Dive Into Darkness: 24 Chilling Ocean Secrets That Will Haunt Your Dreams Forever
The prevailing theory is that it was ice cracking off the south pole but we don’t actually know what caused it for sure.
The sonar we use for deep sea mapping really screws up a number of species especially whales, dolphins and porpoises. Imagine walking around and a tornado alarm decibel-level noise triggers right next to you. We do that every time we use that high-powered sonar and it basically f’s up their own sonar abilities causing them to be unable to communicate and navigate.
The Mauna Kea Volcano in Hawaii is the both the tallest Undersea mountain and the tallest volcano Hawaii. It sits 6000 meters below the surface of the ocean and stands a staggering 4000m above. Giving it an overall height from ocean floor to peak of 10,000m.
Ocean Acidification.
Increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) lead to higher concentrations of dissolved CO2 in surface seawater. This results in ocean acidification, which may affect the growth of the photosynthetic phytoplankton that form the basis of marine food webs.
So, total marine ecosystem collapse due to greenhouse emissions, the ocean produces more than half of the oxygen on earth, so that doesn’t bode well for us.
94% of the Earth’s oceans are just pitch black darkness.

If you commit suicide by jumping off a ship in deep water you will never be found, happens often enough on cruise ships, in those warm waters you’ll be nibbled away before you gain buoyancy and return to the surface
The ocean is blue because all the other pigments are absorbed. So after a certain distance down everything thing becomes a monotone blue color, unless you have some other light source.
The freaky part is if a diver gets cut underwater the blood looks black, like ink. All the red has long since been absorbed so there’s no wavelengths left to show you a red color when you bleed.
There are parts of the ocean which are dead no oxygen in the water which means nothing can survive, no fish no plankton nothing at all. They are spreading exponentially. Whilst they are tiny now and have been. At the rate of growth. They’ll cause serious problems before the end of the century.
The fact that scientists think we have discovered more of outer space than we have of the oceans just scares me considering we don’t even know how big our universe is
When sea creatures die in the ocean and their bones sink to the deep ocean floor, zombie worms eat the bones. The skin secretes an acid dissolving the bones, digesting the remaining fat and protein left behind.
