Underwater

Underwater refers to the region below the surface of water where the water exists in a natural feature (called a body of water) such as an ocean, sea, lake, pond, or river.

Extent

Three quarters of the planet Earth is covered by water. A majority of the planet's solid surface is abyssal plain, at depths between 4,000 and 5,500 metres (13,100 and 18,000 ft) below the surface of the oceans. The solid surface location on the planet closest to the centre of the orb is the Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench at a depth of 10,924 metres (35,840 ft). Although a number of human activities are conducted underwater—such as research, scuba diving for work or recreation, or even underwater warfare with submarines, this very extensive environment on planet Earth is hostile to humans in many ways and therefore little explored. But it can be explored by sonar, or more directly via manned or autonomous submersibles. The ocean floors have been surveyed via sonar to at least a coarse resolution; particularly-strategic areas have been mapped in detail, in the name of detecting enemy submarines, or aiding friendly ones, though the resulting maps may still be classified.

Underwater

We start to run before we crawl
Run until we fall!
Well take a piece of me, take my eyes
Slow me down and watch me go!
Pre-Chorus:
But if you see through eyes like mine,
That's the fading memories
The hollow world you keep inside
Till we can rise again!
Chorus:
We know how it feels to be
Numb inside in underwater
Know now the enemy
Is alive in undercover.
Make peace with me, free my mind!
And wrap my head around this life and realize
Pre-Chorus:
But if you see through eyes like mine,
That's the fading memories
The hollow world you keep inside
Till we can rise again!
Chorus:
We know how it feels to be
Numb inside in underwater
Know now the enemy
Is alive in undercover.
Before we crawl on
Until we fought!
Pre-Chorus:
But if you see through eyes like mine,
That's the fading memories
The hollow world you keep inside
Till we can rise again!
Chorus:
We know how it feels to be
Numb inside in underwater
Know now the enemy
Is alive in undercover.
Chorus:
We know how it feels to be
Numb inside in underwater
Know now the enemy
Is alive in undercover.
Before we crawl,

Alpha Centauri B is the most brilliant object in the sky and the other dazzling object is Alpha Centauri A. Our own Sun is visible to the upper right.
