It is said, that in this Mariana Trench, live the alien animals with super creepy appearance.
Mariana Trench, or if converted into a Mariana Trench, is a term for the deepest waters in the world. This trough stretches for 2,550 kilometers with a width of 63 meters and a depth of up to 11 kilometers. The Mariana Trench is located west of the Pacific Ocean to the east of Mariana Island.
Hearing the brief description above, you must be curious is not, what are the interesting things stored in the deepest ocean? It is said that the exploration into the moon is still more extensive and more advanced than the exploration ever done by humans to this deepest trough. The more curious, right? Let's take a look at the unique and amazing facts of the Mariana Trench below.
Have an "altitude" that exceeds Mount Everest
One analogy is most often used by scientists and laymen to compare how deep the Mariana Trench is the summit of Everest. If the height of Everest peaks is made upside down to the bottom of the sea, undoubtedly its height is still inferior to the "height" of the Mariana Trench.
Illustration comparison Everest and Trench Mariana.
Is there another example to illustrate just how deep the 11 kilometer figure is? We try with a local analogy. To reach the deepest point of the Mariana Trench, you have to cross the Kapuas river, the longest river in Indonesia, almost 10 times, climb to Jaya peak, highest mountain in Indonesia, twice, and 38 times up and down Gama Tower (288) In Indonesia at this time.
The tremendous pressure that will make people crumble
Have you ever swum and dive in a swimming pool or a loose sea? The deeper in the waters you dive in, the more you feel some kind of pressure on your body that makes you have to spend extra power to dive, you will also find it harder to see (if you do not use a mask) and your eardrums will break. Oh yeah, by the way, can you swim?
One of the deepest explorations man has ever done.
It's new in depth that can be reached by humans. What about the Mariana Trench? With a depth of up to eleven kilometers, the highest pressure can reach eight tons per square inch. Confused? Just imagine what it would be like for 50 of the world's largest jet aircraft or 1,600 African elephants stacked on top of you. Such is the great pressure that a human would feel if dive to the bottom of a trough without any protection.
Hadal, mysterious zone of minimal exploration
The depth of the ocean is divided into four zones. The Litoral and Bathyal zones represent sea level to depths of three kilometers down. Then there is the Abisal zone to call the depth reaching six kilometers. Then last, there is the Hadal zone, to call any depth level that exceeds six kilometers below sea level.
Animals found in the Hadal zone.
There has never been a human dive (without the use of tools or special vehicles) that once dive into the Abisal zone, let alone the Hadal zone. Strangely, though considered a dead zone, there are some unique and creepy animals that live in them. What are the animals? Let us discuss at the next point.
Unique animals that you will not meet
Through a well-known exploration mission, scientists discovered several facts about animals living on the deepest seafloor. Although on the short journey they find more small animals such as amphipods, giant prawns, slugs, and other vertebrate animals, but there are some big fish with creepy shapes and looks and will make you shudder with horror.
The ghost shark
Like a seadevil fish who has some sort of illumination lamp near his head to draw prey to him. The advantages that enable it to live comfortably in the pitch black sea. This dreadful animal can be found in some well-known animated titles and video games. Then there is a ghost shark, a vicious animal whose length can reach six meters. Not his creepy appearance, but the way this creature prey on its victims. Just look at the video below for more details.
The probability of Megalodon as the deepest ruler of the sea
And lastly, there is a myth that is often discussed by observers out there that in the Mariana trough, the Megalodon shark is still alive and quietly hiding. Although it has been declared extinct, but the possibility that ancient sharks that can reach tens of meters long with weights up to hundreds of tons is still widely believed to exist.
The Megalodon sharks have a degree of horror over a dozen times that of today's most vicious sharks.
Great White Shark or white shark, which we know as one of the most vicious marine predators on the face of the earth alone recorded ever dive to a depth of more than one kilometer. In fact, other shark types such as the Greenland shark and the Pacific shark can live at depths two times deeper than that number.
Considering that there are not many deep sea explorers yet, and although there is no real proof or documentation of the existence of Megalodon sharks, this possibility is still very wide open. Just wait until humans find super-sophisticated technology that allows us to dive into the seabed with equipment or simple equipment. If you have reached that point, then do not be surprised if we actually find this shark or perhaps other sharks that have never been recorded in history.
That's all about the unique and fascinating facts guaranteed to make you shudder about the Mariana Trench, the deepest, darkest, coldest, and most creepy seafloor. Amazing, is not it? After knowing the facts above, do you dare to dive there, if you have advanced equipment or tools of giving Doraemon, for example? The author himself, hell.
