Video: Creatures create strong currents in the ocean

The Stanford University team found that small marine organisms can have a big impact when swimming into billions of cubs.

Experts say that wind and tidal currents are the main reason for the mixing of seawater.

Researchers from Stanford University discovered that zooplankton can also create this effect.

Creatures such as Krill shrimp or saltwater shrimp swim hundreds of meters up the surface according to the herd of billions. This huge animal population can create strong currents in the sea.

Zooplankton were once thought to only affect water within the same range as body size. But Krill shrimp in this tank shows that the whole herd can produce a strong movement.

The team of scientists hopes to conduct research under the sea and better understand how animals affect the climate on the ground.
