Red Waves Glow at RK Beach in Vizag

Red Waves Glow at RK Beach in Vizag

On December 15, 2023, the waves at RK Beach in Visakhapatnam turned a reddish color, surprising many people.

Scientists say this happens because tiny plants in the sea, like plankton, die and release colors that make the water look red.

These plants grow when the sea has the right temperature and food for them.

The red waves are not harmful, but scientists need to test the water to know exactly what caused it.

This is not the first time the sea near Visakhapatnam has shown unusual colors.

In April 2023, the waves glowed blue because of different tiny plants.

These events show how the sea is always changing and how important it is to understand nature.
