Cross-line traces from the movement of ice, piles of ice.
A group of scientists headed by Norman Curinga decided to find out who has schertel the bottom of the Caspian sea cross-lines.
In the course of the study research officers saw a satellite image of the shallow water taken near the Seal Islands.
Curing, is a NASA oceanographer. It analyzes the images taken through satellite Landsat-8″. Previously the researcher had never seen the so-called “underwater” scars, which stretch for miles.
According to the theory of scientific staff, large pieces of ice carried by the wind across the sea. Then stocks began piling up on each other. The resulting stack could break through the bottom of the Caspian sea. Found that there were strong winds, resulting in ice was carried out by movement along the bottom. Thus propagules algae and sea grass.
After some time, Curing went back to studying the pictures again. then he noticed that during the winter, the region was covered by ice in the same places, where scientists have recorded traces. The researchers confirmed the researcher of Moscow state University Stanislav Ogorodov. He previously studied marine “scars” called washouts.
