I think this question is very dependent on who you ask personally I dont think its dying out but I definitely think it's less of a key aspect of society then it ever was. I think this because being apart of the the younger generation we have been taught to question everything, and religion doesn't always have the answers nor does it line up with alot of morals that people have.
i don't know this is just my opinion I hope it helps!!
Ocean colonization or ocean colonisation is the theory and practice of permanent human settlement of oceans. Such settlements may be seasteads floating on the surface of the water, or exist as underwater habitats secured to the ocean floor, or in an intermediate position.
All of those are included in the earth's hydrosphere.
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the edges of the plates. ... When plates move apart, they produce new ocean floor as magma from the mantle rises up through volcanoes and deposits new rock along the plate boundaries. In some areas plates slide alongside each other, neither creating nor destroying land.
