Robert Ballard Ocean Exploration Talk
What does NOAA stand for?
National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.
Big Question: Why are we ignoring the oceans?
The ocean is big, 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean. Weather conditions can make measurements difficult and dangerous .special challenges in exploring the deep sea: Cold, Dark, Extreme Pressure. Costly expense for subsea survey.
How much bigger is NASA's budget than NOAA's?
1,600 bigger than NOAA'S.
Why do we not have good maps of the ocean?
Because the bottom of the ocean is dark, we can't see well, high pressure much influence on NOAA
How much of the United States lies beneath the sea?
15 %
On a good day , how many people are in the deep sea?
4 or 5 people.
The Mid-Ocean Ridge covers how much of the Earth's surface?
23 %
Why does most of our planet not feel the warmth of the Sun?
It will have many reason:
. the earth's axis is tilted
. Wind direction
.place of high mountains, winter, plain and placeof the sea.
What did they find in the deep oceans?
Hydro-thermo vents
What is the average depth of the oceans?
12,000 ft
What is the Okeanos Explorer? What is it's mission?
Okeanos Explorer is a converted United States Navy ship (formerly), now an exploratory vessel for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
What do you think about living at the sea?
It's was a great time to living at the sea. We can see many animal live in the deep ocean and dolphin . Explore the ocean , the live of the animal live in ocean . But I will coast a big money for this dream.
Conclusion: Important to explore our oceans because it helps me understand more about the state of the earth,find oil resources,saving the Earth at the decay.
