海洋或许是地球上最神秘莫测的地方,当人类不断向太空发起挑战的时代,海洋有多大多深依旧是一个困扰科学家的谜。现在科学家终于计算出它到底有多深,总共有多少水。科学家利用卫星测量技术为上述两个问题提供了答案——3682.2米的平均深度和13.32亿立方千米的总容积。在深度方面,最新数据比此前的数值少21到51米。有趣的是,这个通过现代高科技手段获得的数值竟然只比一个若干世纪前的测量结果少1.2个百分点,从一个侧面反映了原始测量方法的高度精确性。早在
The oceans may be the most mysterious place on earth. When humans are constantly challenging the outer space, the depth of the sea is still a riddle that puzzles scientists. Now scientists finally figure out how deep it is and how much water it has. Scientists use satellite-based surveying techniques to answer the above two questions - an average depth of 3682.2 meters and a total volume of 1,332 million cubic kilometers. In depth, the latest figures are 21 to 51 meters below the previous figure. What is interesting is that the value obtained by modern high-tech means is only 1.2% less than that of a few centuries ago, which reflects the high accuracy of the original measurement method from one aspect. already
