The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world?s oceans and the deepest location on the surface of Earths crust . If Mount Everest is the tallest point on the Earth at 8,850m ,were set in Mariana Trench ,there would still be 2,183m of water left about it.

It is really disappointing? to know that the part which covers 75% of Earth’s ?surface has turned so polluted due to human activities in a few years and Our scientific advancements need the sacrifice of so many animal and plant species . Why don’t people understand that their scientific advancements is threatening their own existence !!

As it is telling so much about oceans that how it is important to us and why is it important to us so I think this information that I just read and maybe you all just read is just so important that if you have skipped something up you should go back and read it again

The World should take some strong decisions regarding this problem.
As most of the life on Earth exists in World’s oceans.
Well, cleaning the ocean can take a lot of time and money.
But we should take care of our Mother Earth.
Before the Sun destroys it after 7 – 7.5 billion years ago.
When the Sun becomes a Red giant and swallows Mercury and Venus.
And Earth 1.8 times closer than Mercury’s orbit and our Mother Earth turns into a Venus.

If we go on polluting the ocean, we are creating
threat to our own species. If the sea creatures die means
the total eco system is destroying. We are also a part in
this eco system. We should realise this and take an oath to
avoid plastic. Save Mother Earth!
