The bottom of the ocean is gonna be sand or dirt or rock. Possibly all of them. The water will actually be sitting above the bottom.
Real facts: The gnarliest thing about the first submersible to touch the bottom of the Marianas Trench was only down for like, 30 minutes IIRC, because it had a glass porthole and they were unsure of its stability (even though it was hella thick and had a pretty small diameter), but they wanted it to be able to observe what was down there. But when they hit the ground, it kicked up a cloud of silt and they were unable to see anything for the whole duration they were down there. Oof.
Is that so? The bottom of a glass is glass. But the ocean is not the glass; it’s the water in the glass. You wouldn’t say that the bottom of the water in the glass is made of glass.
I don’t know if anyone’s ever been down there again. I vaguely remember a headline in the last 5 or so years that said someone was trying to, though I don’t know if they have yet.
Wrong.

Would you wanna look out and see a wasteland of trash, dirt and stuff?
