"China is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is an underground ocean buried under the Tarim Basin in China!"
A geologist in the United States made a shocking statement, because the existence of an underground ocean will not only have a great impact on the continent's environment, but also have a profound impact on the continent's energy and transportation.
So what is the matter with the words of this geological expert?
And how did it discover that there was an underground ocean buried beneath the Tarim Basin?
1. The underground ocean under the Tarim Basin.
The Tarim Basin is the largest basin in the northwest of the mainland, and one of the largest oil and gas basins in the mainland.
Originally, the Tarim Basin was only considered to be an ordinary basin in the northwest of the mainland, until geologists on the mainland discovered that there may be a huge underground ocean in the Tarim Basin when they studied the geological structure of the Tarim Basin.
Because in the geological structure of the Tarim Basin, geologists have found that it has a very special geological structure, and this geological structure can only be seen on the bottom of the Indian Ocean, that is, the structure with sea ridges, so geologists speculate that there must be a huge underground reservoir under the Tarim Basin, which has also aroused widespread concern among scientists.
From the perspective of geophysics, when studying the Tarim Basin, it was found that there are many abnormal signals in the underground of the basin, and these abnormal signals only appear when there is a large-scale water body, so geologists are more and more convinced that there is a huge water body under the Tarim Basin.
Since then, it has also attracted extensive attention from scientists, and some scientific research teams have carried out scientific research and exploration in the Tarim Basin.
In 2006, the Continental National Petroleum Corporation conducted a large-scale geophysical exploration in the Tarim Basin, which is also the most advanced geophysical exploration technology in the mainland.
Finally, the data from exploration show that there is a huge ridge under the Tarim Basin, and the length of the ridge reaches 500 kilometers and the width reaches 100 kilometers, which is also the largest ridge found on land on the mainland.
In 2008, with the continuous progress of geophysical exploration technology, after the second exploration of the Tarim Basin, it was found that there is a huge sea ridge under the Tarim Basin, and the length of this ridge has reached 1,000 kilometers and the width has reached 500 kilometers, which is also larger than the area of the Ordos Basin, the largest basin in the mainland.
As a result, geologists have redefined the geological structure of the Tarim Basin, divided the geological structure of the Tarim Basin, and believed that there is a huge underground ocean under the Tarim Basin.
2. The existence of the underground ocean.
In the geological structure of the basin, there is a deep underground ridge, because the Tarim Basin is located in the arid region of the mainland, so the local groundwater resources are very scarce, which also leads to the local ecological environment is very harsh in the local arid climate.
Especially after the large-scale oil exploitation on the mainland, the local groundwater resources are even more scarce, which also causes damage to the local ecological environment to a certain extent.
So after the discovery of the existence of huge underground reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, this also provides a major positive news for the arid region.
If there is an underground ocean beneath the Tarim Basin, it will provide a large amount of water resources for the arid region, thus improving the local ecological environment.
At the same time, in the geological structure of the basin, the existence of sea ridges also provides a very good geological structure condition for the accumulation of petroleum resources.
At the same time, the existence of the underground ocean may also have a very large impact on the energy of the continent, because in the evolution of the earth, the earth's energy is released from the interior of the earth, so the geological reserves of oil on the continent have entered a stable period, and with the continuous increase of oil production on the mainland, it is expected to enter a period of depletion in the next 20 years.
If there is an underground ocean in the Tarim Basin, it will be of great help to the continent's energy, because there are abundant thermal energy resources in the underground ocean, so the existence of the underground ocean will provide the continent with rich thermal energy resources.
At the same time, the development and utilization of the underground ocean in the Tarim Basin still needs to face great challenges.
Because the Tarim Basin is located in the northwest of the mainland, in the case of lack of fresh water in the local area, if the development and utilization of the underground ocean is carried out, a large amount of water is needed, which may also cause great damage to the local ecological environment.
Therefore, in the development and utilization of the underground ocean, it is necessary to formulate a scientific plan.
While developing and utilizing the underground ocean, it is necessary to protect the local ecological environment.
At the same time, more scientific exploration and verification of the existence of underground oceans are needed before the existence of underground oceans can be finally confirmed.
In 2008, seismic wave detection was carried out in the Tarim Basin, which is currently the most advanced exploration technology, and underground sampling in the Tarim Basin was also analyzed.
In 2010, the water body under the Tarim Basin was sampled and analyzed, and the nature of the water body was finally confirmed to be seawater.
III. Conclusion
Does the existence of subterranean oceans have an impact on climate change?
Does the presence of an underground ocean have an impact on the circulation and quality of groundwater?
This requires us to conduct more scientific research exploration and verification.
Is there underground seawater in the local area, and how to develop and utilize it reasonably?
These problems require us to conduct more research and exploration in order to formulate a more scientific and reasonable development and utilization plan.
