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.
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
Wouldn’t the bottom of the ocean NOT be water?
Actually, it’s sand or rock. The water is on top of that.
Uh, actually, it’s fish poopoos and peepees
A submersible with dead billionaires.
I’m not sure those still fit the description
A small lump of metal, glass, bone and maybe a little goopie bits if they got trapped does not elicit the same mental image.
Bits of submersible with dead billionaires? Sand formed by the sudden and thorough crushing of a submersible with dead billionaires? The Logitech F710 aught to be mentioned as well. Of all the things cheap game controllers have suffered, utterly destroyed by deep sea pressure is one.
Would it really be the bottom if there was just more water
It was a race to the bottom
Dang, you were faster
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!
leaving it
