Is there mud on the deepest seafloor on Earth? Will it be crushed into something? Here is the answer
We all know that the deepest place in the world is the Mariana Trench. The depth of the water here is 11,034 meters according to the measurement. Even Mount Everest, the highest altitude in the world, can be completely submerged by it. Moreover, according to the introduction of the scientists, the atmospheric pressure will increase by one if the seawater does not drop by ten meters. That is to say, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the number of atmospheric pressures is about 1,100. What is the concept? That is, without an area of 1 square centimeter, it needs to bear at least 1.1 tons of weight.
According to the introduction, we know that in the ocean, a variety of organisms and microorganisms live, especially microorganisms, they form a variety of organic matter through various biochemical actions, and with the passage of time, these have the opportunity to keep growing The seabed accumulates and eventually becomes sea mud, which is also known as siliceous ooze (also called diatom ooze) and calcareous ooze. In addition to the sediments of these organic organisms, there are also many sediments formed after the eruption of submarine volcanoes on the seabed, including various iron oxide-rich brown clays that are reddish-brown as a whole.
These things are called seabed mud, but they are all because the pressure on the seabed is too high, and their material form has changed because of the pressure. However, because of the pressure on the earth (even the deepest Mariana Trench), it is completely impossible to let a kind of Substances aggregate into another substance under the action of pressure, so no matter what form the mud on the seafloor takes, the mud will always be mud, and this fact will never change.
It's just that due to the huge pressure of the sea water, a huge friction force is formed between these deformed mud particles. Therefore, the mud on the seafloor is not as soft as what we usually see on land, and their shape is closer to a solid, and , Over time, when the time is long enough, these solids will re-aggregate under the huge seawater pressure to form new rocks and accumulate on the seafloor.
Of course, not all deep-sea mud will turn into rocks. Scientists have conducted deep diving research and found that there are new fish creatures at a depth of 8,000 meters, and the sea mud here is also very loose. There are many Fish that are good at camouflage often hide in these loose sea mud, and then suddenly burrow out to subdue their prey when they pass by.
Not only that, but as the depth of the sea goes deeper, the undersea creatures are more resistant to pressure. They can even turn their bodies into liquids in order to avoid being hurt by the high pressure of the deep sea, so that their bodies only need to withstand It is possible to live in the deep sea with very little pressure. Doesn't it sound very magical, this is the magic of nature!
I believe that without the development of human science and technology, human beings will definitely explore more unknown fields and discover more mysteries. You must know that there are still many unsolved mysteries about the Mariana Trench. The mystery of the solution will be found in the future. It is said that the origin of life comes from the sea. When human beings thoroughly understand the truth of the Mariana Trench, perhaps the truth about the origin of human life will also be revealed along with it?
