Question

Is it true we have discovered about 5% of deep waters?

Answer 1

yes...think about it in 1960 we only developed sumbarines that could go more than 1500 ft under the ocean without getting crushed......some parts of the ocean are almost a mile deep- we have no idea what is on the bottom of the ocean floor.....plus there are lots of creatures we havent discovered such as the giant squid-which had never been seen alive-so imagine if we havent seen that how many other creatures there are waiting to be discovered

Answer 2

??

Answer 3

no idea

Answer 4

yes. we know almost nothing about our oceans in their entirety, because the oceans are so unimaginably large and deep that it would take hundreds of years to explore every crevace, and there are some places that we simply dont have the technology to see yet. In fact, we know more about the moon than we do about our own oceans, to put it in contrast.

hope that helps

also, to correct love.cat:

we have filmed the giant squid alive recently off the coast of Japan, and we have even recently discovered and caught a live specimen of a new species of squid even larger than the giant squid. It is called the colossal squid, and it is believed to grow between 10-15 feet larger than the giant squid, making it the largest squid species, and mollusk, on the

planet. it can be found in deep waters around Antarctica, southern Argentina and Chile, Australia, and New Zealand.

Answer 5

True, however you mean explored. It's actually about 3%.

Answer 6

Pretty much, yes! The official figure is 2 - 3%. But that's not as crazy as it sounds. Modern humans have been around for 250,000 years, and it was only 500 years ago that it began to be widely accepted that the earth was round. We are still discovering uncharted areas of land even to this day, land only makes up 25% of the world and we can walk with ease over it, so we've got about 70 - 75% to explore underneath so many miles of water and marine life, its a real challenge near impossible, but it is very slowly being mapped through laser beams now we have the technology, but it will need to advance considerably which im sure it will, before we have a complete map of the ocean floor
