had been on the sea floor for 2,000 years, there would be no way to reconstruct this.
So I mentioned the sea floor that we were interested in for Rudolph.
And almost everything was on the sea floor .
versus physical presence on the sea floor .
So the pressure at the sea floor was eight tons per square inch.
you can look at 98% of the sea floor in the world ocean.
And you can see how quickly the sea floor drops off.
And then these plastic particles start to drift to the sea floor and collect in seafloor sediments the way that real plankton do.
If you go all the way to the sea floor , you see hydrothermal vents.
So from the bottom at the base in the sea floor , 5 kilometers deep, basically, you are, essentially from there to the top,
So here's our little friend still smooshing around on the sea floor .
This huge delivery of carbon to the bottom of the sea floor , because everything's dying.
Robots were going to supersede human visits to the sea floor .
and he helped develop this idea of telepresence on the sea floor .
Changes what it means to be physically present on the sea floor .
Well it's because if you look at a chart of sea floor area versus depth, you find that at 20,000 feet
but they just lift it one yard off the bottom of the sea floor .
And since the bay is kind of shallow, the icebergs will scrape against the sea floor and become what's called the grounded, which basically means
When the trawl-- this is the trawl, the net-- when it's being dragged along the sea floor , the reaction, the biological reaction, for haddock
That way, as the net is coming-- and then it's not being dragged along the sea floor as they usually are-- the cod and the yellow tail
And that happens on every dive, but the subtle currents of the sea floor move it away.
Here, mercifully, the sea floor is only 20 feet down, a depth at which the plunging chutes of sunlight are just converging to their vanishing point.
She seems to be pointing at something on the sea floor .
From the bottom of this turning mobile, the cucumber body sinks toward the sea floor ."
But still, as long as you're fishing on the sea floor , there's a good chance that you could be collecting marine turtles.
Like undersea molten lava forming a new island, a piece of time detaching from the sea floor and floating up to the surface.
And that was what separated the early cephalopods from all of the other snails, and mollusks, and other clams and things that were living on the sea floor .
And most of the large animals were crawling on, or burrowing in, or scrabbling around over the sea floor because that was the interesting place where
doing underwater construction, like pneumatic drills underwater, putting it into the sea floor .
So the ocean, instead of pulling him to the surface, it's going to start pulling him down to the sea floor .
Cultures around the world have used it to harvest pearls, food, sponges, whatever from the sea floor .
So already in the late '80s it had 25 years of experience, and brought and still brings three people to the sea floor
So all that software, all the navigation, all the interesting sort of slam modeling of the sea floor that gets done now gets them inside the sphere in Alvin.
again, way back in the '80s and '90s-- was gee, we would continue-- Jason would take two, two and a half hours to go down into the sea floor ,
Where we're diving the seawater temperature is about 84, and then you're going down to about-- I think it was 34 degrees roughly at the sea floor .
You build a submersible, design it for that depth, and you can get 98% of the sea floor .
If we understand the fundamental plate tectonics of the ocean floor, you've got spreading centers where new sea floor is being created.
And then urchins and abalone just littering the sea floor .
That's because when Mr. Gavitak was mapping the sea floor , he actually had a whale flip off his sonar sounder, so he wasn't able to get there the whole way.
But then in 1957, Mel Fisher, who some of you guys may know is the discoverer of the richest treasure on the sea floor off of Florida.
