But with the tsunamis that head out to sea, some of the energy dissipates as the wave spreads outward across open ocean, like a ripple from a rock thrown into a pond.
但当海啸向海域进发，随着波浪向远洋扩散，能量也会逐渐消耗，这跟将一颗石块扔进池塘所引发的波纹是一样的道理。
When two waves of opposite direction but similar frequency collide, they create a special kind of pressure wave that carries energy to the ocean bottom.
当两方向相反但频率相似的波浪相撞时，会产生一种特殊类型的压力波，而这种压力波会把能量输送到海底。

At the very least, we know that storms move moisture and energy, and that they stir up the ocean, leaving cool water in their wake (see image above).
至少，我们知道风暴迁移了水气和能量，并且它们搅动大洋，把冷水留在尾流(见上图)。
Phytoplankton might be too small to see with the naked eye, but they are the foundations of the ocean food chain, ultimately capturing the energy that sustains the seas' great beasts such as whales.
