Marianas Trench

rifle against the edge of the trench, he fired into no man’s land. Bullets whistled over his head; he ducked below the trench, loading a new cartridge with shaking hands, his mind numbed…

The scientific voyage of the HMS Challenger changed the course of scientific history during its four year voyage that spanned more than 69,000 nautical miles. In 1870, the British government agreed to give the Royal Society the use of one of its ships for research use. The warship HMS Challenger was modified to a research ship by having ammunition and 15 guns removed and replaced with laboratories. It was the first expedition of its kind, organized and funded specifically to chart and record…

team to reach the wreck. They were the first people to visit the wreck of the Titanic. James Cameron, who was the director of the film Titanic, he recently became the first person to reach and travel by himself to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. This Mariana Trench is 15km beneath the surface. In his book, Captain L.M. Collier said that what the Titanic hit was low lying pack ice and not an iceberg. He said that the lookouts saw not a berg, but pack ice. He added that if the ship had…

Today I am exploring the Ocean, here is the information that I have gathered so far. The Ocean covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface, it holds about 320 million cubic miles of water, which is over 97% of Earth’s water supply. The Temperature of the ocean varies from top to bottom. The upper layer which is about 200ft down is warmer that the lower part , the thermocline, because the top gets warmed by the sun. The temperature of the water can affect the productivity of organisms living in it.…

The oceans are explored by people,robots and machines you can either dive in yourself and go for it but you won't get very far doing it that way. Deep sea exploration is a difficult process even with today’s technology I predict that even in the next 10 years we won't learn very much about the oceans deep and dark secrets of the great depths it will be quite a long time until we even discover 90 percent of the ocean and then there will be so much about it that we still don't understand…

Richard Parker as a young boy. Pi sees anavi during her dance class and falls in love. Pi's father sells the zoo and takes him and his family on a freighter heading to Canada. The freighter ran into a very very big storm as it was directly above the Mariana Trench and Pi got separated from his family. The freighter sank taking the rest of Pi's family with it and Pi escaped on a small life boat. Pi is now on a small life boat with a hyena,zebra and an orangutan that found the…

Water bears are hearty creatures, which inspire people to create useful things, such as the development of a special type of glass and a refrigerator-free form of storage. Water bears are tardigrades, and their hardiness has been put to the test. There are 900 known species of tardigrades. Water bears are also known as moss piglets. German pastor Johann August Ephraim Goeze discovered them in 1776 and named them tardigrade kleiner wasserbar, which means little water bear in German. They were…

an excellent academic life despite my illness. This pride and this perfectionist lie about myself, is by far my biggest fault. After a name was put on the wretched face of my illness this lie became my tenet. With blood pressure lower than the Mariana Trench and pulse faster than a freshman late for class, I went to school. Dysautonomia does not like defiance, especially on her cranky days. She will show everyone the full extent of her wrath when its victim dares to get out of bed. My quaking…

If we do not change our ways, there will be neither a sea, nor will there be a place to call home. Changes in the sea affect all of us, not just the creatures swimming in it. In “My Wish: Protect Our Oceans,” an idea expressed live on the TED talk stage, Sylvia Earle shares her discoveries on how the oceans creatures, and its natural resources have been depleted by more than ninety percent in the last fifty years. According to the TED talk website, “TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to…

we are one of the few planets that supports life, but that doesn’t mean we are in the center. The Earth has a core, it has a very hot core of magma. If the Earth was flat, we wouldn’t have a core to our planet. The deepest place on Earth is the Mariana Trench which is over six miles deep. That means this disk we are flying around on is more like a cylinder than a disk. So with this theory we are more like a soda can, not a dinner plate, there’s a theory for people to consider. The Earth is a…
