Publisher's Synopsis

Dive into the depths of the unknown with The Underwater Mystery, where Jin Tan leads the adventure! Imagine a world where the ocean holds incredible secrets-like waves you can't even see from the surface. Follow Jin as she unravels the fascinating science of internal waves, mysterious forces that can stop ships in their tracks, and even affect submarines. Travel back in time to learn about the strange "dead water" phenomenon, first experienced by real-life explorer Dr. Fridtjof Nansen. Explore how these invisible waves shape our climate, protect coral reefs, and present unexpected challenges to submarines!

Packed with mind-blowing facts, hands-on experiments you can try at home, and thrilling true stories, Jin guides you through a hidden world beneath the ocean's surface. Find out why the Arctic ice is melting faster, how waves can form and travel between layers of water without losing its identity, and what makes these mysterious waves so powerful. Ready to dive into an ocean full of hidden wonders? Join Jin Tan in The Underwater Mystery for an unforgettable adventure!
