How the Ocean Floor Got Filled with Riches

The video explores the formation of valuable mineral deposits on the ocean floor, including massive sulfide deposits at hydrothermal vents, cobalt-rich crusts, and manganese nodules. These deposits result from complex geochemical processes over millions of years. While these resources are abundant, their extraction poses environmental challenges, highlighting the need for careful consideration of their impact on ocean ecosystems.
