Wrong.
The bottom of the ocean is gonna be sand or dirt or rock. Possibly all of them. The water will actually be sitting above the bottom.
Real facts: The gnarliest thing about the first submersible to touch the bottom of the Marianas Trench was only down for like, 30 minutes IIRC, because it had a glass porthole and they were unsure of its stability (even though it was hella thick and had a pretty small diameter), but they wanted it to be able to observe what was down there. But when they hit the ground, it kicked up a cloud of silt and they were unable to see anything for the whole duration they were down there. Oof.
What about the second time?
I don’t know if anyone’s ever been down there again. I vaguely remember a headline in the last 5 or so years that said someone was trying, to, though I don’t know if they have yet.
should have brought a flashlight smh
And dirt
I learned about brine pools recently and I’m fascinated
I believe Goo Lagoon from Spongebob is canonically a brine pool
Thanks that was an interesting fact. Wiki
Actually, it’s sand or rock. The water is on top of that.
Uh, actually, it’s fish poopoos and peepees
Wouldn’t the bottom of the ocean NOT be water?
this guy clearly hasn’t been to the bottom of the ocean
A submersible with dead billionaires.
I’m not sure those still fit the description
Also the majority of it has been recovered and brought back up. The hull and billionaire bits are back on shore somewhere.
A small lump of metal, glass, bone and maybe a little goopie bits if they got trapped does not elicit the same mental image.
Would it really be the bottom if there was just more water
Dang, you were faster
It was a race to the bottom
David Byrne was actually the first person to discover this during a Once in a Lifetime opportunity
So it’s just water all the way down? Then why are all these geologist types talking about some mythical “crust” and “mantle” nonsense? You should probably talk some sense into them.
It’s called Big Geo and they keep lyin’ to us!
Crust? Mantle? We’re talking about the ocean, not pies or furniture.
I wouldn’t wanna know what cuthulu monster lies dormant on those depths
Sand!
