Think of the deep blue sea and great white sharks, and it's clear that our ocean anxieties have long lingered, containing chilling stories of sailors, scuba divers, and surfers who have seen them in the ocean. Things I'd rather not see. Let's start with the fact that only 5% of 's ocean floor has been explored.
Whale Fall (Whale Fall) is refers to the phenomenon of whales sinking to the bottom of the sea after death. When a whale dies, it creates a brand new ecosystem. can support a circulatory system dominated by decomposers. For hundreds of years.
2 Falling into the sea A was lost in the sea, and the sailors clinging to the wreckage had their skin basically dissolved by salt water after being soaked for more than 3 days.
3 Ocean Debris Most plastic pollution in the ocean does not come from straws, shopping bags or consumer products as most of us have been led to believe. It mainly comes from fishing nets and fishing gear.
4 The ocean is blue because all other pigments are absorbed, so after going down a certain distance everything becomes a dull blue unless you have another light source. Oddly, if a diver is cut underwater, the blood will look as black as ink because all the red light has long been absorbed.
5 Only 5% of the world's oceans have been discovered, which means that 95% of the oceans are still untouched by humans.
6 The "Hot Tub of Despair" is a lake on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico . It is highly concentrated with salt and dissolves with methane . Any living thing that enters will dissolve.
7 The largest biomass migration occurs every night when deep-sea animals come up to feed.
8 Ocean acidification, the increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, leads to an increase in the concentration of dissolved CO2 in surface seawater. This leads to ocean acidification, which may affect the growth of photosynthetic phytoplankton that form the basis of the marine food web, thus causing a complete collapse of marine ecosystems due to greenhouse gas emissions, and the oceans produce more than half of the earth's oxygen , so this Not a good sign for us.
9 Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the highest seamount and the highest volcano in Hawaii. It sits 6,000 meters below the ocean surface and 4,000 meters above sea level, giving its peak an overall height of 10,000 meters.
10 There are more viruses in the ocean than There are stars in the Milky Way
11 94% of Earth's oceans are completely pitch black. 12 Dolphins can prey on almost any creature, including humans, to the point where sharks are afraid to get close to them. 13 Once you reach a certain depth, your buoyancy changes and you actually start to be pulled down by the depth instead of floating. 14 Megalodon may still exist, we just don't know because the oceans are so deep. 15 Just one milliliter of seawater taken from the ocean surface may contain up to 10 million viruses. The amount of virus decreases offshore and in deeper water. I don’t want to go swimming at the beach
