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.
How Deep Under the Sea Have Humans Gone Almost 7 miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean lies the worldâs deepest point, the Challenger Deep. Has anyone ever ventured there? The Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific near Guam, lies at a depth of 35,840 feet and could easily hold the 29,029-foot Mount Everest. The Deep was discovered in 1875, and people have been attempting to precisely measure its depth ever since. The first manned mission was made in 1960 by Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard and U.S. Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh in the customized bathyscaph Trieste.
