Being combo season and all, i have always been curious what is at the bottom of the deep ocean. Do megladons still chill down there? Just frightening to think about all of the different things that could be at the ocean floor (including a Malaysian plane)

Anyone else curious what the depths of our earth hold and why we have only explored about 10% of it?

Why do super deep fish have to look all extra horror-filmy?

so in a place of extremes, the water temp is average

Probably.

If it was super cold, it would freeze. If it was hot, it would rise. Unless around a geological cause of constant heating, I would imagine it is cold but not some super cold temperature

After 600ft the temp is barely above freezing, but consistent to the bottom

except at thermal vents, of course!

i would file that under extremely cold, being as you could only be in in a couple minutes before hypothermia sets in

Just spitballin' here, but couldn't the immense pressure change the properties of the "water" at that depth, allowing it to actually be colder than the normal freezing point at sea level and 1.0 atm but still remain in a liquid state? Plus, salt water freezes slightly below the regular freezing point of water, anyway. I'm guessing it's a weird soupy sea of cold coldness.
