Abstract

From 200 to nearly 11,000 m (about 600–33,000 feet) below sea level and covering two-thirds of our planet, the deep ocean is Earth’s largest—and most critical—habitat. The deep ocean is very important to people for many reasons. For example, it provides foods that we eat, it balances Earth’s climate, and it is a wild unknown space for people to enjoy and explore. Despite its importance, the deep sea is the least explored area on our planet because it is so big, deep, dark, cold, and salty. Researchers need to use special tools such as ships and deep-sea robots to create maps, make new discoveries, and understand how the ocean works and how it affects people and the planet.

科学家如何探索深海海底?
深海位于海平面以下 200 米至近 11,000 米(约 600-33,000 英尺)的范围内,覆盖了地球三分之二的面积,是地球上最大也是最重要的栖息地。深海对人类非常重要,原因有很多。例如,它提供我们食用的食物,平衡地球的气候,是供人们享受和探索的未知野生空间。尽管深海非常重要,但它却是地球上探索最少的区域,因为它太大、太深、太黑、太冷、太咸。研究人员需要使用船只和深海机器人等特殊工具来绘制地图、进行新的发现,并了解海洋是如何运作的,以及它对人类和地球的影响。
