no. a whirlpool is made up of currents and when a vortex (whirlpool's scientific name) reaches shallow water the currents will then release breaking down the vortex.

What happens when waves go from deep water to shallow water?

When a wave goes from deep water to shallow water, it decreases in size and strength. This is because shallow water does not have the required power to transmit the wave, and so its velocity decreases.


What makes whirlpools spin?

Whirlpools spin due to the rotation of water caused by opposing currents or eddies. This creates a circular motion as the water moves around a central point due to the conservation of angular momentum. Factors such as the shape of the basin and the velocity of the water can influence the speed and size of the whirlpool.


Why do desert plants have shallow roots?

Desert plants have shallow roots to maximize water absorption during infrequent rainfall events. Shallow roots allow them to quickly capture and store water near the surface before it evaporates in the harsh desert environment. Additionally, shallow roots help desert plants access nutrients that are more abundant in the topsoil layers.


Why does photosynthesis occur deep in the ocean?

The water refracts the sun's rays and the sun reaches the shallow ocean floors to enable photosynthesis. This happens so often because water reflects light and the rays go through the water, much like how you get more tan by being in the water than lying out on a towel.


What are black holes in the universe?

Black Holes are regions of space where gravitational acceleration if so great , that not even light can escape from it. Since like cannot escape from it , but only go into it , it does not show any light, but appears as a Black Hole. Although light is an electro-magnetic wave, it exists as particles called PHOTONS. It is these photons that fall into Black Holes. Black Holes may be thought of as regions of gravitational whirlpools. Gravitational acceleration throughout the universe is NOT uniform. There are regions of very strong gravitational acceleration and other regions of very poor or no gravitational acceleration. This 'clash' of gravities creates gravitational whirlpools (Black Holes). Think of it like a stream of water going over a rock bed. There are points were the water does not move and points were the water moves quite violently, and this creates whirlpools in the stream. Gravity in the universe may do just the same.

Do killer whales live in deep or shallow waters?

no they do not live in shallow water because they are way to big.


How many people die from whirlpools?

Whirlpools are typically not a direct cause of death for people. While whirlpools can be dangerous in certain natural water bodies, such as rivers or oceans, fatalities are more likely to result from drowning or other water-related accidents rather than specifically from the whirlpool itself. It is important for individuals to exercise caution around whirlpools and fast-moving water to prevent accidents and ensure their safety.

What are Germany's current problems?

One problem in Germany is the lack of fresh underground water. Shallow aquifers and contaminants are the main reasons. Two of the many contaminants are acidic drugs and gadolinium (organic complexes) originate in the sewer, and go into fresh ground water, making the water contaminated and useless. The water can go through treatment plants and get filtered, but not all of the contaminants will go away. -Showkid97


Why is it harder to run in deep water as compared to shallow water?

The deeper you go, the more water there is, so it is pressing more on your legs, making it harder and harder to move.
