Fact 4
Mountains in the ocean
Jonah 2:5-6 NLT version
v5 I sank beneath the waves,and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head. v6 I sank down to the very roots of the mountains.
"Modern" measurements of ocean depths greatly increased in the 19th century, when deep-sea line soundings (bathymetric surveys) were routinely made in the Atlantic and Caribbean. In 1855, a bathymetric chart published by U.S. Navy Lieutenant Matthew Maury revealed the first evidence of underwater mountains in the central Atlantic (which he called "Middle Ground"). This was later confirmed by survey ships laying the trans-Atlantic telegraph cable. Our picture of the ocean floor greatly sharpened after World War I (1914-18), when echo-sounding devices -- primitive sonar systems -- began to measure ocean depth by recording the time it took for a sound signal (commonly an electrically generated "ping") from the ship to bounce off the ocean floor and return. Time graphs of the returned signals revealed that the ocean floor was much more rugged than previously thought. Such echo-sounding measurements clearly demonstrated the continuity and roughness of the submarine mountain chain in the central Atlantic (later called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) suggested by the earlier bathymetric measurements.
Fact 5
Earth's core is molten which also means melted according to Webster dictionary
Job 28:5
Food is grown on the earth above, but down below,the earth is melted as by fire. NLT version
According to the University of Cambridge
Discovery of the outer core: 1906
British geologist Richard Oldham discovered the Earth’s outer core. Earthquake waves interacting with this layer showed that the outer core is liquid, while the mantle is solid.
Discovery of the inner core: 1936
Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann detected an earthquake wave bouncing off the inner core. She suggested it might be caused by a change from a liquid to a solid core.
Fact6
Springs of the sea.
Job 38:16
Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? NIV version
Hydrothermal vents — hot springs in the deep sea — were first discovered in 1977. The mineral-laden water attracts abundant life, despite extreme temperatures and a lack of sunlight.
