As mammals, dolphins and whales need to breathe with their lungs like you. Their blowhole is like your nostril. Unlike you, they are able to hold their breath for a really long time. While underwater, they'd been saving up a bunch of carbon dioxide and snot and essentially "blow their nose" as they come to the surface before taking that next deep breath. The "fountain" you see is mostly the water from above the blowhole as well as some of that mucus, propelled by their exhalation of air and carbon dioxide.

Why does the hovercrart skirt needs to be flexible?

The hovercraft skirt needs to be flexible to effectively conform to varying surface contours and maintain an airtight seal, which is essential for generating lift. Flexibility allows the skirt to adapt to uneven terrains, preventing air leaks that could compromise hovercraft performance. Additionally, a flexible skirt absorbs impacts and minimizes wear, enhancing durability and operational efficiency.


Can hovercrafts fly over water?

Hovercrafts float above a bubble of air formed between the skirt of the hover craft and the surface it is floating over. As long as the surface does not allow the air pressure used to form the bubble to escape from under the hovercraft too quickly it will float over any surface whether it be water, land, or cobblestones. For example it could not float over a drainage grate or with its skirt severely punctured.
