves of both collieded with each other, resulting in high splashes :D also they had different colors

Quran 55:19-21 (Surah ar-Rahman) “He released the two seas; meeting side by side. Between them is a barrier; neither of them can transgress. Then which is it, of the favors of your Lord, that ye deny?”
When something sounds too simple, I have instant alarm bells in my head going "The universe is _probably_ much more complicated".
The same thing happens in the Mediterranean sea off Barbate lighthouse Cadiz Spain. A very visible line.
You need to go to South Africa. You will see two oceans meeting. Because they do.

Well you guys should visit the southern most point of India at Rameshwaram. You can see three oceans meeting together. Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. All three different colours and can clearly them with distinct lines.
makes sense, two types of sediment water and one ocean, might not be as clear as the gulf of alaska due to the sheer distance, once again though it is because of rivers and not oceans.
@@alexandergalitevstudentfvh8696indians genuinely don't understand how water works. It's not their fault, their government tells them rivers are literally magic
This is a very interesting video. I say this because I've always heard that the fishing in Morocco is really good because the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. Is this yet another myth? Could whatever is "good" about the fishing be the result of something else?
In South Africa, you really CAN tell the difference between the Atlantic ocean on the west coast and the Indian ocean on the east. The Indian ocean is warmer and you can swim without a wetsuit, the Atlantic... freezing cold. Even during summer.
The Pacific and the Atlantic do not have different salinity or colour, so when seas “meet” it’s just a human defining the set out boundary of a named sea with another named sea. (Fresh water meeting sea water can have a very noticeable effect, or very strong saline “lakes” at the bottom of some oceans where the ocean above does not mix with very concentrated salty “lake” at the sea floor). But “oceans meeting” is just a phrase that sets out a geographical boundary, not a physical junction of the same mass of sea that covers the whole planet).
you should go to cape town ,cape point is where you'll actually see where the Indian and Atlantic Ocean meet but don't meet .it is really fascinating. the reason they don't mix is because of the difference in water density , temperature and salinity of the glacial melt water making it difficult to mix . same with the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.
Next video is gonna be debunking this now 😉
I highly doubt it
2:28 Thank god there's a sign there so I know where I'm going
The northernmost tip of Denmark where Kattegatt and Skagerrak meet has exactly that pattern. Two wavesystems clashing into each other. There you can see exactly how waves from the two watersystems meet and collide from two different directions. I recommend a visit to Skagen!!
New Zealand's tourism ministry might have sued him after this
What about the Cape of Good Hope? That's where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet
Avery Lopez-Baines Cape Agulhas to be precise.
Cape of Good Hope is the old name for the Province that is now commonly known as the Western Cape.
> Cape Point is where the Atlantic- & Indian-Ocean meets.
> Cape Agulhas is the Southernmost part of Africa *(but not the spot where the 2 oceans meet)*
> Both Cape Agulhas & Cape Point are places that fall within the borders of the Western Cape Province.
