Question

What is the quickest and easiest way to sample the sea floor?

Answer 1

collect some sand in a bottle

Answer 2

the sea floor, not the sand. im talking about what machine to use. @emmigrace222

Answer 3

If you want to know what machine to use, shouldn't you have put this question in a more specific section? Or at least specify that you mean a machine? Emmigrace is technically correct.

Answer 4

if the question was that simply i would have not needed help @Robert-O the sea floor and a beach is very different.

Answer 5

Yeah, but a seafloor also contains sand (most of the time) and water and plants etc. Maybe you wouldn't use a bottle, but the idea is essentially the same. Go down, grab a sample and leave.

Answer 6

its mostly sediment. im this is taking middle of the ocean where no one has every been deal. your not helping @Robert-O you are just repeating someone else's incorrect idea

Answer 7

Well if it were "where no one has ever been" I would suggest using a remotely controlled submarine-like vehicle to grab a sample. And I am trying my best to help. You just need to be a little more clear. (by the way, I hope everything is okay, and there are no hard feelings)

Answer 8

Was the answer correct katlove14?

Answer 9

sending divers out on a boat and they swim down and collect it. they swim around 150 feet down
@Robert-O

Answer 10

That was correct?

Answer 11

i think so. thats what google told me

Answer 12

Well, I guess it would work. But 150 feet isn't "were no one has ever been" I thought you meant something more like a place where the pressure would be too much for a human being.

Answer 13

you were right.. it was submarine. i found a link that had my exact question in it.

Answer 14

Oh, that's good! Now we know what the answer was! By the way, what class is this for? And did it have options?

Answer 15

its for oceanography. an online class. nope. every question i have to write a paragraph. its a college prep class.

Answer 16

Oceanography? That's great!

Answer 17

im sorry i said you were incorrect. ive just been working on that question forever and wanted to get it over with

Answer 18

im really enjoying it. im learning a lot.

Answer 19

Yeah, oceanography is really cool. And don't worry about saying I was incorrect. It happens. The important thing is we figured it out! :D

Answer 20

;)

Answer 21

By the way, how did you do the thing where it notified me that you said something to me?

Answer 22

If that makes sense.

Answer 23

i tagged you. do the @ sign and then tpe in there username. try it with my name

Answer 24

@katlove14 Oh, I get it now. I put the @ and I started typing your name, then it appeared. So this notifies you every time?

Answer 25

yep

Answer 26

i typically do it if that person isnt viewing my question anymore

Answer 27

Well that's useful. So if I wanted the help of a specific person, I could just call them over?

Answer 28

i would think so. but i havent tried it

Answer 29

Oh. I think I will dedicate quite a bit of time to figuring out how this all works. :)

Answer 30

its a handy trick to know. you can do it on all social networks, facebook, twitter, and instagram

Answer 31

:| I don't use any of those so... I guess it won't really help me. :P

Answer 32

haha thats ok...

Answer 33

Hey, and could you tell me what that medal thing was?

Answer 34

since you had the correct answer i tagged that you were correct and it gave you a medal. its just bragging rights really. you dont get anything

Answer 35

Oh. Makes sense. So that smartscore thingy went up. Does it have anything to do with the other thing? And if so, is it also just bragging rights?

Answer 36

yep. it shows that you know what your talking about

Answer 37

Actually, giving someone a medal does do something. The more medals you have, the more tytles you can get. It also brings up your smartscore.

Answer 38

*titles

Answer 39

Typo :o

Answer 40

Hm, I guess titles are just more bragging rights? ;)

Answer 41

yep. you don't get anything else

Answer 42

The titles let others know that they can rely on you. They would be able to tell who is really giving a good answer or not.

Answer 43

yeah but who really looks at that? i dont...

Answer 44

I don't know how any of this works so... :|

Answer 45

thats ok. you'll figure it out

Answer 46

You don't have to find it. You will see it right with the person's name. Ever saw the name "Big Man On The Hippocampus" when you are talking to Abhisar?

Answer 47

Who is abhisar?

Answer 48

i have no idea.. but i have to go work in my class again bye @Robert-O ;)

Answer 49

Bye @katlove14 See you around I guess. :)

Answer 50

Oh you will meet him soon, he is one of the best biology answerers here.

Answer 51

Oh, well maybe one day I will. And maybe one day I will answer questions as good as he does.

Answer 52

Well I am going to leave now. See you guys around. :)
