the deep sea is any part of the ocean beyond the relatively shallow continental shelf. To scientists, the deep sea is the lowest part of the ocean, below the thermocline (the layer where heating and cooling from sunlight ceases to have an effect) and above the sea floor. This is the par...
The improvement in the technology of these sub-sea production facilities has made the ultra-deepwater productiona reality in GOM. The production facilities are connected to the onshore networks through a series of pipelines. When completed the largest capacity deepwater pipeline system will be able...
of sea monsters like Moby Dick, and the Kraken. In this programme, we’ll be diving into the deep seas, seeing some of its strange sights, and as usual, learning some related vocabulary too.
The seas cover 71% of the Earth’s surface. Yet – depending on where you go for your facts – between95%and 99.5% of the sea remains unexplored by human life. It’s why some scientists speculate that we have only discovered a measly one-third of oceanic species. Diving i...

The negative result, in finding only sand and white pebbles at the top of the mountain, but no fossil seashells, was disappointing, since it was unable to support Thévenot's hypothesis regarding former sea levels at the Cape of Good Hope. Who had told Thévenot about the possibility of...
During the formation of the Earth as a planet heat energy released by accretion and certain other processes was sufficient to heat the entire Earth beyond the melting point of composing it rocks. This definitely led to formation of hundreds kilometers de
Assumption 1State Space Restriction The vessel is always located on the surface, and thus there is no heave motion. Also, there is no pitching or rolling motion. Assumption 2Calm Sea There are noexternal disturbancesto the vessel, such as wind,ocean currents, or waves. ...
Deep Webalso has the happy knack of sounding like everything I like all at once whilst having a distinct character of its own. One minute we dive into the soundscapes Barry Adamson conjured up on Oedipus Schmoedipus. Other moments nod to Suicide, such as ‘When I Close My Eyes’, which...
