Deep ocean minerals not only by its mineral density but cold temperature, cleanliness and trace elements. DOW is present at depths of between 250 and 1500 meters. This deep ocean current moves very slowly under the influence of density and temperature gradients. The high mineral density is attributed to the depth related pressure and the change in temperature from 20 °C+ at the surface to 8 °C at 600 meters depth generates the movement of this layer. "Very deep ocean water" has been discovered in a number of troughs in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Depths can range from 1500 meters to 15
Deep sea true...(Below 200 meters) lies the largest habitat on earth. In 1960, the Bathyscaphe "Trieste" descended to the bottom of the Mariana Trench near Guam, at , the deepest known spot in any ocean. If Mount Everest (8,848 metres) were submerged there, its peak would be more than a mile beneath the surface. The "Trieste" was retired, and for a while the Japanese remote-operated vehicle (ROV) Kaikō was the only vessel capable of reaching this depth. It was lost at sea in 2003. In May and June 2009, the hybrid-ROV (HROV) "Nereus" returned to the Challenger Deep for a series of
