The unprecedented achievements after the search MH370

The results obtained after the search MH370 can be very helpful for scientists.

Detailed seabed maps were made during the search of MH370 recently announced by Geoscience Australia on July 19. These maps can help reinforce the knowledge of rich seafood and prehistoric movements of the continent south of the Earth.

The search for missing aircraft bearing the MH370 number in the Indian Ocean ended in January 2017. The 120,000-square-kilometer search area has underwater mountains wider than Mount Everest and a valley of hundreds of kilometers long containing volcanoes.

According to Charitha Pattiaratchi, professor of oceanography at the University of Western Australia, the information gathered during the search MH370 provides fishermen, oceanographers and geologists with unprecedented details about the area. this area.

Pattiaratchi told Reuters: " The map shows the position of many sea mountains, which will attract many international fishermen to this area."

High-value fish species such as tuna, toothed fish, orange bream, and grouper are thought to be concentrated near the sea below, where plankton swim in light currents.

Pattiaratchi added that the position of the sea mountain also helps to model the impact of tsunamis in the area, because these mountains help to reduce the energy of tsunamis, and can change people's understanding. about the separation of the ancient supercontinent Gondwana.

In addition, the data in the search MH370 includes three-dimensional seabed terrain model and survey information of the sea depth.

While searching for MH370, many wrecks were discovered.

"It is estimated that only 10-15% of the world's oceans are surveyed with the technology used in the search for MH370. This makes this area one of the areas that have been reproduced in a thorough map. most in the ocean, " said Stuart Minchin, director of environmental geology at Geoscience Australia.

Australia does not rule out continued search for MH370 but will only continue when there is "credible evidence" of the aircraft's location.

"No new information has been discovered about the specific location of the aircraft and the search for water remains suspended," Australian Transport Minister Darren Chester said on July 19.

Malaysia Airlines aircraft disappeared in March 2014 on the road from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people. The location of MH370 is still one of the largest aviation mysteries in the world.
