Ans
Titanic lies in the abyssal zone, a part of the ocean about 2 5 miles below the sur ace Because the
condit ons in this zone are so harsh, ew creatures ive here No light makes it to the sea floor, and
temperatures hover around a chilly 35 degrees Fahrenheit
The conditions in this zone also make it tough for a shipwreck Accord ng to Dwight Coleman, a
sc entist and member of Ballard s crew, because the pressure of the water here is so strong, it s pushing
Titanic into the ocean floor It s ike there s an elephant stand ng on every square inch, he said
The high leve s of salt in the ocean also play a role in the ship s breakdown Much of the Titanic s
made from iron When iron is placed in water, it will corrode over time However, when salt is present :Xlj\ <]]\Zk
in the water, that results in the metal corroding a lot faster

Human visitors cause damage too Markings show that submersibles have landed on the ship s deck,
causing it to break
And more than 6,000 artifacts, like coins and silverware, have been removed
