After the death of whales, there may be a phenomenon of whale fall. When this happens, whales usually die naturally after a certain life span, either because of illness or because of accidents such as drowning. In these cases, their bodies after death can not be quickly decomposed by microorganisms. In addition, the size of whales themselves is very large, so their bodies will slowly sink under the action of gravity and sink to the bottom of the sea. The process of whale landing usually takes a long time, sometimes several months, sometimes even several years, which is a strange phenomenon.
However, in some cases, the whale will not fall after it dies. For example, in the case of their death due to stranding, their bodies will remain on the shore, slowly decomposed by microorganisms, and will not re-enter the water. For example, if they are killed and die, they will not fall.
In the process of trying to understand whale landing, we may hear a saying, that is, "a whale falls and all things are born.". This refers to the importance of whale landing to marine ecosystems. When whales die, they can be said to "return to their roots", and in the process of sinking to the bottom of the sea, they will form a unique ecosystem, which will provide certain nutrients for all levels of the food chain after death. Because whales are generally large, they can feed other organisms for a long time. In addition, whales can also promote the transmission and circulation of organic matter in the ocean after they fall, which plays an important role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. Therefore, the whale is called the "oasis" of life in the deep sea.
