The seabed at Hunterston, located on the west coast of Scotland, varies in depth but is generally around 30 to 50 meters deep in the immediate vicinity of the coast. However, depths can change due to underwater topography and specific locations. For precise measurements, detailed hydrographic surveys would be required.

So why is it dark on the seabed if water is transparent?
Light is absorbed and scattered as it passes through water, with longer wavelengths like red light being absorbed first. By the time light reaches the seabed, only blue and green wavelengths are left, resulting in a bluish tint. Additionally, sunlight doesn't penetrate very deep into the ocean, making the seabed appear dark.
How deep did the ship sink into the mud titanic?
Titanic's bow, which sunk in about 5-6 minutes like the stern, crashed into the seabed with such force that it sank about 60 feet into the mud in one second.
How far down is the deep seabed?
The deep seabed, often referred to as the abyssal plain, generally lies at depths of about 3,000 to 6,000 meters (approximately 10,000 to 20,000 feet) below the ocean's surface. This region constitutes the majority of the ocean floor and is characterized by its flat, sediment-covered landscape. The exact depth can vary depending on the specific ocean basin and geographical features.

Challenger Deep, the deepest known point in the Earth's seabed, is about 36,070 feet below sea level, located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean.

A canyon on the ocean floor at which the crust bends downward is called?
A submarine canyon is a deep, steep-sided valley cut into the seabed of the continental slope, often formed by underwater currents. It can be a conduit for sediment transport from the shelf to the deep ocean.
Why did the Japanese tsunami get so high?
The Tsunami (and most Tsunamis) are caused by earthquakes that take place deep under the seabed. The greater the severity of the earthquake, the larger, and more devastating, a Tsunami will be.
Discuss ways that seabed protection helps some corals.?
If the seabed is destroyed, the coral cannot get nutrients to live.
How long does it take to get to the bottom of Challenger Deep?
It takes approximately 2 to 2.5 hours to descend to the bottom of Challenger Deep, the deepest known point in the Earth's seabed, using a submersible. The return trip to the surface takes a similar amount of time.
