Pororoca
The Pororoca (, ) is a tidal bore, with waves up to high that travel as much as inland upstream on the Amazon River and adjacent rivers. Its name might come from the indigenous Tupi language, where it could translate into "great roar". It could be also a Portuguese version of the term ''poroc-poroc'', which in an indigenous' language was a way of expressing the act of destroying everything. It could be also a ''portmanteau'' of the words ''poroc'' (to take out, to tear away) and ''oca'' (house). It occurs at the mouth of the river where its waters meet the Atlantic Ocean. Explanation During new and full moons, when the ocean tide is highest, water flows in from the Atlantic, rather than the other way around. The Amazon's flow reverses, the distance of which depends largely on the rainwater-generated outflow of the Amazon, and a water bulge speeds upstream often with great force, forming a tidal bore with an audible noise. The tidal phenomenon is best observed on biannual equinox ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
