how do whirpools form?

Question

i studied how depressions and anti-cyclone form and i only want to make sure if the same thing happens here but only its under water with sea currents instead of winds...am i right???

Answer 1

Almost any current that has a non-shoreline boundary
can form one. In the case of a river current flowing by an obstruction, the current sets up a Bernoulli force and drags water from the eddy away with it. However, this water must be replaced by other water from somewhere, which turns out to be the downstream end of the eddy. Thus the eddy current flows upstream, and creates the highly unstable eddy fence where it "rubs" against the main current. Put something between your hands while they are held flat; now move one hand away from you, and one hand towards you. The object will tend to rotate. If your hands represent the main and eddy currents, and the object the unstable water of the eddy fence, you can readily see how the latter can be set into rotation.

Answer 2

definite there are whirlpools interior the sea's. As to how they're formed it occurs while to currents going distinctive instructions collide forcing the water the two techniques. This pull at last consequences interior the around action of the water which all of us know as a whirlpool. As to how massive they get i doubt there are any as massive as interior the movies in spite of the indisputable fact that it somewhat is plausible.

Answer 3

Yes, the principle is the same.
