WHY the Mariana Trench is DANGEROUS: Water Pressure Can Crush a Submarine Like a Soda Can

Описание: WHY the Mariana Trench is DANGEROUS: Water Pressure Can Crush a Submarine Like a Soda Can
In this cinematic documentary, we deconstruct why the Mariana Trench is so dangerous, revealing the brutal physics of the abyss where water pressure can crush a reinforced steel submarine like a soda can. We explore the deepest point on Earth, the Challenger Deep, and the terrifying secrets of the Hadal Zone.
Welcome to Why Zone 360. Today, we take you 11,000 meters down into a world so hostile that more people have stood on the Moon than on the floor of this trench. This is a masterclass in oceanography and marine biology.
Join us as we investigate:
• The 2,500km Scar: Understanding the subduction zone where the Pacific plate is dragged into the Earth’s mantle, creating this geological wound.
• The Weight of 1,000 Atmospheres: We use 3D simulations to visualize 8 tons of pressure per square inch. Discover why an implosion at this depth happens faster than human thought.
• The Death of Physics: Explore hydrothermal vents spewing 450°C water that cannot boil due to extreme pressure, and the eternal darkness of the Midnight Zone.
• The Biological Miracle: Meet the survivors—the Mariana Snailfish and giant Amphipods. How do they live without skeletons or lungs?
• The Elite Club: The history of human exploration, from the Trieste in 1960 to James Cameron’s DEEPSEA CHALLENGER.
This isn't just a video about the deep sea; it’s a deep dive into the limits of human technology and the infinite resilience of life. This is Why Dangerous.
