This summer, you might think it’s safe to go in the water and enjoy a swim. But make sure to watch out for sharks! Even if they’re not biting humans right now (sharks prefer eating fish), this is only because there are more appetizing things available- like any human swimming nearby!
Watch as these tectonic plates glide across the seafloor, their movement revealing a hidden world of deep-sea creatures. At this point in time, they’re separating instead of converging which is amazing because that means divers can swim around without being brushed by moving plates!

We’ve been told to watch out for dolphins and great white sharks though!
Getting on a boat and falling overboard can be dangerous. Imagine you’re too excited, leaned over the edge of the boat, then went overboard!

You’ll either end up lost at sea or fish food unless someone throws an anchor down within seconds upon seeing that one person go missing from sight
