Deep-sea exploration involves studying the ocean's depths, typically below 200 meters, where sunlight cannot penetrate. Scientists use specialized submersibles and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to reach these extreme environments. This exploration helps us understand marine ecosystems, discover new species, and assess the impact of human activities on ocean health.
The deep sea is home to unique organisms, such as giant squids and deep-sea corals, which have adapted to high pressure and low temperatures. Research in this area also aids in finding valuable resources, like minerals and hydrothermal vents, which can provide insights into Earth's geology and potential energy sources.
