Studied, only 5% of ocean glubin



The ocean is huge. So huge that we yet hardly looked at him. According to some estimates, we have examined only 5-7% of the ocean floor and less than 0, 5% of the total volume of groundwater.

To study the deep ocean is very difficult - this is why we are still not very advanced. In deep water it is impossible to survive without special equipment designed to operate in conditions of high pressure and low temperatures.

The deeper you dive, the more pressure - every ten meters, it increases by about one atmosphere. This means that the greatest depth of the pressure is 1000 times greater than the surface.
