How accurately does Finding Nemo portray ocean life?
91782
I don't think Finding Nemo set out to portray ocean life accurately. It's a fantastical story. As far as fish communication, I'm sure it exists, but not in the form of "talking." Fish communicate through body gestures most likely, and possibly some other means such as body secretions or even sound production. \n\nWhatever the means, though, fish communication is almost certainly centered around extremely basic topics such as keeping a school together or coordinated hunting in the case of larger fish like sharks.

Thanks for the Orca answer. The film is Kagemusha

I swear, that movie did more harm than good. Here's my take on things... very briefly.\n\nThe flash freezing you see in the movie... physically impossible.\nThe giant, planet-sized storm... nope.\n\nHere's reality:\nMore carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere = higher surface temperatures\nHigher temperatures = less ice and snow, expansion of water in the oceans, more water vapor in the air\nMore water vapor in the air = more greenhouse effect = higher temperatures\nLess ice and snow = less reflection of sunlight (and higher temperatures), more water in the oceans\nMore water in the oceans = Oceans less salty = slowdown of deep ocean currents\n\nAll of these could lead to dramatic changes in weather patterns that would be very hard (and expensive) to adapt to... and that's really the worry. And once you change the climate, it would be very hard to change it back the way it was. And the whole thing is so complex that it's hard to tell exactly what the final results of the meddling might be.

Actually, it's a pretty good explanation.  It fits the observation.  Do elephants swim that well though?  Would one sink if it lost it's footing? <Looks it up>\n\nApparently, they do swim rather well in deep water.  So, it does seem to fit.  That would explain the lack of a head (based on apparent size of the neck) in the famous Nessie photo.

they say it's not the size but the motion in the ocean

No one has ever produced any convincing evidence that anything besides perhaps the odd otter or two lives in Loch Ness.\n\nDespite numerous 'expeditions' and untold numbers of tourists coming to the lake every year, no one has ever produced so much as a half decent picture of one.\n\nAll the signs point to the probability that there's nothing there.

You really want to know? Fine here are the answers, but I don't think you will like them.....\n\nHow come on the episode where Sandy dared the sea creatures to go on land how come Mr. Krabs got scared even though crabs are able too go on land? \n\n** Because even though Mr Krabs is a crab, he has never been on land. Therefore that is the reason why he got scared.\n\nHow come there is a lagoon under the ocean? \n\n** "Goo Lagoon" is basically once you think about it, oil.\n\n\nWhy is Spongebob and Patick not able too swim even though they live in the ocean? \n\n** An actual sponge and an actual starfish do NOT swim in the ocean. They do not have fins, please consult your encyclopedia or the discovery channel.\n\n\nHow did Sandy actually build the dome and put all the birds inside, the birds where shown on the episode where Spongebob needed water? \n\n** Because on a later episode, it was revealed that Sandy has a Rocket Ship that she built, that she was able to transport all the material from land to water. \n\nWhy is Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy so short? \n\n** Because it is also natural that when a person gets older their height seems to decrease with age. Please note that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy do live in a retirement home, and have retired from their "Super" jobs.\n\nNOW I hear people asking, is this woman insane?! Yes, I have a 6 yr old daughter, who loves Spongebob. So therefore as a parent it is my responsibility to know how, what, who, when, where and why.

I'll tell you if you promise not to remove the question and cheat me out of the hard-earned points. I thought I gave you a good answer to your question on P and S waves, so I was disappointed to see the question removed. \n\nCoral lives in a very small zone of water depth. Most true coral can only survive where there is lots of sunlight and oxygen in the water. It needs this because it depends on catching small plankton with their tentacles. Most plankton and zooplankton live in the shallow zone where there is lots of light.\n\nIf the water depth changes, as it can when some volcanic islands slowly sink, or if there is a lot of sediment in the water from ersoion, the coral can't move and will simply starve. There is other evidence that coral is being killed by higher levels of UV light penetrating the atmosphere. \n\nHere's link with some basic information:\nhttp://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/coralcare/a/aa022103.htm

THERE'S A LOT OFspace in the ocean \nthe water deeper inthe ocean is slightly  hot coz of high pressure \nthus fish survive compensating the dverse conditions

no-we humans would then build large floating continents to live on- and yes ive seen water world- but i dont think thats possible- it would take millions of years for such an evolution to occur and in the movie the other humans are still the same- for this to happen the costner characters early ancestors should ahev spent their whole lifetime in water(while they still dint have gills)- and i dont see how they could have survived like that.

thats what i think. my father and i saw a small group rolling on the surface on kootenay lake in british columbia. from a distance it did look like a sea monster.

I learned it's the Tethys Sea, but Wiki has it as an ocean.  My second link calls it the Tethys Sea.

It is a rather interesting movie.  Sort of a fish bowl outlook on life.  Below is a link to the official site, for anyone that is interested.
