Once again, this is not the ocean. It's a dry riverbed. I remember from the last coupe of times this was posted on imgur

Tsk, sandworms would never go that close to an ocean. The moisture would kill them!

It would be a nice place to hunt some sandtrouts.

Did a 141mile trek to the coast in Namibia. 40c heat, but the water is FREEZING!

That's the reason why there is still a desert next to the ocean.

Is this where hurricanes come from?

8 years ago | Likes 177 Dislikes 6

Nope. The Namib desert is way too far south for hurricanes. most hurricanes come off the Sahari desert.

No. This is where Namibias come from.

Nope. They come from a experimental best Korean weaponized weather machine. Set up next to Africa so that they can blame them for it all.

Why don't things grow there?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

The water comes from antarctica and is very cold. That's why it doesn't evaporate to form rain clouds. Therefor the desert stays dry.

Can't some plants use seawater somehow?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not usually, almost all land plant species need fresh water. Look at the picture, there aren't many plants growing. And without rain, nada.

As a Seattle resident, it's such a foreign concept.
