The distance between Mars and Earth varies constantly , but the average distance is 225 million kilometers. On the other hand , the bottom of the Earth's oceans is an average of 3,699 meters or about 12,100 feet away. However , mankind knows much less about the ocean floor than it does about the surface of Mars!
If our brains are not corroded due to YouTube videos , games etc. on mobile , then from the above paragraph many curious questions can arise - Why is the distance between Mars and Earth constantly changing ? When and by how much are the two farthest and nearest from each other ? The height of Mount Everest from the surface of the earth is greater or the depth of the deepest part of the ocean is greater ? Why is it that Mars is so far away and the oceans are so ' shallow ', yet we know so little about the ocean floor ecosystems ?
If your children have such questions and take the mobile phone to find the answers during the vacation, be sure that nature is kind to you. Let him use the mobile as long as he wants!
When James Cameron , who we know more as the creator of the movie ' Titanic ' , made history on March 26 , 2012 by diving into one of the deepest trenches in the ocean known to man , he also had many questions in his mind. It may be a far-fetched thing to do an adventure like him , even if we become adventurous enough to check the details of his adventure like a giant leap of technology , sitting on the screen of a mobile phone, fear fear!
There are many secrets of our creation that take many vacations to discover , but wish you and your family members enjoy such a tour in the days to come!

The day was March 26 , 2012. Looking at the map, a ship arrived east of the Mariana Islands , just above Australia. The ship had a special type of submarine called Tachukdi. Other submarines roll in the sea and move parallel to the bottom , while this submarine was designed to move from top to bottom in the sea. James Cameron, better known to us as a film maker , set out in this submarine that he designed himself. Cameron and his team worked for seven years for this day. There was no possibility of taking another person along , because even though the submarine was 24 feet tall , there was not enough room for James Cameron to shake his hand after sitting in it.
A crane aboard the ship lifted the submarine and lowered it into the water , with James Cameron speeding towards the deepest trench on Earth, as pictured opposite. If there was an error in calculating the water pressure at the bottom of the ocean while designing the submarine or some other flaw, there was also the possibility that the submarine would never return to the surface.
At that time, Cameron said about his adventure , " I dreamed of diving to the bottom of the oceans since childhood. The Deepsea Challenge was not about setting any records. Like all things science and knowledge seeking, behind this too was the force of unique curiosity! "
An extraordinary adventure indeed , but…
This adventure was great , what is even more exciting for us is that with the help of the internet today we can get information about this adventure and can also experience the quest to find out the secrets of our creation in many exciting ways!
James Cameron is famous as the creator of movies like ' Titanic ' or ' Avatar ' as well as an explorer of the National Geographic Society. Before he focused on the Mariana Trench, he was already an experienced diver, having dived to the bottom of the oceans 72 times in various types of submersible vehicles. 51 of these times he went to a depth of 4.8 kilometers in the Russian Mir submersibles , 33 times of which he circled the wreck of the Titanic ( now understand why the movie ' Titanic ' was so amazing ?)!
Now they wanted to go twice as deep as the previous dive. For that, he dived in a special submersible called ' Deepsea Challenger ' . The location he chose was also what made this mission truly historic.
Earth's deepest trench
With an average depth of 14,020 feet, the Pacific Ocean is still the deepest ocean in the world. The Mariana Trench above Australia is the deepest place in the entire Pacific Ocean. Starting at the average ocean floor, this trench is a total of 36,000 feet below sea level - a depth of about 11 kilometers in kilometers! In contrast, the height of Mount Everest is 8.849 km.
Everest has been climbed by thousands , James Cameron was the third to reach the Mariana Trench. Fifty years before him , on January 23 , 1960, Lieutenant Don Walsh of the US Navy and Jacques Picard, a Swiss oceanographer and engineer, also tried to reach the same place in a special type of vehicle called ' Tryst ' . They could reach a depth of 10.912 kilometers after a journey of five hours. However, his vehicle did not have any special scientific equipment and therefore could not collect any samples. After about twenty minutes at the bottom of the earth, they returned to the surface of the ocean in three and a half hours.
In comparison, James Cameron plowed almost the same distance , but between 1960 and 2012 there was a real sky-ground difference in technology.
Cameroon's submarine was able to descend to a depth of 11 kilometers in the ocean in just two hours and complete the return journey in just one hour. This submarine could spend up to six hours at the bottom. It had 8 high-definition cameras for photography or 3D videography of the surrounding space at the bottom of the earth. It also had a mechanical arm-like structure that could collect samples of the Earth's bottom.
On the journey to the bottom of the earth , 36,000 feet (i.e. enough to be submerged in water even if one hundred and fifty minarets as tall as Delhi's Qutub Minar were lined up) Cameron initially had to face steam and bone-chilling cold on reaching the floor in pitch black darkness.
What were the risks in this venture ?
Can you imagine the pressure of eight tons of weight on every square inch of our skin ? In the Mariana Trench , James Cameron's submarine had to face pressure as much as the weight of three whole cars on one of our toes (pressure not only on one toe , first finger , second finger... three car pressure from the corner of the whole body)! If there is a slight mistake in the calculation of the bottom of the earth, the submersible will break. Trapped in a very narrow space, if something breaks, water rushes in from all sides with terrible pressure. After reaching the bottom, if the return trip cannot be started for some reason, then sitting and waiting for death until the life support system in the submersible stops!
Even though there is water all around , the possibility of a fire inside a submersible is also quite high. While descending or surfacing , Cameroon's submersibles were also likely to become entangled in submarine communication cables strewn across the ocean floor.
Then why was there a need to take such a risk , the question arises.
The answer is that the study of trenches like the Mariana Trench that form on the bottom of the oceans as a result of this adventure helps further understanding of how earthquakes that cause tsunamis are created.
Studying organisms that thrive at such depths , where even sunlight cannot reach them, can provide tremendous new insights into biotechnology. James Cameron says , “ Imagination drives the pursuit of knowledge. You have to first imagine what is possible , only then you can go ahead and make it possible. "

Beyond the average sea floor , James Cameron's submarine began its journey in a trench nearly as deep as...
When it went beyond the depth of 800 feet, it became truly extraordinary , as even nuclear submarines do not go deeper than this.
The record for the deepest scuba dive in the ocean is 1,044 feet , James Cameron had to reach 36,000 feet in his submarine !
After surpassing a depth of 3,300 feet, the black Dibang had to turn around the dark submarine as sunlight could not penetrate beyond this point.
The deepest diving whale in the oceans reaches a depth of 8,200 feet . Cameroon had to go four times as deep.
The wreck of the Titanic rests at a depth of twelve and a half thousand feet , so deep that James Cameron had previously planted a number of bricks.
29,029 feet ! If we set Mount Everest upside down from sea level, its top would stop here , Cameroon's floor was still another 7 thousand feet away.
Finally the submarine reached its destination. In the samples taken , bacteria were found even at this depth!
