大约在上世纪的中叶,国际上知名的海洋科研机构、美国伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的海洋地质学家霍利斯特,在分析大洋底岩心时发现海底有波状结构,海底地形被冲刷成大片光秃秃的岩石和沟壑。而这种现象表明,只有被快速运动着的水流冲击后才可能出现这种现象,其他则无法讲通。于是,他提出一个大胆的“假说”:大洋海底存在着海底风暴。这个“假说”于1963年在美国旧 Around the middle of the last century, the internationally renowned marine scientific research institution, Hollister, a marine geologist at the Woods Hole Institute of Oceanology in the United States, discovered a wave-like structure on the ocean floor when analyzing the core of the ocean. Bare rock and gully. This phenomenon shows that this phenomenon can only occur after being struck by the fast-moving water flow, while others can not tell the difference.
