Do you know that scientists actually know more about space that they do about what it’s like in our deepest darkest oceans? Humans can only dive so far down, and remote cameras can only teach us so much. In the deepest parts we have explored, there are see-through fish and crustaceans that use fibre-optics (lights and colours) to communicate. Mermaids might not have been found yet, but there is plenty of sea yet to explore!
Challenge: Find out the most interesting fact about the ocean.

Dead Sea is so salty because it is surrounded by a hot desert ,the intense heat causes sea water to evaporate faster ,thus large quantity of salt remaining in sea as large quantity of water goes into air

The most remote point in the oceans is called “Point Nemo”, the the part of the ocean farthest from land and is in the South Pacific, and the name Nemo comes from Jules Verne’s captain Nemo of twenty thousand Leagues under the Sea , not from the film Finding Nemo.

Why are Oceans Salty? – Salt in the ocean comes from rocks on land.
As water flows in rivers, it picks up small amounts of mineral salts from the rocks and soil of the river beds. This very-slightly salty water flows into the oceans and seas. The water in the oceans only leaves by evaporating (and the freezing of polar ice), but the salt remains dissolved in the ocean – it does not evaporate. So the remaining water gets saltier and saltier as time passes.
