What's Under the Sea?

This week, my reading group and also another reading group in my class were to do a digital activity on everything we learnt about Under The Sea, and things surrounding that topic.
Things I learnt.
I learnt that humans have only mapped 3% of the sea floor! The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean. It is around the Mariana Islands. In the Mariana Trench there are some amazing animals, such as: The Dumbo Octopus, Blind/No Eyed Shrimp and the Barrleye Fish, Now, the dumbo Octopus is called that because it's tentacles look like Dumbo's ears. Did you know, there are things underwater like volcanoes? They are called Black Smokers. This is because when they "erupt" they spew out hot black gas. These Black Smokers help some creatures under the water live, like the Blind/No eyed shrimp, because they like to hang around the heat. Did you know, you could put Mt. Everest in the Mariana Trench and there would still be two Kilometres left at the bottom. This is because the Mariana Trench is eleven Kilometres deep and Mt. Everest is nine Kilometres. Did you know, that the water pressure down that deep would crush everything in your body and you'd die instantly? You can only survive down there with a specially made watercraft.
Now, this is my infographic that I have made on all this information.
