According to experts, 3 billion tons of seawater disappearing each year is linked to a mysterious rumble emanating from 10,000 meters below the world’s deepest trench.
With the rapid advancement of human technology, many areas that were previously inaccessible are now gradually being revealed. The ocean is filled with countless mysteries for humanity. While in the past, humans could only dive a few hundred meters into the sea, they can now reach the Mariana Trench, the deepest point on Earth at 11,034 meters.
The depth of the Mariana Trench makes it a crucial location for the exchange of warm and cold water between oceans. When temperatures fluctuate, these fluids move through the oceans, creating circulation.
The Mariana Trench is considered a key component of the deep water cycle. Deep water is a mass of water located deep in the ocean, separated from surface water and circulating between oceans. According to scientists’ observations, the seawater consumed by the Mariana Trench may be linked to this cycle. It could also be part of a deep water mass originating from Antarctica. This deep water circulates through the global deep water cycle and eventually enters the Mariana Trench.
The Mariana Trench may also be related to biological activities in the ocean. The distribution and migration of marine organisms are influenced by various environmental factors, such as water temperature, nutrients, and ocean currents. Seawater consumed by the Mariana Trench may contain a significant amount of communities, microorganisms, and organic matter. Studying these organisms could help us better understand the role of the Mariana Trench and its ecosystem.
However, as scientists studied the Mariana Trench, they discovered that up to 3 billion tons of seawater are “consumed” by the Mariana Trench each year. Moreover, the Mariana Trench has existed for over 6,000 years, meaning that tens of trillions of tons of seawater have been drawn down into it. This is indeed a staggering figure.

The phenomenon of the Mariana Trench “consuming” seawater is indeed a normal geographical occurrence, but the amount of water lost is so large that it astonishes scientists. Strangely, after being consumed, the sea level does not drop but instead rises.
Along with this, they also accidentally discovered mysterious rumblings coming from beneath the Mariana Trench at a depth of 10,000 meters. These sounds are quite terrifying; they are loud and intermittent, very similar to sounds in horror movies that instill fear. The strange sounds sometimes resemble whale calls, and at other times, they sound like roaring waves.
Could the disappearance of seawater be related to these rumblings? Is there something terrifying beneath the Mariana Trench? Initially, scientists believed there might be some kind of giant sea monster beneath the Mariana Trench, but the water pressure there is too high, and there is no food, so large organisms cannot survive.
After three years of using exploratory machinery, scientists realized that the rumblings beneath the Mariana Trench are indeed related to the seawater being “consumed.” The sheer volume of seawater drawn into the Mariana Trench has also caused the strange rumbling. Furthermore, the Mariana Trench’s accelerated rate of seawater consumption is due to excessive human exploitation of underground resources.
Additionally, human activities such as resource extraction, deforestation, and excessive livestock farming have led to global warming. This phenomenon causes ice to melt, increasing the amount of water flowing into the sea, which raises sea levels even though the Mariana Trench absorbs 3 billion tons of seawater annually.

While scientists have discovered the source of the strange rumblings beneath the Mariana Trench, the consequences of this phenomenon are alarming. There are currently more than one trench that consumes seawater similar to the Mariana Trench on Earth. If too much seawater infiltrates, it could destabilize the internal structure of the Earth’s crust.
Moreover, scientists believe that the seawater that penetrates inside the Earth will not remain there. Instead, it will return to the surface through various means such as volcanic eruptions, landslides, and mudslides… This will also increase geological disasters on Earth, and humanity will have to face even more consequences caused by its actions.
