Ocean Mysteries that Scientists Couldn't Explain

Ocean makes 70% of the total area of the planet Earth and that’s why Earth get its blue color. According to the studies, only 5% of the ocean is discovered and charted yet. Only the surface ocean is discovered and rest of 95% ocean is still unseen by human eyes. Ocean is extremely deep to the point that it is impossible for anyone to even survive under that. Sunlight penetrates in water till 656 feet and the rest of bellow ocean is extremely dark. Scientists and explorers discovered and explained many things but there are still some mysteries in the ocean that we can’t find answers for. Here are some of the interesting Mysteries in the ocean.

Mariana Trench

Marina trench is the deepest point of Earth and it is located near Mariana Island in Pacific Ocean. This trench is the so deep that till this day only two people made it to its bottom but they couldn’t spend more then 20 minutes there due to the Darkness and extreme water pressure. They also couldn’t capture any images because there were clouds of slit at the bottom. The deepest point of marina trench is known as Challenger deep. Temperature Of marina trench is just a few degree above then the freezing point and it is known to be the part of earth that is forever dark and never touched by light. Water pressure is eight tons per Inch Square in the bottom. Scientists are trying to explore this insane depth in the bottom of ocean to discover new life forms that can survive under that much water pressure. There is a saying that scientists know more about the surface of Mars than ocean floor. Mariana Trench is a huge mystery and undiscovered area that is hiding countless secrets.

Bermuda Triangle

It made scientists and explorers speechless for years and still there is no exact explanation of Bermuda triangle. This triangular region is located in the western part of the Atlantic ocean and it is known for having extremely strong magnetic force that pull ships and aircrafts in the bottom of ocean. There are countless conspiracy theories about this place ranges from being an alien base to ceremonial site for Aluminate region and house of Sea monsters. Many submarines, aircrafts and ships went missing in this region and never seen again. That is why it is called devil’s sea and voyagers avoid it and airplanes avoid flying over it. It is one of the biggest ocean mysteries.

The Cursed Ship Wreck

This shipwreck was found in the Gulf of Mexico and it is famous for bringing bad luck to the people who ever got closed to it. The reason why it is very mysterious is that no attempts were ever succeeded to explore it. The shipwreck is still unseen because the submarine that was sent to discover it malfunctioned and stopped before it can reach near the wrecked ship. The cameras shut down and sonars break out that made it impossible to just get a glimpse of Shipwreck.

Sea serpent

In 1884, a royal navy warship named HMS Daedalus was sailing in the Region near the Southern African ocean and they spotted a sea serpent. They also reported that they keep watching it for over 20 minutes and it was almost 100 feet long and had the head of dragon. This leads to the emergence of stories of giant sea dragons. Their claims got strong when that creature was spotted for the second time by the crew of ship named Brig Daphne. They witness it and even tried to follow it but they lost the creature in the depth of ocean. Although it is believed today that what they saw was a whale but majority of people aren’t convinced by this theory because there is a clear difference between Whale and Serpent and it is hard to confuse them both. The giant Sea serpent may be living in the depths of the vast ocean or may be its just a misunderstanding,

Atlantis

The fictional and Mythical underwater island and civilizations are called Atlantis. They are the historic embodiment of Plato’s ideal state and many people really believed that there are lost underwater civilizations. We can’t imagine the power of water about how it can sink whole pyramids in its depths. The Atlantis of Japan is enough to catch you off guard and strengthens our belief on the fictional existence of the Plato’s Atlantis Island. Japnese Atlantis is known as ‘Yonaguni Monument” and it was discovered in 1986 by a diver. It is a huge sandstone formation in an impressive symmetrical form. It is now an underwater site that is open for visit. Many experts and scholars went to explore the Pyramids like structure that look like steps. They believed that it is 1000 years old and made by humans because some of the rocks are craved and shaped and suggest that it is a submerged Ancient city.

Milky Sea

Milky sea sighting are concentrated in northwestern Indian Ocean and near Indonesia. It is a region of the ocean that is reported to have glow and milky appearance that is even visible from the space and space station. The first space image was captured in 2006. The glow had numerous theories about it that list it as the mysterious site. But Scientists explain that the milky glow is coming from the high concentration of bioluminescent bacteria that attracts fishes so they can be eaten and live in their guts. But Scientists still couldn’t explain that why tsat much high concentration of bacteria is gathered in that region which creates bright glow that is so constant and prominent.

Baltic Sea Anomaly

In 2011 a group of diving experts found 60 meters thick strange shaped entity in Baltic Sea. They were looking for treasure but they found this entity that left all scientists questioning about it. It was found in 300 feet depth in the ocean and it had strange craved shape. Many people speculate that it is a spacecraft that was crash landed in the Baltic Sea and it gives rise to alien intelligence theories. It was detected by sonar image by those divers. There is no proper explanation of such strange entity in the ocean. Many believed that it was part of some ancient ruin or lost city and others think of this as some kind of war technology.

The Strange Sounds

The famous “ Bloop” sound that was low frequency, usually loud and a very unique pattern of sound, was recorded deep underwater of the South Pacific Ocean. It is believed that this sound was made by the some undiscovered creature in the deep ocean. Scientist tried harder to prove the source of this sound. After years they assume that this sound was created by an ice quake that cause the icebergs to break from the glaciers. The explanation couldn’t convince many people. Since that sound wasn’t repeated after that, this makes it strange mystery and people still believe that there might be a creature that is making this sound and lurking in the depths.

Missing Submarines

This is one of the greatest ocean mysteries and the less talked about. An incident of submarine gone missing is rare but terrorizing. Back in the year of 1968 four submarines went missing. Those submarines were USS Scorpion, French Submarine Named Minerve, The INS Dakar, and A soviet submarine named K-129. All these submarines went missing in the depths of the ocean in the same year. INS Dakar and Minerve disappeared with just four days apart. These submarines were never seen again. This is a huge mystery that where are exactly those submarine and what cause them to disappear and also what was happening underwater in that year. This disappearance had many conspiracy theories attached to it because it sounds sinister.

Convergence of Baltic and North Sea

Probably two seas meeting each other is one of the most endearing things to witness. The convergence or meeting point of Baltic and North Seas is very famous. These two seas with different rates of density and different color lie in the same place but water never mix with each other. They exist for billion of years now and still these seas don’t even slightly mix with each other. There is no proper explanation for this except that this is another miracle of Mother Nature. The only explanation regarding this phenomenon is found in Holy Quran. Other then that scientists can’t find the reason why these seas live extremely close to each other and yet so distance and apart.
