A blowhole is a coastal geological feature formed when sea caves or tunnels eroded by wave action develop a vertical shaft that opens to the surface. When waves enter the cave, they trap and compress air, increasing internal pressure according to Boyle’s law. This pressure forces water upward through the narrow blowhole opening, and by Bernoulli’s principle, the reduced cross-section accelerates the water, ejecting it as a high-speed jet or spray. As the wave recedes, pressure drops and air is drawn back in, creating a rhythmic “breathing” effect. In some cases, the air and water inside resonate with incoming waves, amplifying both sound and spray, much like an organ pipe.

Cave divers: it's free real estate
Actually very little similarity to the balloon.. The pressure in the balloon is the same throughout its volume, it's not getting higher near the orifice where air shoots out.
Whereas the blowhole shoots higher than any of the surrounding waves, violating principles like connected vessels. You must talk about how the pressure got higher!
Seamless loop
It looks like a GLORY of a HOLE
Because that's their new purpose. Recycling <3
❤❤
this is why potholes are safer than beacholes
The biggest blowhole in the world is about 10 minutes from my house, and I didn't know it was anything other than normal-sized until recently… that's it at 0:13 in this short lol
I love your smile😍
Let's start a petition to ban her from wearing any hoodies… 😅
