Answer:
Deep ocean exploration is all about investigating its geology i.e physical and chemical along with biological conditions on the ocean floor where sunlight cannot reach. There has been an interest in the deep ocean due to scientific communities and for industrial purpose. Exploration is carried by submarine and remotely operated vehicles at about 300m to 1000m. Analysis of ocean floor had found a huge concentration of mineral deposits such as manganese, copper, cobalt, gold, zinc etc.
The mining is carried out by using hydraulic pumping or bucket type excavator and are processed on ground industries. Deep-ocean mining has not been able to reach its full potential due to the high cost of operating and environmental damage.

Lake Michigan has a great Impact on the Temperature of Milwaukee as it helps to drop the Temperature up to about 4degrees.
Milwaukee is located along the shores of lake Michigan, which has helped to calm down Milwaukee's Temperatures.Lake Michigan does this by attracting most of the impact of the sun and releasing water Vapor through evaporation to the Atmosphere,this will in turn help to reduce the climatic Temperature around Milwaukee.
That would be the focus. The focus is indeed the point inside the earth where an earthquake takes place as well as the point inside the crust where the pressure is released. The area on the Earth's surface directly above the focus is called the epicentre.
