There is a legend that the sunken ships in the ocean do not go to the bottom and hang at a certain depth, traveling as underwater "The Flying Dutchman", together with the ocean currents. Jules Verne in his novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" even described the hanging motionless in the water wreck, and wrecks allegedly rot, hanging freely in the water. Is this true, or ships still reach the bottom? The water pressure in the depths of the ocean really is enormous quantities. At a depth of
William Beebe and Otis Barton dove 923m (3,028 ft.) below the surface in a bathysphere, a spherical deep sea submersible. In 1960, Auguste Piccard, Jean Ernest-Jean Piccard, Dan Walsh, dove 10,916m (35,813 ft.) into the Challenger Deep of the Marianna trench, the deepest known point in the ocean, in the bathyscape Trieste (MarineBio). While there is a rich history that revolves around the study of marine biology, marine biologists today are still making new discoveries. The path to becoming a marine
5%. Only 5% of our ocean has been explored (Bardoe 208). Out if the 70% of the ocean on our Earth, we’ve only discovered 5% of it. Ocean exploration can help with groundbreaking medical advancements and can assist us in finding new species that may have extraordinary ability that humans can benefit from. It can also help us with weather predictions and play a large role as a major renewable energy source. Jacques Piccard, one of the few people who went into the deep sea, was actually the first one
Although more than two-thirds of the Earth is covered in water, there is still a general misunderstanding of the ocean by the public. This misunderstanding of wonderment and misunderstanding has led to movies portraying the ocean as a “final frontier” with tremendous, mythical beasts as demonstrated in the recently released movies of The Meg (2021) and Underwater (2022). Although, the most acclaimed works are based on real-life events such as Moby Dick and Jaws. In both of these books, the characters
In Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo, Joe Bonham is stranded in a hospital bed without anything but a brain. He lost everything fighting in World War I; literally everything, his limbs, his eyes, his nose, his mouth, and his life. All he has left is his memory. In the novel, technology is presented in some of Joe’s memories to show the difference between the intended purpose and the outcome of technology, suggesting people’s reliance on technology while it is actually dehumanizing and oppressing
three themes are demonstrated in a variety of ways at the Do Lung Bridge in what is regarded as one of the most significant scenes in the entire film. The scene at the bridge first fades in from black to reveal an anxious Willard trudging along a trench followed by a dazed Lance, tripping on the last of his acid. The scene is shot so that the cameras are deliberately level with the crouching soldiers and film close to the characters’ faces to help the audience feel as if they are actually in Vietnam

Neville Chamberlain once said. Trench Warfare was a common tactic used during World War I. Both the Allies and the Central powers used this type of warfare to try to compete with each other. It was often very bloody and resulted in a huge loss of life. Trenches were dug in two different ways, with a space of land in the middle. Many men died in this “no-man’s land.” Trench warfare was deadly, horribly inefficient, and brutal for the soldiers living there. Trench warfare was deadly because of all
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I am Albert George McGuire, Captain of the first Australian infantry battalion. On the 25th April 1915, we arrived in the port of Dardanelles. Part of the D squadron, we sailed up to the shore. I could tell that all the blokes were excited, and so was I. This had been my first time in a real ambush. My mate, Arthur Selman, sat next to me gripping his gun. I clearly remember his ghostly white knuckles reflecting the dim moonlight. Then they started shooting at us
understand the context of trench warfare. World War 1 was a time when advanced weapons and technology were invented. Weapons such as machine guns, artillery, tanks, and other long range military weapons were used at the opposing side. To defend against a wide use of artillery and other long range weapons, trench warfare was used by both the allied and central powers. Trench warfare was a very important factor in World War 1, not only because it would defend one’s own trench, but also attempt to attack
To start off, Big Bertha was a very large siege gun, known as a howitzer, used by the Germans during World War I. This howitzer was the most powerful at the time and was used to demolish enemy fortresses. When firing the Big Bertha, it is very important to know how to use quadratics so that you can fire the shell accurately over long distances. The quadratic formula can be used to find the maximum height and distance the shell can be fired. First off, the quadratic equation in standard form needs
In the artwork The Dance by the artist Andre Derain, and Seated Youth by the artist Wilhelm Lehmbruck demonstrate that that World War had an effect of art. Before the WWI, the art was lots of color and life in the art, and during/after the war the art became very dark and focused on the worst parts of life. In the first artwork, we see lots of happy and joyful emotions that come out in the colors and actions of the characters in the painting. The creator of the painting uses a lot of bright colors
“Imagine yourself in the pitch dark, after two or three days of wet, cold, hunger, sleeplessness, staggering down a trench, knee-deep in mud, carrying various burdens that almost equal your own body-weight” (Ellis, 48). This was the everyday life of the typical soldier involved in the World War I trench warfare. During WWI trench warfare was common. It began in September 1914 with the German army digging themselves in for a battle that would last what seemed like a life time for the soldiers involved

I had narrowly escaped the fighting. It didn’t take long for me to find my way taking cover behind a large thicket of trees. Quietly I’d run along the wood, following a long forgotten trail. If I kept going it would lead me to the woods. Ditching was punishable by death in the Imperial Army. But, so is everything else. Never had I ever thought this possible. I marched to my likely death, and watched the carnage ensue. The might of less than half of the Imperial Army rumbled unopposed. I charged with
