1
Yeah, let's go for it.
2
I actually went to New Zealand to study the other side of the island.
3
But to satisfy my curiosity, I started exploring this coastline.
4
And that turned out to be the day that I actually discovered the longest sea cave in the world.
5
To survey the cave, geologist Nicholas Barth and his team paddled their canoes through the cave's tunnels.
6
They discovered the Matainaka Cave is around 1.5 kilometers long,
7
70% longer than any other sea cave in the world.
8
This cave system on the Otago coast contains six of the ten longest sea caves in the world.
9
Exploring sea caves is a very difficult task.
10
Some parts of the cave are extremely narrow.
11
Others are filled with water right up to the ceiling.
12
The team must swim underwater to find their way out to the next section of the cave.
13
In this part of the cave, the team found some creatures called isopods.
14
In larger rooms, they found some impressive rock formations.
15
These formations carry a record of climate change over time.
16
It's one more piece of the global climate puzzle.
17
The team is also studying the cave for evidence of past earthquakes and tsunamis.
18
Such data helps geologists understand the area's risk for earthquakes and tsunamis in the future.
19
The team also mapped the cave using both traditional 2D cave surveys and also newer three-dimensional surveying tools.
20
With these 3D tools, the geologists can get better data about the shape and structure of the caves.
21
Barth's study of Matainaka Cave has also shown
22
that it is around 80,000 years old and getting about 2 centimeters deeper each year.
23
But there is still a lot of work for these geologists to do, and future studies will hopefully reveal even more about this incredible place.

À propos de cette leçon

Vous vous entraînez en anglais avec "Unit 12 Sea Caves" en utilisant la technique du Shadowing.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
