Where is the lowest point on earth?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Hi there!

The lowest point on earth is the Dead Sea, which is 420 meters BELOW sea level!

Some unknown fish and animals and creatures live here, but we unfortunately are unable to discover them because if you were to dive down this deep point you'd be squished, like a bug, because of the number of gallons of water resting on top of you.

Anyway, hope this helps!

Mademuasel [1]
<span>ore
       
An ore is a type of mineral or rock which has a high enough concentration of a desirable element such that it's economical to extract that desired element. This means that the actual concentration of metal in an ore varies quite dramatically depending upon the metal. For instance, Bauxite, which is the ore for aluminum contains approximately 15% to 25% aluminum. But for gold, it's not uncommon to profitably extract 1 ounce of gold from several tons of rock.</span>
