The Hidden World of Extreme Ocean Depths: Life and Pressures in the Trenches https://deepseanews.com/2023/12/the-hidden-world-of-extreme-ocean-depths-life-and-pressures-in-the-trenches/
"Among #invertebrates, several reach trench depths, including the sea cucumber Myriotrochus bruuni at 10,710 in the #MarianaTrench, the extremely abundant amphipod Hirondellea gigas at 10,897 m in the #ChallengerDeep, the isopod Macrostylis species at 10,710 in the Mariana Trench... The deepest known #vertebrate is the hadal #snailfish Pseudoliparis swirei found at 7966 m."

Day 21 of the #30DayMapChallenge was #Raster.
It occurred to me recently that I haven't done a lot of playing with #QGIS for this year's challenge, so I decided to combine that with this data of the #MarianaTrench and create a #contour map.
It took me a few tries as the trench is so vast that I had to play around a lot with the intervals at which contours were shown in order to have a map that produced anything readable.
Most maps have contour lines for every ten metres, with the 50 and 100m intervals slightly thicker. The pink image below has lines only at every 100m, and had to be zoomed in quite far before you can distinguish any features. The other image has purple contours at every 500m, and white contours at every 1km, which just highlights how deep the trench actually is.
What a fascinating area of the planet.

#Microplastics have contaminated every corner of the planet, from the top of #MountEverest to the depths of the #MarianaTrench, and research has shown they are in many humans’ blood and heart tissue and the placentas of unborn babies. They cause harm in human cells in the laboratory at levels known to be eaten by people via food.

Better yet, wear clothes made of shorn #wool, #hemp, #bamboo, #flax, or #OrganicCotton.
How do you tackle #microplastics? Start with your washing machine.
Simple filters could help remove #microfiber pollution from your #laundry. But experts say a broader portfolio of solutions is needed to address the problem.by Saqib Rahim, Apr 19, 2023
"As environmental challenges go, microfiber pollution has come from practically out of nowhere. It was only a decade or so ago that scientists first suspected our #clothing, increasingly made of #synthetic materials like #polyester and #nylon, might be major contributors to the global #plastic problem."Today a growing body of science suggests the tiny strands that slough off #clothes are everywhere and in everything. By one estimate, they account for as much as one-third of all microplastics released to the ocean. They’ve been found on #MountEverest and in the #MarianaTrench, along with tap #water, #plankton, shrimp guts, and our poo."
