Discovery of the mysterious 'coral forest' area over 1000 years old, 2,300m deep in the seabed

The ocean is always hidden that people must always discover. Because, we can only discover about 5% of secrets in the ocean.

The fact that our human knowledge of the ocean is quite small. So there are jokes that "we discover extraterrestrial things like the moon or Mars more than the ocean on Earth."

Scientists estimate that these coral reefs are up to a hundred years old.

Fortunately, according to the Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (USA), people are gradually discovering the ocean secrets with the NOAAS Okeanos Explorer . This is the only ship funded exclusively to discover more mysteries from the ocean.

This coral reef is growing along an undersea ridge.

Recently, Okeanos has conducted discoveries in the area of ​​the Gulf of Mexico. And believe it, it found a dense "coral forest" area , at depths of up to 2,300m west of Florida (USA).

Scientists estimate that these coral reefs are up to a hundred years old, or even more than a thousand years old.

However, what surprised science is not only that. This coral reef is growing along an undersea ridge, lined up in rows, and this is really an arrangement that brings a lot of advantages.

Coral forest " dense, at depths of up to 2,300m west of Florida (USA).

For example, they can absorb nutrients according to the flow of water. In addition, combined with other factors such as geology and available food around them, they grow to a great extent.

The discovery of this reef makes scientists realize that nature - especially the sea floor - contains many miracles. It becomes the driving force for people to search in even deeper, more wonderful regions.
