These chasms are the deepest parts of the ocean—and some of the deepest natural spots on Earth. Ocean trenches are found in every ocean basin on the planet, although the deepest ocean trenches ring the Pacific as part of the so-called “Ring of Fire” that also includes active volcanoes and earthquake zones. Ocean trenches are a result of tectonic activity, which describes the movement of the Earth’s lithosphere. In particular, ocean trenches are a feature of convergent plate boundaries, where two or more tectonic plates meet. At many convergent plate boundaries, dense lithosphere melts or slides beneath less-dense lithosphere in a process called subduction, creating a trench. Ocean trenches occupy the deepest layer of the ocean, the hadalpelagic zone. The intense pressure, lack of sunlight, and frigid temperatures of the hadalpelagic zone make ocean trenches some of the most unique habitats on Earth.

  • The Next Generation of Ocean Exploration. Kelly Walsh Repeats Father’S Historic Dive, 60 Years Later, on Father’S Day Weekend
    From father to son; the next generation of ocean exploration. Kelly Walsh repeats father’s historic dive, 60 years later, on Father’s Day weekend DSSV Pressure Drop. Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench 200miles SW of Guam. June 20th, 2020 – Kelly Walsh, 52, today completed a historic dive to approximately 10,925m in the Challenger Deep. The dive location was the Western Pool, the same area that was visited by Kelly’s father, Captain Don Walsh, USN (Ret), PhD, who was the pilot of the bathyscaph ‘Trieste’ during the first dive to the Challenger Deep in 1960. Mr. Walsh’s 12- hour dive, coordinated by EYOS Expeditions, was undertaken aboard the deep-sea vehicle Triton 36000/2 ‘Limiting Factor” piloted by the owner of the vehicle Victor Vescovo, a Dallas, Texas based businessman and explorer. The expedition to the Challenger Deep is a joint venture by Caladan Oceanic, Triton Submarines and EYOS Expeditions. Mr. Vescovo and his team made headlines last year by completing a circumnavigation of the globe that enabled Mr. Vescovo to become the first person to dive to the deepest point of each of the worlds five oceans. The dives by father and son connect a circle of exploration history that spans 60 years. “It was a hugely emotional journey for me,” said Kelly Walsh aboard DSSV Pressure Drop, the expedition’s mothership. “I have been immersed in the story of Dad’s dive since I was born-- people find it fascinating. It has taken 60 years but thanks to EYOS Expeditions and Victor Vescovo we have now taken this quantum leap forward in our ability to explore the deep ocean.

  • History of Rolex
    HISTORY OF ROLEX Rolex’s status and identity are products of a history driven by a passion for innovation and a constant quest for excellence. A succession of pioneering achievements encompassing a watchmaking, industrial and human adventure, this story is interwoven with the history of the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch. Launched in 1926, the Oyster was the starting point for a collection of legendary watches. HISTORY OF ROLEX The success of Rolex is inextricably linked to the extraordinary spirit of enterprise of its founder, Hans Wilsdorf (1881-1960). Through his visionary genius and uncommon capacity to embrace all fields of the company’s activities – technology, communication, organization and distribution – and as the head of the company for more than 50 years, Hans Wilsdorf set the course for an adventure which has given rise to exceptional watches and an unparalleled brand. Today, his personality and his work continue to inspire the company and permeate its corporate culture. The entrepreneur’s influence is also evident in the aesthetics and principal characteristics of the watches that remain faithful to the original Oyster, as well as in Rolex’s ability to draw on its prodigious heritage to continuously advance towards new horizons. HANS WILSDORF AND HIS VISIONARY GENIUS The Rolex adventure began in the early 1900s. Born in Bavaria, Germany, Hans Wilsdorf started his career in watchmaking in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. In an era when pocket watches were the order of the day, he was quick to see the potential of the wristwatch for the 20th century, despite their not yet being very precise and being generally considered to be items of jewellery of particular appeal to women.

The parrot is no better; he is malevolent, too, but funny. Each decade has its own civil rights fight, and I truly hope we tackle this next. In many mental-health books mental hospitals are demonized and described as prisons and mental torture houses run by cruel doctors and orderlies. The system was so new that JHOD had to develop their own software for drawing bathymetric charts based on the SeaBeam digital data. Marine Geophysical Research.

In , researchers on RV Kilo Moana doing sonar mapping determined that it was 35,ft deep with a 72ft error. Underwater vents cause liquid sulfur and carbon dioxide to bubble up from the crescent-shaped vent. I will admit that this book was a little confusing at the beginning but when the parallels made themselves more evident, I really started enjoying the book.

  • Twenty Years After the •Œtriesteâ•Š Dive
    ARCHIVE PAPER Published in Feb/Mar 1980, Vol. 14, No. 1 Twenty Years After the "Trieste" Dive On January 23, at the Naval Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Navy held a special ceremony in commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the Bathyscaph Trieste dive. (See reports in the MTS Newsletters for December-January and February.) Dr. Don Walsh, MTS Council Member and Editor of the MTS Journal, was one of the two men who completed the original dive to a record depth of 35,800 feet into the Challenger Deep. The other man, of course, was Jacques Piccard, son of the Swiss physicist and inventor of the Bathyscaph. For those of you in or visiting WaShing- ton, the Bathyscaph will be on permanent display at the Naval Museum. On February 4, the Honorable Paul N. McCloskey, Jr. made the following appeal in the House of Representatives and included in the record Dr. Walsh's own account of the Trieste adventure. Both are reproduced here for the information and interest of our members. - The Managing Editor.
