My twelve year old son loves to draw. In geography lessons, the teacher explained a new topic about the Mariana Trench. My son quickly picked up a sheet of paper and began to draw on the subject as he imagined it. He has a very developed imagination, and he got this picture. He drew it in class. The Mariana Trench is one of the smallest explored places on our planet. Not to mention that the largest ocean basin still hides secrets, people have many different interesting facts about its structure and parameters.
Facts
1. Yes, the pressure in the Mariana Trench at 1100 levels is higher, below sea level. For this reason, immersing a living being without special equipment in a hollow is an effective way to settle accounts with life.
2. The maximum depth of Marianne West is 10,994 meters ± 40 meters (according to 2011 data).
3. For comparison - the highest peak on Earth - Everest - reaches a height of 8848 meters, Everest may be completely covered by water in the Mariana Trench.
4. Water in the Mariana Trench is warm - from 1 to 4 degrees Celsius. The reason is the high temperature of deep water, the water around which is completely heated to 450 degrees Celsius.
5. There are huge destructions of xenophyophores. Unicellular reach 10 centimeters in diameter.
6. Mollusks live in the Mariana Trench.
7. Hydrothermal spring Champagne in the depression forms a liquid carbon dioxide.
8. The bottom of the depression is covered with viscous, which is a small shell and other remnants of plankton, converted into sticky special water pressure.
9. At a depth of about 414 meters in the Mariana Trench is an active volcano Daikoku. As a result of the eruption of the volcano formed a lake of medium sulfur, the temperature of which reaches 187 degrees Celsius.
10. In 2011, four stone "bridges" were discovered in the Mariana Trench, each 69 kilometers long. Scientists speculate that they formed at the junction of the Pacific and Philippine tectonic plates.
11. Famous director James Cameron was one of three daredevils who appreciated the exit to the Mariana Trench. The creator of "Avatar" goes on his way in 2012.
12. The Mariana Trench is a national monument of the United States and the largest marine reserve in the world. Famous director James Cameron was one of three daredevils who went to the Mariana Trench. The creator of "Avatar" goes on his way in 2012.
