It was pitch dark, cold in Konkan and the water pressure was eight tons. That is about fifteen thousand seven hundred and fifty pounds per square inch. Surprisingly, there is no shortage of life here either. The inhabitants here are not less in number as well as in variety. Which one is terrifying and which one is awe-inspiring. But the mystery of this deepest point has not yet been penetrated much. Mariana Trench is the deepest place on Earth.
So deep that if you placed all of Mount Everest under the Mariana Trench, the summit of Mount Everest would still be seven thousand feet below sea level. It is an interesting and wonderful place for the people of the world because it is not possible to know everything about the Mariana Trench even today. There are many myths surrounding it. Most of which are insults.
Goa is the largest island of the Mariana Islands. There is a very strong US military base here. Another island in the Marianas is Tinian. The United States bombed Japan from here in 1945. In 1668, the Spaniards established colonies in the islands on the western side of the Pacific Ocean. They also named the island Mariana Islands after Queen Mariana of Austria of Spain. But they never imagined that the eastern side of these islands is the deepest place in the world. The Mariana Trench is named after the islands. The deepest part here is called the challenge tip. The sailors of a ship called Challenger Two discovered this deepest point on Earth in 1948. According to scientists this place is about eleven kilometers deep. Although scientists are still unable to say for sure that this is the real depth. The Mariana Trench is caused by the collision of tectonic plates. As a result of the collision of the Pacific plate with the Philippine plate, the massive Pacific plate moved under the Philippine plate. And this is how this deep trench was born under the Pacific Ocean. As such, the expansion of the Mariana sector is comparatively less. It extends for about two thousand five hundred and fifty kilometers from north east to south west.
After 1000 meters in the sea no more potatoes reach. As a result, the water temperature in the island portion of the challenge ranges from one to four degrees Celsius. Challenger Island is a dangerous place for any human because of the excessive water pressure. Normal submarines cannot operate here. As hard as it is to conquer Mount Everest, it is more difficult to reach the deepest point of the island of challenge. Mount Everest has been conquered by many people so far. But humans have so far made four expeditions to the deepest point of the Challenge Island. In 1966, US Navy Lt. Don Wolff and Jacqueline Speaker were the first to land on the bottom of the Mariana Trench. After that, people landed twice in nineteen sixty-six and two thousand nine years in this terrible place.
The famous James Camera landed here in 2012. According to him, going to the bottom of Manyona Trench is harder than conquering the moon. But recently another explorer Viktor Viskop also reached up to ten thousand nine hundred and twenty seven meters. Which still stands as a record. What is at the bottom of this deep sea? More on that later. On March 26, 2012, James Camera embarked on a greenish-yellow submersible called the Deepsea Challenge into the depths of the Malina Trans. Two and a half hours after the start of the journey, he reached a depth of ten thousand eight hundred and ninety eight meters. It was then a world record. He reached the deepest part of the ocean.
Luckily he was diving with a 3D high definition camera to watch us. The documentary DC challenge was released in the year 2014. And this shows that there is significant existence of life even in the deepest part of the ocean. The Mariana Trench may be the world's most unexplored frontier. Scientists around the world are busy trying to figure out how it survives in the frigid waters beneath the Mariana Trench, where there is no light and terrible pressure. Usually the skeleton shells of dead animals are deposited deep in the junction. The Mariana Islands are no different. That's why the water here is slightly yellow. Hot water, sometimes rich in various minerals, including hydrogen sulphite, also emerges from the vents on Challenger Island. These are effect food, barophilic bacteria. These bacteria have to be eaten again and seen with a microscope. So many small creatures. Fish take them as food.
In this way, the cycle of life continues at the bottom of the ocean as well as above the ocean. The first obstacle in the battle for survival here is pitch darkness. Most fish are invisible here. The drive fish is named for its large fins. They use their wings as feet on the ground. This fish also relies on touch and vibration to sense prey. There are also many fish that have their own light. This light is known as bioluminescence. Landton fish or similar fish use this light as a headlight. They use this light to attract prey. Darkness then creates a second problem. Lack of sunlight means no algae or vegetation to support the food chain. As a result, there is naturally a shortage of food. As a result, they depend on the decaying waste of dead animals from the surface of the ocean to survive. Scientists hypothesize that French's deep water pulls more of these wastes to the bottom. As a result, a strange ecosystem has been created so deep.
Sometimes the corpses of huge animals like whales circulate a lot of food here. Fish like hackfish start feeding on these carcasses. And boneswans make bones disappear. A third problem is the physical characteristics of the ocean that make survival more dangerous. This place is freezing. Temperatures range between minus one and four degrees Celsius in most places. The worst impression is eight tons per square inch of sea water, which is a thousand times more than at the surface of the ocean. It's like being crushed to death in a freezer. This combination of stress and cold has strange effects on the animal's body. Their body cells are surrounded by fatty membranes. These membranes tend to harden in the cold like refrigerator butter. But animals cannot sense the vibrations if the hard lining is in the body. As a result, the lining of the body must be kept soft. It is surprising how many years they have adapted to this situation. Surely you can understand it by looking at these animals named Sikkumber? The bacterial genes here show that they can survive on sulfur and carbon dioxide.
Some also depend on gases like methane and hydrogen. Maria Treans bacteria can help us understand how life began. They can also help us determine where life on other planets might be found. The region has a striking resemblance to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, and has twice as much water under its ice as Earth. A Locano is believed to have a liquid ocean. James came back from the camera's malarial trance and said it was as if I had come from another planet. With the development of science and technology, people will know all the underwater information one day. Conquer the kingdom under the sea. Then surely many intrepid explorers will jump on the Mariana train for a thrilling expedition to land in the deepest part of the world. At the end give a bad news. On September 18, 2019, the explorer Victor Reskova came up with this news. This deep point is not spared from pollution. Plastic was also found here.
