The sea sickness or naupathie is a form of motion sickness (motion sickness) due to dysfunction of the inner ear. In sea, with the balance created by the movement of the water disrupts the information that is sent in the center of the balance, which is located within the inner ear. The more you are above the water plus the effect of balance is important, which is why the phenomenon of sea-sickness is most common on the big boats that small, or the center of gravity is much lower.
