The correct answer is - unequally distributed.
The water on the planet is not distributed equally. Be it the salt water or the fresh water, there's big differences from place to place.
The salt water for example, is much more abundant on the Southern Hemisphere, while it is much less found on the Northern Hemisphere.
The freshwater though, has much bigger differences on much smaller spaces. While places like the northern half of South America or most of Europe are abundant with water, there's places do not have it at all, like the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabian Peninsula actually doesn't have a single stream or river that have a constant flow, while on the other hand, you have a very small country like Macedonia that has over 2,000 streams and rivers on just above 25,000 km².
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.
