10,000 meters deep into the water, in the deepest part of the ocean, the Mariana Trench, the water pressure is unimaginable

In the deepest part of the ocean, the Mariana Trench, the water pressure is unimaginable

The water in the Mariana Trench is crystal clear, but the amazing thing is that as long as it exceeds 100 meters below the seabed, the line of sight will be weakened and the seabed will not be seen clearly. The line of sight is extremely limited. An explorer once set a record of -113 meters. . Why is the line of sight still blurred below 100 meters? The reason is the magnetic field of human beings. As long as they are within a certain depth, human beings begin to have hallucinations and begin to lose their way. For divers, there must be contrast when going to the bottom of the sea. Things can tell the direction.

The pressure of water is so great that it is unimaginable for ordinary people. When it goes deeper than 300 meters into the sea, the pressure of the water is enough to crush a large piece of steel.

The further down, the lower the visibility and the darker the field of vision. When it reaches 1000 lost, it has completely entered a dark state. Some marine creatures at this depth have no eyes, because they can't see things clearly, so the eyes can't evolve.

Going further down to about 3,000 meters to the bottom of the sea, at this level of depth, not only some microorganisms have no eyes, but even fish have not evolved eyes. If they need to prey, they need to rely on touch and senses to perform a series of operations. These organs rely on survival. Will evolve better than shallow water animals. This depth may not be harmful to creatures who have lived in this environment for a long time, but for alien species that suddenly enter this field, including humans, it is not enough to withstand this pressure, and this pressure can kill people.

Going further down to 7,000 meters under the sea, it is estimated that only high-tech submarines and the like can enter this depth. For example, my country's Jiaolong successfully dived into this depth and brought back some samples for Chinese scientists to study. Jiaolong The depth reached by the number is also the deepest place that human society has reached so far on record. This depth of sunlight cannot penetrate at all, so photosynthesis cannot be carried out in this place, and the cycle can only be maintained by the accumulated substances over time.

If there is the ability to continue to go down to more than 8,000 meters, then the water pressure at this depth is a high-voltage line that cannot be touched by anything. If humans reach this depth, it is not surprising that the internal organs will be crushed. As we all know, the deeper you go to the bottom of the sea, the deeper you go, not only to withstand huge pressures, but also to withstand extremely cold temperatures. As far as the cold temperature is concerned, it is basically impossible for any creature to survive. This is not only a problem for human beings. Challenge, for any creature, no pressure and temperature are an irresistible problem.

However, some creatures that live on the seabed all year round will gradually adapt to this environment. According to the natural survival law of survival of the fittest, the creatures that can survive are all species that can adapt to this environment. For example, the lionfish discovered by scientists, its evolution is Adjusted according to the changes in this environment, so that he can successfully survive in such a harsh environment.

Going deeper, what greets the high-tech submarine is no longer simple low temperature and high pressure, but the rolling heat wave of the Mariana Trench from the area close to the earth's core. This heat wave will also instantly smash the submarine. Smart scientists have used lionfish as a sample to study the submarines that can dig deep in this environment to complete the study of the deeper seafloor.

As we mentioned just now, the deeper the depth, the lower the temperature, some people will ask, will such deep sea water freeze?

This is the magic of nature, and it will definitely not freeze, because nature has its own balance system, and it will adjust itself according to different depths to achieve a stable state.
