Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seasickness is caused by a mismatch between the vestibular sense (balance and spatial orientation) and the eyes. When there is movement on a boat, the inner ear senses the motion, but the eyes do not see the surrounding environment moving in the same way, which leads to confusion and ultimately results in seasickness.
