The oil and gas industry and trade groups are quick to point out that chemicals typically make up just 0.5 and 2.0% of the total volume of the fracturing fluid. When millions of gallons of water are being used, however, the amount of chemicals per fracking operation is very large.
How deep can an ocean get? Real Deep ;) Actually, it can get to 35,838 feet. That's how deep Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench off the Marianas Island in the Pacific Ocean gets. The U.S. Navy su â¦ bmersible Trieste reached it in 1960. That's about a mile deeper than Mount Everest is high. And that's real deep.
Water pressures in the deep is one of the many phenomena researchers must content with when exploring deep-sea sites. The ocean is deep. If we shaved off all the continents and filled the trenches in the oceans with the earth from the continents, the entire globe would be covered with water about 2 miles in depth. The average ocean depth is 12,566 feet about 3800 meters. The greatest ocean depth is 36,200 feet over 11,000 meters!
