Today I will give you 5 curious ocean data about the oceans that make up our that you may not know.

1.Did you know that 93% of all life on Earth lives in the ocean, that means that all terrestrial animals, plants or insects make up only 7% of the rest of life on the planet, while the other 93% Made up of fish, corals, plankton and millions of different Marian species.

2.Although 70% of the surface of our planet is made up of water, it is logical to believe that we know its vast majority, but the reality is that we know only 5% of it; We have more detailed maps of the moon and mars than of our own seas and oceans.

The hydrostatic pressure in the pits of the marianas is of more than 1,000

4.Scientists believe that there are still 1,000,000 marine species of animals yet undiscovered, so there may be creatures and animals that we have not even imagined.

5.The ocean has an average depth of 3.8 kilometers, which is approximately the same distance that would be obtained if we placed 10 times the empire state building, one on top of another. The deepest place in the oceans lies in the Marianas pits, in which the ocean reaches an immense distance of 11 kilometers, about 29 empire state buildings, not even the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest has This height (8849 meters).
