Rogue Wave
A rogue wave is an unusually large and unexpected ocean wave that can be extremely dangerous. These waves can reach heights of over 60 feet and often appear suddenly, making them difficult to predict. They are typically caused by a combination of factors, including strong winds, ocean currents, and the interaction of multiple smaller waves.
Rogue waves can pose significant risks to ships and offshore structures, leading to potential damage or capsizing. Scientists study these phenomena to better understand their formation and improve safety measures for maritime activities. Research into rogue waves is ongoing, with advancements in technology aiding in detection and prediction efforts.
