Deep Sea Drilling
Deep sea drilling is a technique used to explore and extract resources from the ocean floor. This process involves drilling deep into the seabed to access valuable materials such as oil, natural gas, and minerals. Specialized ships equipped with drilling rigs are used to reach these depths, often several miles below the surface.
The information gathered from deep sea drilling helps scientists understand geological formations and the history of the Earth. It also plays a crucial role in energy production and resource management, contributing to the global economy and energy supply while raising environmental concerns about potential impacts on marine ecosystems.
