- By 2022, only 20% of the world’s ocean floor will be exposed
- The ocean is more mysterious and many times more dangerous than going into space
- The temperature of the Challenger Deep is slightly below freezing point
People who visited the wreck of the Titanic from a submarine mysteriously died in the deep sea. So far, there is only speculation as to how the accident might have happened. At the same time, the debate has once again begun as to why the oceans are still more mysterious than space. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, by the year 2022, only 20% of the world’s ocean floor will be visible.
Man has reached from the moon to Mars. There is talk of setting up colonies on other planets too, but the seas on our own land have not been touched so far. Experts often believe that measuring the depth of the ocean is more mysterious and many times more dangerous than going into space. After all, what is it that has been so deadly to the sea?
Where and how much time have experts spent?
So far, 12 astronauts have spent a total of 300 hours on the lunar surface, which is about 4 lakh kilometers from Earth. At the same time, 3 people could stay at the deepest bottom of the ocean for about 3 hours. This depth of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep.
Where is the deepest ocean?
According to Woods Hole Oceanographic, the average depth of the ocean is about 12 thousand feet. At the same time, its deepest part is called Challenger Deep. The site is at the southern end of the Mariana Trench under the Pacific Ocean. It is about 36 thousand feet deep. It was first discovered in 1875. Since then there have been several attempts to get close to it, but every time there has been failure.
How is the Challenger Deep?
The depth here is so deep that it is quite dark. The temperature of the Challenger Deep is slightly below freezing point. Even after visiting this place, people could not know whether there is life here or not. Where there is light, sea creatures also live.
Pressure equal to 50 jumbo jets falling together
The pressure here is 15 thousand pounds per square inch. This is 1 thousand times more than the pressure on earth. Simply put, it can also be understood that if the weight of 50 jumbo jets falls on a person at the same time, the pressure that will be created is that much pressure in every inch of the Challenger Deep.
The pressure in space becomes zero
Let’s skip the Challenger Deep, but why is it more difficult to go deep into the ocean than to travel millions of kilometers in space? There are not one but several reasons for this. The first reason is undersea pressure. As we move closer to the ocean, we experience a pressure of 15 pounds per square inch. It increases with depth. At the same time, the pressure in space becomes zero.
The secret of the Satanic Triangle is yet to be revealed
Many planes disappeared while passing over water and water vessels also went missing somewhere. Then they knew nothing. This is the Bermuda Triangle, which swallows up everything that comes within its reach. It can also be considered the black hole of the earth. This triangular part of the North Atlantic Ocean is not fully understood until now.
American planes also kept disappearing
Even experts who know a lot about space associate it with paranormal theory or aliens. American bomber planes also mysteriously disappeared after moving to this place. After this the place was named Devil’s Triangle. Now even the sea explorers fear that there are not many other such places in the depths.
Marine animals are also dangerous
There are also different types of animals within the ocean, which are not in fear space. Many species of jellyfish, which look very beautiful, are also so deadly that touching them directly can cause the nervous system to stop working. According to the National Ocean Service, the Australian box jellyfish is the most dangerous marine animal found in the ocean. Apart from this there is also a pufferfish, which can kill 30 humans in minutes. So far no bite of their venom has been found.
There is a whole country of debris under the sea
A submarine that recently suffered an accident went to see the wreckage of the Titanic ship. This is not a single ship, no matter how many ships have been buried in the depths of the sea over thousands of years. The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission estimates that there are more than 3 million shipwrecks on the ocean floor. This in itself is dangerous. Even technically sound ships can be destroyed by getting caught in them.
There are many more reasons
Although the danger of lightning strikes is less at sea than on land, if it does happen, the situation becomes very complicated. Water acts as a conductor and electricity destroys everything around it. Seawater contains many types of bacteria. Many of them are meat eaters. There are many such cases where people fell victim to this bacteria after coming in contact with sea water.
– In about 90 percent of cases, fish like sharks and whales attack unprovoked. However, the real danger is the sea creatures, which we have yet to come face to face with.
– Storms keep coming under the sea. Only a fraction of it appears on Earth and wreaks havoc. In such a situation, it is not even possible to estimate what kind of movement will be going on in the deep water.
