What is at the bottom of the seA?

Question

Like the pressure is too much to go down there, why cant we make something to go in to get down there?

And what would we find?

Answer 1

The Blade is correct.

We know that on the deepest ocean floors there are giant clams and tube worms and hydrothermal vents.  Living around these hydrothermal vents are marine creatures which utilize as nutrients the chemicals issuing from the vent.

Answer 2

What is it that they say.. man knows more about space than the ocean floor... the pressure is very high and many strange creatures live there and plants that have adapted. Some weird stuff.... My teacher once talked about plants living off silica and those weird fish with the huge teeth and lights on their heeds..

Answer 3

It depends on the depth. If it is really deep there really isn't much down there but, sea sand and where the sunlight is observed.

If it is more shallow then it is where all the plants, corrals, and hidden fish like rays.

People sometimes do go at the bottom of the ocean with submarines.

Answer 4

At the bottom of the sea would be the sea bed or sea floor.

The seabed has been explored by submersibles such as Alvin and to some extent scuba divers with special apparatuses.

The Alvin can go as far a 4.5kilometers down, but On August 6, 2004, the National Science Foundation announced the creation of a new Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) to replace the aging Alvin. The new vehicle is being designed to dive deeper up to 6500 meters (21,000 ft) as opposed to Alvin's 4500 meters and use new scientific equipment.

The deepest point in the ocean is the Marianas Trench located in the Pacific Ocean near the Northern Mariana Islands. It has a maximum depth of 10,923 meters (35,838 ft)

So we got a long way to go yet! :P

As time goes on, technology will evolve and we will 'make something' that will take us even further.

Answer 5

Both of the first two posters are correct. Submersibles have explored approximately 1% of the ocean floor, so we have plenty out there still to see. The ocean floor is far from boring though. Like they mentioned, there are hydrothermal vents which support a surprising array of life which survive the extreme temperatures. They have found 'underwater lakes' - a brine pool that is so extremely salty that it, in effect, forms a lake under the water. In fact, the one they found was so salty and dense that they could not get the submersible to dive into it - they "bounced" off the surface.

If you get a chance, watch 'Blue Planet' - it's amazing and shows some footage of one of the submersibles on the sea floor.
