in NatureWhich natural phenomenon is nicknamed in New Zealand “aurora of the sea”?
Answer: Aurora of the sea is a natural phenomenon where plankton blooms glow in blue and green after nightfall. The light is activated by the movement of waves, swimming fish, and even footprints in the wet sand. The phenomenon is caused by plankton and phytoplankton species blooms, some of which use bioluminescence to distract predators.
