Everyone may know that the Marinas Trench is the deepest place on earth, but there are many other places of the same kind scattered all over the world, which are also worth mentioning.
Hello everyone, I am the narrator of Brother Tao said the world, today I will show you some of the deepest places on the earth.
Kurubaya Cave
Kurubaya Cave, located in the Caucasus region of Georgia , is the deepest cave we know. The cave was first explored in the 1960s, when speleologists were able to reach a depth of 57 meters. What they don't know is that they haven't reached the end yet. Nearly forty years later, a group of brave Ukrainian explorers was responsible for awarding the title of the world's deepest cave to the site. At that time, the explorers explored 1,710 meters. But the story did not stop there. Since then, people have conducted many expeditions to Kurubayala, and each time new promenades and passages have been discovered, making the cave deeper. At present, the maximum depth reached is 2140 meters, which is the world's largest record so far.
Mariana Trench
Mariana Trench , located at the junction of the tectonic plates of the Pacific Ocean and the Philippines, is the deepest place in the ocean, reaching 10984 meters. This trench is the result of thousands of years of movement of these plates. The Mariana Trench was first explored in 1960, but it was once again the world's attention in 2012, when the famous director James Cameron came here alone in a special submarine. Even there, several marine creatures that only inhabit the deepest seas have been found, and of course, there are some plastic garbage.
Kola ultra-deep well
Kola ultra-deep well, this hole is located in the northernmost part of Russia in Europe. It is the result of an ancient project designed by the Soviet Union to drill as deep as possible into the earth’s crust.And hope to reach the mantle. The hole is very deep, and the locals call it "the well to hell". Drilling work began in the early 1970s, and a large hole with several branches was formed in the ground. The deepest one is called SG-3, reaching an astonishing 12,262 meters, becoming the deepest point created by humans on earth. The idea of the Soviets was that the shaft should reach at least 13,500 meters, but the plan was frustrated due to the high temperature below. Initially, it is estimated that the maximum temperature of the well can reach 100 degrees, but the environment is at least 8 0 degrees higher than the calculated temperature. The high temperature and excessive pressure deformed the drill bit and the pipe, which is why the project was abandoned.
Morpenn Mine
Morpenn Mine, South Africa is one of the countries with the most gold and diamond mining in history. Therefore, it is not surprising that the deepest mine in the world is there. We are talking about the Morpenn gold mine, which started to excavate in 1987. It stretches for more than 4 kilometers under the surface, and it takes nearly an hour to reach the deepest point. The mine is still being mined today, and more than 5,000 tons of rock are being excavated every day. Mining in deep places is neither easy nor enjoyable. The deeper the mine, the greater the risk of underground earthquakes, landslides, gas leaks, floods and high temperatures.
Baikal
Baikal , this Siberian lake holds many records. It is the oldest lake in the world, with a history of 25 million years, and the lake with the largest water volume. Moreover, the reason why we say it is after all, it is the deepest lake in the world, measuring 1,680 meters. To give you an idea, the capacity of Lake Baikal is larger than the combined capacity of all the large lakes in North America. In such a vast lake, Lake Baikal is home to more than 1,500 different animals. In winter, the scenery here is exceptionally precious. The huge lake is frozen and you can even walk on it.
Congo River
Congo River , this is a long arched river,The basin spans 9 countries in central and western Africa. This vast body of water provides food and transportation for approximately 75 million people in the surrounding basin. That's right, the Congo River is the deepest river in the world, with a depth of 220 meters, even sunlight can't penetrate it. Moreover, it is the second largest river in Africa, second only to the Nile.
