What is the biggest factor that affects shipwrecks in the ocean?

Typhoon, swell, glacier and offshore temperate high pressure are the most influential factors in the ocean.

The first factor is that typhoons or hurricanes with huge energy are meteorological systems that ships must consider, whether they are driving in the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean. They have a wide range of influence, and the central wind often reaches more than 12, which poses a great threat to the safety of ships.

The second factor is to consider the surge that may be caused by various bad weather at the same time. Surge is a wave from other sea areas. When a strong wind blows in the same direction for a long time in a certain sea area, the waves will spread outward with the wind direction, disturbing another originally calm sea area. Surge can be said to be a "sequela" after bad weather.

The third factor is that when a ship encounters a glacier, cracks will appear in the bottom of the ship due to collision. At this time, water will enter the ship from the crack. If not remedied in time, people may sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship, and there is no life at all. Therefore, glaciers are also a great safety hazard for maritime navigation.

The fourth factor is that under the control of offshore temperate high pressure, sunny weather usually occurs. However, once they are combined with the low-pressure system in the nearby sea area, a large pressure difference will be formed, and it is difficult to avoid strong winds and waves. At this time, if you don't pay attention to the situation on board, it will easily lead to danger and shipwreck.

To sum up, there are four main factors that affect shipwrecks, which can be summarized as the influence of bad weather. Now that we know that the consequences caused by bad weather are so serious, we hope that our country can collect meteorological data at sea, and at the same time, use such data for maritime transportation and communication. Minimize disasters and losses and improve the efficiency of maritime navigation.
