The very same force allows water striders to glide along the surface of a pond, and, as Bandi demonstrates, causes flakes to move across water.

This moves water away from the coast, causing upwellings that bring cold, nutrient - rich water from the ocean floor to the surface, where it feeds innumerable microorganisms and algae.

Multiple observations indicate that the flowing water responsible for shaping and moving the rounded pebbles encountered in the vicinity of the rover landing area has long since been lost to space, though some of it may still exist deep below the surface of the planet at equatorial locations (water ice is known to exist near the surface at the poles).

So far, these early results showed that physical conditions where the air and the ocean interact must be a vital part of any successful hurricane forecasting model and would help explain, and predict, how a storm might intensify as it moves through across the water based on the physical stress at the ocean's surface.

By measuring the distance between the two satellites to within the width of a strand of human hair as they orbit the planet, researchers can record changes in Earth's gravitational pull that result from water moving across its surface.
