What is at the bottom of the ocean?

My name is Sara and my research question for science is what is at the bottom of the ocean or what we could possibly find at the bottom of the ocean. So, about 95% of the ocean is unexplored and to this day no one knows what that 95% 0f the ocean has or if the creatures of that part could possibly be dangerous. a Blue whale, which is the biggest animal on earth can go until the well lit zone of the ocean which is approximately about 330 feet deep. At 831 feet, it is known to be the deepest free dive in history, and down there the pressure is so intense that it could destroy and crush most humans lungs, but whales could possibly manage diving all the way down to 1,640 feet down where they hunt squids. A little farther than 3,280 feet down, it is known to be deep enough that the sunlight cannot reach it so it would be pitch black. A lot of animals cant see down there, like the eyeless shrimps that live down at 7,000 feet where the temperature is just a few degrees above from freezing. At 20,000 feet, we would reach the area for the oecans deepest trenches like the mariana trench. The mariana trench is about 11,033 meters (36,201 feet), so no human would survive down there obviously. So in conclusion, 95% of the ocean hasn’t been searched or explored so no one knows what is down there yet.
