What Is At The Bottom Of The Gulf Of Mexico?

This region itself is full of life, and people benefit from it freely - the Gulf of Mexico yields more fish, shrimp and shellfish annually than the South and Mid-Atlantic, the Chesapeake and New England combined.
Yet the Gulf of Mexico is also associated with horrific, catastrophic events that constitute nothing short of a benchmark of total extermination of the whole creation.
What is it that makes the Gulf such a life-affirming and simultaneously perilous place? Let's drain the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico and see what's there.
What secrets do the waters of the Gulf conceal?
There are many secrets.
Scientists keep finding evidence of a pretty dark past. And a lot of that evidence is pretty creepy.
Secrets of the Gulf of Mexico.

I thought this was going to be a video on what the Gulf of Mexico would look like if it was drained....instead I just got an hour long commercial from oil companies.

Minor correction: Hurricanes are birthed from the northwestern part of Africa growing in size and strength as it moves along the ocean then the warm Caribbean waters of intensifies then the golf stream feeds the storms their much needed warm water

On the bottom right, at 38.38, I see a lion fish. Lion fish are native to the Indo-Pacific, and now hordes of them are in the Atlantic, as they have no natural population controls here. Now I see they have also infiltrated the Gulf of Mexico. There barbs are venomous to the touch, and they prey on smaller fish. In the Indo-Pacific, they have to compete with large groupers and other predators to eat. Here there is nothing stopping them. Aquarium owners, don't dump your fish into waters where they don't belong, any more than pythons belong in Florida.

DRATZ I WAS TRULY INTERESTED IN LEARNING EXACTLY WHAT WAS DISCOVERED IN THE GULF OF MEXICO 🥴🥴🥴

Cenotes are not pronounced C-notes. It isn’t sheet music.

[kwgm]

"C-Notes?" That's what gangster types call US $100 bills.
'Say-No-Tés" is the correct way to pronounce Cenotes, those fresh water pools in the Yucatan. They originate as limestone pools, connected with neighboring pools. In time, the tops of these caves collapse, leaving the open pools called cenotes.

[deepgardening]

Say-No-taze is how a Gringo can learn to say "Cenote" . If you look at a map of Yucatan which highlights the fractures, flooded caves, and sinkholes you can see a radial pattern that echoes the circular scar in the Gulf.

More incorrect data: most oil did not form from swamps(confusing oil formation with coal maybe?), but came from dead plankton being buried and low-grade metamorphosed into oil over geologic time. As the Gulf of Mexico rifted open as Pangea broke up, the proto-Gulf filled and emptied many times before it stabilized as a sea, creating all the layers of salt cap rock and gypsum(the source of the sulphur). Please do better research in the future and use current sources.

[SunnyDae]

All of that oil is STILL in the oceans. There is no cleaning it out. They just pushed it down. Isn't that great

I was seeing on a History show that often escaped black slaves would join a whaling crew, because the crew wanted the work and didn't care if the person had been a slave or not. It was a dangerous trade, but slave hunters weren't going to board a ship at sea to search for them (they had no right). Here the ex-slaves could be free and make as much pay as any other worker.

"What Would We See When The Gulf of Mexico is Drained?" ... lmfao I thought this was going to be a video on what the Gulf of Mexico would look like if it was drained...but it was a 52:30 commercial from oil companies .. what a waist of time you should rename this

[mcasteel]

But they failed to mention is that when Luis Alvarez first proposed this hypothesis oh, he was laughed at uncontrollably. There's a thing in science called uniformitarianism and that basically comes down to, you towed the line or you will be writing papers out of a broom closet. Now the colleague that they mention we're pretty much ostracized however since mr. Alvarez had a lot better credentials he fared much better. And of course it wasn't until 30 some years later that he was exonerated. Let this be known that this happens across the board everywhere within all Realms within the scientific community and that's because of the politicization of science which was warned about when Eisenhower gave his farewell speech what you can look up.

[maggiesatterfield]

Cenotes are correctly pronounced as ' say - NO - tays' It is a Spanish name for sinkholes

[rationallyruby]

Did you really just say the Spanish borrowed the gold?

[dalepeterson]

This is quite a story. A portion of it truly is verifiable science. The rest - unverifiable theory.

[TheOfficialRandomGuy]

I always thought George Washington dug the Gulf of Mexico out by hand.

[SandstormGT]

Several times in the video It sounded like you were suggesting the entire gulf of Mexico was created by the meteor that killed the dinosaur.

[pisachanation]

Most hurricanes form off the western coast of the continent of Africa.

[Godzooky]

Hurricanes don’t come from the gulf. They enter the gulf.

[brendahealer]

too much greed, these is why catastrophic events are happening. leave mother earth alone
