Have you ever thought about where the sea is the deepest in the world?What are its characteristics?Who lives there?No?And I would like?
Answers to these questions can be obtained by reading the contents of this article.
Section 1. What is the sea?
Before we tell you about the deepest sea in the world, offer a definition of the very concept.So, under the sea means that part of the world ocean, separated by land elevations or underwater topography.
In general, it should be noted that the world's oceans from the sea different climatic, meteorological and hydrological regimes.This is due to the fact that they are usually located at the edges of the oceans and because of the limited communication with the open part of the water space is inherent in them slow water exchange.
And the definition of geography textbook states that under the sea should understand a huge amount of salt water, which is connected to the water shell of the Earth, or the Great Salt Lake, is completely isolated from the world's oceans and has no outlet.
from one another sea, of course, differ in their flora and fauna.
Section 2. Philippine Sea
Now, perhaps, any student can name the deepest sea in the world.It is Filipino, which is located between the islands of the western Pacific.Thanks to the warm currents, the water here has an average temperature of 25 ° C, and its salinity in some places reaches 35.1%.
greatest depth recorded in the Mariana Trench, or the so-called the Mariana Trench.Probably everyone at least once in his life heard about this point on the map.And the directors of modern cinema often inhabit her unseen monsters, strange fish, wrap mysticism and mysteries.
depth of this trench is 11 022 m. However, these figures are approximate.Some scholars insist that in reality the figure may be much more simple humanity still not technically ready for the measurement of such segments.
Meanwhile, the deepest sea in the world has more than seven thousand islands is very beautiful with rich flora and fauna.
Among its advantages You can select unique Pangaskhanskie waterfalls, lakes, volcanoes, caves and rich underwater world, represented by whales, sea cows, turtles, sharks, dolphins, huge manta rays, eels and other Japanese.
Section 3. Coral Sea
If we talk about what it is the deep sea in the Southern Hemisphere, it is impossible not to mention Coral.It is located in the tropical Pacific Ocean and covers an area of more than 5 million square meters.km.Some depressions discovered by scientists in its depths, reaching a depth of 9000 m.
Geographically, it stretches from the coast of Australia to the Solomon Islands, the islands of New Guinea and the New Hebrides, and the north-west out into the Indian Ocean.
water in the sea all year round is well warmed.The average temperature ranges between + 20 ° C to + 28 ° C.
name Coral Sea is not accidental.Due to the abundance of coral colonies in it, reefs, atolls, islands of fossilized coral polyps, it gets its name.
By the way, do not forget that in this part of the world ocean there is the largest coral structure of the planet - the Great Barrier Reef.Today, its width is between 60 and 80 km, and it stretches parallel to the coast of Australia at a distance of 30-60 km from the coast of more than 2,000 km.Scientists claim that this is not the limit, because every year becomes only more reef.
addition of different types of coral, sharks and crabs, are inhabited by many representatives of the underwater world: sea anemones, star, cow, sea urchins, flying fish, sea cucumbers, huge sea turtles, clams, poisonous stone fish, fish prilipialy,pteroisy and others.
Section 4. Tasman Sea
between the coast of the island of New Zealand and Australia in the South Pacific, there is another deepest sea in the world - Tasman.
Its area is 3340 square meters.km and resembles the shape of a rhombus.In some places, it reaches a depth of colossal figures of 6000 m. Even hard to imagine that this is precisely the distance which has to overcome the plane flying, for example, from Moscow to Khabarovsk.
climate in different parts of the sea differs significantly.Why is this happening?The fact is that it is geographically in different climatic zones.
surface of the water in the North Sea is warming up to + 27 ° C, in the south - in the summer just to + 15 ° C and in winter drops to + 9oS.It should be noted that the kind of inhabitants Tasman Sea is very similar variety of Coral.
Underwater World is made up of coral, sharks, atolls, sperm whales, whales, killer whales, tuna, mackerel and many other sea creatures.
Section 5.
Banda Sea in the western Pacific is the Banda Sea, the Straits is connected to other parts of the world ocean.
Its area is 714 thousand. Km2.In principle, it is considered a deep sea with a maximum depth of 7440 m, although the average is 2737 m, t. E. Almost the same, which has the deepest sea washing Russia - Bering.
Scientists have found that the gang is 6 basins, going deep into the distance above 4000 m. They are separated by mountain ranges and thresholds.
Another striking feature can be called that the sea is located in the area of volcanic activity, so most of the island is of volcanic origin.
Banda Sea has diverse flora and fauna of the richest, represented a variety of fish of different sizes, colors and shapes.Marine organisms live mostly in the coastal shallow zone.
Among the representatives of the underwater world there are different types of bottom and reef sharks, stingrays, moray eels, corals, brittle stars, sea anemones, sea snakes, sea urchins, stars and so forth.
Section 6. Caribbean
the west of the Atlantic Ocean in the areaEquator is situated the Caribbean with many islands, sandy beaches, clear waters, tropical climate, rich underwater world and picturesque places.
Hardly any of today's travelers realize that, starting here on vacation, at the same time they have the opportunity to visit one of the deepest seas of the planet.
Sea average water temperature does not change all year round and is + 23 ° C to + 28 ° C.
inhabits about 500 different species of fish, among which are the fish-goliath, angelfish, parrot fish, moray eels, several rare species of sharks, dolphins, sperm whales, whales.
Section 7. Bering Sea - the deepest sea in Russia
Bering Sea - is one of the most biologically productive and diverse ecosystems in the world.
It is located between Russia and Alaska, and rightly bears the title "The deepest Arctic Sea."
Its area is about a thousand km2.
the whole sea is composed of Arctic and sub-Arctic waters.Surprisingly, it is very rich in its living organisms.However, of course, those physiologically dwell at such low temperatures.
Experts note that there are all conditions for the existence of more than 450 species of fish, molluscs, crustaceans, whales, dolphins, walruses, seals, sea lions, polar bears, more than 200 species of birds from all continents and 26 species of marine mammals.
Bering Sea - one of the largest semi-enclosed bodies of water, limited coasts of two continents, which is considered to be the northern extension of the Pacific Ocean.
