What would happen if you sunk to the bottom of the ocean?

The pressure from the water would push in on the person’s body, causing any space that’s filled with air to collapse. (The air would be compressed.) So, the lungs would collapse. The nitrogen would bind to the parts of the body that need to use oxygen, and the person would literally suffocate from the inside out.

What would happen if you put Mount Everest in the Mariana Trench?

It is 11,034 meters (36,201 feet) deep, which is almost 7 miles. Tell students that if you placed Mount Everest at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the peak would still be 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) below sea level. Show students NOAA’s Mariana Trench animation.

What happens to dead bodies in the ocean?

Putrefaction and scavenging creatures will dismember the corpse in a week or two and the bones will sink to the seabed. There they may be slowly buried by marine silt or broken down further over months or years, depending on the acidity of the water.

What would happen if you fell to the bottom of the ocean?

(2) There’s no air. You can’t breath at the bottom of the ocean. If you can’t breath, your body won’t stay alive for more than about 30 minutes. (Although you’d lose consciousness after about 5.) (3) The water pressure is very high. The pressure from the water would push in on the person’s body, causing any space that’s filled with air to collapse.

What are the characteristics of titanium?

Where the element is most commonly found in nature, and how it is sourced commercially. The symbol is representative of the Titans of Greek mythology, after which the element is named. It is based on early votive offering figurines. A hard, shiny and strong metal. Titanium is as strong as steel but much less dense.

What is the resistance of titanium to corrosion?

Pure titanium has excellent resistance to corrosion and is used widely in the chemical industries. There is a passive oxide film which makes it particularly resistant to corrosion in oxidising solutions.

How is titanium oxide made commercially?

Titanium is produced commercially by reducing titanium (IV) chloride with magnesium. Titanium (IV) oxide is produced commercially by either the ‘sulfate process’ or the ‘chloride process’, both of which use the mineral ilmenite as a starting material.
