The oil and gas industry and trade groups are quick to point out that chemicals typically make up just 0.5 and 2.0% of the total volume of the fracturing fluid. When millions of gallons of water are being used, however, the amount of chemicals per fracking operation is very large.
How deep can an ocean get? Real Deep ;) Actually, it can get to 35,838 feet. That's how deep Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench off the Marianas Island in the Pacific Ocean gets. The U.S. Navy su â¦ bmersible Trieste reached it in 1960. That's about a mile deeper than Mount Everest is high. And that's real deep.
Cameron's dive is the latest step in a 200-year journey to the deepest depths of the sea, the last unexplored frontier on Earth. At the bottom of trenches like the Mariana, the water is freezing cold, there is no light, and the pressure is pulverising. Yet somehow, life endures, and we are only just beginning to learn how it does so. Until the late 1800s, little was known about the oceans.
