WHAT DOES WHIRLPOOL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

whirlpool

Whirlpool

A whirlpool is a swirling body of water produced by the meeting of opposing currents. The vast majority of whirlpools are not very powerful. More powerful ones are properly termed maelstroms. Vortex is the proper term for any whirlpool that has a downdraft. Whirlpools in oceans are usually caused by tides. Very small whirlpools can easily be seen when a bath or a sink is draining, but these are produced in a very different manner from those in nature. Smaller whirlpools also appear at the base of many waterfalls. In the case of powerful waterfalls, like Niagara Falls, these whirlpools can be quite strong. The most powerful whirlpools are created in narrow, shallow straits with fast flowing water.

The definition of whirlpool in the dictionary is a powerful circular current or vortex of water, usually produced by conflicting tidal currents or by eddying at the foot of a waterfall.
