Solution

Even if the water has the same level, the land submerged is not even.

Explanation:

Ships wreck when they strike underwater rocks because the ocean floor is uneven, with high and low areas like ridges, valleys, and rocks. Although the surface of the water appears flat, the land below varies in height. This unevenness can cause ships to hit submerged obstacles, especially in shallow waters.
