Marine heatwaves(MHW) are extreme rises in ocean temperature for an extended period of time. They can occur at different locations in the ocean, and their magnitude and frequency have increased over the last couple of decades, with harmful impacts on ecosystems, and human activities.... A marine heatwave is a heat episode during which the temperature is significantly higher than a certain threshold for at least 5 consecutive days.

OBS

One of the most common ways that scientists measure the ocean’s temperature is through sea surface temperature.

CONT

Les vagues de chaleur océaniques sont des épisodes inhabituels d'augmentation des températures de surface de la mer. Si, pendant plus de cinq jours, la température de surface en mer est plus élevée que la moyenne, on parle alors d'une canicule marine. Ces vagues de chaleur peuvent durer des semaines, des mois, voire des années et se produire en été comme en hiver, sur toute la colonne d'eau – de la surface aux profondeurs.

Ritual abuse is a brutal form of abuse of children, adolescents, and adults, consisting of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, and involving the use of rituals. Ritual does not necessarily mean satanic. However, most survivors state that they were ritually abused as part of satanic worship for the purpose of indoctrinating them into satanic beliefs and practices. Ritual abuse rarely consists of a single episode. It usually involves repeated abuse over an extended period of time.
