The Unexplored Planet | Dave Gallo | TEDxKids@SMU


so I’m going to show you some stuff

so I’m going to show you some stuff today and we’ll start with something

today and we’ll start with something

today and we’ll start with something that belongs to you the planet Earth

that belongs to you the planet Earth

that belongs to you the planet Earth that doesn’t belong to anybody more than

that doesn’t belong to anybody more than

that doesn’t belong to anybody more than it belongs to you and the thing about

it belongs to you and the thing about

it belongs to you and the thing about Earth I’m an oceanographer so I study

Earth I’m an oceanographer so I study

Earth I’m an oceanographer so I study oceans and guess what most of the earth

oceans and guess what most of the earth

oceans and guess what most of the earth is ocean so all we did here is rotate

is ocean so all we did here is rotate

is ocean so all we did here is rotate the world around take away the clouds

the world around take away the clouds

the world around take away the clouds and guess what

and guess what

and guess what all blue and average depth of the ocean

all blue and average depth of the ocean

all blue and average depth of the ocean is about two and a half miles so it’s

is about two and a half miles so it’s

is about two and a half miles so it’s not easy to explore there in fact today

not easy to explore there in fact today

not easy to explore there in fact today I’d say we explored about maybe eight

I’d say we explored about maybe eight

I’d say we explored about maybe eight percent of the oceans so if the oceans

percent of the oceans so if the oceans

percent of the oceans so if the oceans earth is mostly ocean that’s like 70%

earth is mostly ocean that’s like 70%

earth is mostly ocean that’s like 70% and we’ve only explored eight percent

and we’ve only explored eight percent

and we’ve only explored eight percent that means we’re living at an unexplored

that means we’re living at an unexplored

that means we’re living at an unexplored planet we don’t know what’s out there so

planet we don’t know what’s out there so

planet we don’t know what’s out there so it’s not been done it’s not been

it’s not been done it’s not been

it’s not been done it’s not been explored and the thing that most people

explored and the thing that most people

explored and the thing that most people think about the oceans they think it’s a

think about the oceans they think it’s a

think about the oceans they think it’s a big blue fishbowl right to stand at the

big blue fishbowl right to stand at the

big blue fishbowl right to stand at the beach to look out there so they’re

beach to look out there so they’re

beach to look out there so they’re sharks there’s whales if you watch Shark

sharks there’s whales if you watch Shark

sharks there’s whales if you watch Shark Week there’s a octopuses and all sorts

Week there’s a octopuses and all sorts

Week there’s a octopuses and all sorts of other fish but you know we live on

of other fish but you know we live on

of other fish but you know we live on this planet 7 billion of us live on this

this planet 7 billion of us live on this

this planet 7 billion of us live on this planet so we rely on the ocean so every

planet so we rely on the ocean so every

planet so we rely on the ocean so every breath of fresh air that you take you

breath of fresh air that you take you

breath of fresh air that you take you can count on the oceans for that half of

can count on the oceans for that half of

can count on the oceans for that half of the oxygen we breathe comes out of the

the oxygen we breathe comes out of the

the oxygen we breathe comes out of the sea almost all the rain you get whether

sea almost all the rain you get whether

sea almost all the rain you get whether whether it rains or you get droughts all

whether it rains or you get droughts all

whether it rains or you get droughts all that rain comes out of the ocean right

that rain comes out of the ocean right

that rain comes out of the ocean right 90 something percent of the rain comes

90 something percent of the rain comes

90 something percent of the rain comes out of the ocean the food you eat

out of the ocean the food you eat

out of the ocean the food you eat there’s about 2 billion people on earth

there’s about 2 billion people on earth

there’s about 2 billion people on earth so 7 billion altogether two billion rely

so 7 billion altogether two billion rely

so 7 billion altogether two billion rely on the ocean for food so the air you

on the ocean for food so the air you

on the ocean for food so the air you breathe the food you eat the water you

breathe the food you eat the water you

breathe the food you eat the water you drink belongs comes out of that ocean

drink belongs comes out of that ocean

drink belongs comes out of that ocean controlled by the ocean and we haven’t

controlled by the ocean and we haven’t

controlled by the ocean and we haven’t even explored it yet and the thing is

even explored it yet and the thing is

even explored it yet and the thing is that what we know today is it’s changing

that what we know today is it’s changing

that what we know today is it’s changing really quickly the chemistry of the

really quickly the chemistry of the

really quickly the chemistry of the water is changing the temperature the

water is changing the temperature the

water is changing the temperature the water is changing things aren’t what

water is changing things aren’t what

water is changing things aren’t what they used to be in fact that’s one of

they used to be in fact that’s one of

they used to be in fact that’s one of the big headlines is that this planet

the big headlines is that this planet

the big headlines is that this planet that first picture I showed you was a

that first picture I showed you was a

that first picture I showed you was a snapshot but this planet is constantly

snapshot but this planet is constantly

snapshot but this planet is constantly changed mountains come and go oceans

changed mountains come and go oceans

changed mountains come and go oceans come and go takes hundreds of millions

come and go takes hundreds of millions

come and go takes hundreds of millions of years but they do you have

of years but they do you have

of years but they do you have earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes floods

earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes floods

earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes floods droughts constant change and so what

droughts constant change and so what

droughts constant change and so what we’re trying to do is to you know

we’re trying to do is to you know

we’re trying to do is to you know oceanography split up into two kinds of

oceanography split up into two kinds of

oceanography split up into two kinds of directions

directions

directions one is the exciting stuff what’s out

one is the exciting stuff what’s out

one is the exciting stuff what’s out there at the bottom of the sea you know

there at the bottom of the sea you know

there at the bottom of the sea you know and every time we go out we find

and every time we go out we find

and every time we go out we find something new the other parts the

something new the other parts the

something new the other parts the important part what’s it mean to us you

important part what’s it mean to us you

important part what’s it mean to us you know what is it that we do that

know what is it that we do that

know what is it that we do that influenced the ocean and you need to

influenced the ocean and you need to

influenced the ocean and you need to know that because you’re going to have

know that because you’re going to have

know that because you’re going to have to deal with that in the coming decades

to deal with that in the coming decades

to deal with that in the coming decades ahead and then what does the ocean do

ahead and then what does the ocean do

ahead and then what does the ocean do that impacts us you know storms and

that impacts us you know storms and

that impacts us you know storms and things like that so we need to know

things like that so we need to know

things like that so we need to know about our relationship with the sea but

about our relationship with the sea but

about our relationship with the sea but it all starts with exploring and so if

it all starts with exploring and so if

it all starts with exploring and so if you take away the water and look at the

you take away the water and look at the

you take away the water and look at the bottom of the ocean guess what there’s a

bottom of the ocean guess what there’s a

bottom of the ocean guess what there’s a huge mountain range that runs all the

huge mountain range that runs all the

huge mountain range that runs all the way around the earth it’s just like the

way around the earth it’s just like the

way around the earth it’s just like the seams on a baseball it’s you can see if

seams on a baseball it’s you can see if

seams on a baseball it’s you can see if they’re in the middle of the oceans it’s

they’re in the middle of the oceans it’s

they’re in the middle of the oceans it’s called the mid-ocean ridge 50,000 miles

called the mid-ocean ridge 50,000 miles

called the mid-ocean ridge 50,000 miles long it’s huge it Dwarfs any mountain

long it’s huge it Dwarfs any mountain

long it’s huge it Dwarfs any mountain range on earth there’s thousands of

range on earth there’s thousands of

range on earth there’s thousands of peaks along that mountain mountain range

peaks along that mountain mountain range

peaks along that mountain mountain range and valleys as well so we’ve got the

and valleys as well so we’ve got the

and valleys as well so we’ve got the world’s greatest mountains the world’s

world’s greatest mountains the world’s

world’s greatest mountains the world’s greatest mountain range the world’s

greatest mountain range the world’s

greatest mountain range the world’s deepest and widest values are like five

deepest and widest values are like five

deepest and widest values are like five to ten times wider and deeper than the

to ten times wider and deeper than the

to ten times wider and deeper than the Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon we’ve got underwater rivers we call them

we’ve got underwater rivers we call them

we’ve got underwater rivers we call them currents when they’re at the surface

currents when they’re at the surface

currents when they’re at the surface there’s a current out there but they’re

there’s a current out there but they’re

there’s a current out there but they’re at the bottom of the ocean too and and

at the bottom of the ocean too and and

at the bottom of the ocean too and and they’re like rivers they actually move

they’re like rivers they actually move

they’re like rivers they actually move along the bottom of the ocean just like

along the bottom of the ocean just like

along the bottom of the ocean just like river if your average every have a warm

river if your average every have a warm

river if your average every have a warm drink whether it’s tea or coffee or

drink whether it’s tea or coffee or

drink whether it’s tea or coffee or something like that and pour cold cream

something like that and pour cold cream

something like that and pour cold cream in it you’ll see that the cream goes

in it you’ll see that the cream goes

in it you’ll see that the cream goes right to the bottom of the cup that’s

right to the bottom of the cup that’s

right to the bottom of the cup that’s what happens in the ocean the North Pole

what happens in the ocean the North Pole

what happens in the ocean the North Pole South Pole really cold water to equate

South Pole really cold water to equate

South Pole really cold water to equate our really warm water and when they mix

our really warm water and when they mix

our really warm water and when they mix the cold water goes low and the warm

the cold water goes low and the warm

the cold water goes low and the warm water stays high so we’re finding all

water stays high so we’re finding all

water stays high so we’re finding all those things and the most important

those things and the most important

those things and the most important thing is that every place we look in the

thing is that every place we look in the

thing is that every place we look in the oceans even in the deepest darkest

oceans even in the deepest darkest

oceans even in the deepest darkest places when we go exploring you know my

places when we go exploring you know my

places when we go exploring you know my friend Jim Cameron the guy that did

friend Jim Cameron the guy that did Titanic Terminator and avatar he built a

Titanic Terminator and avatar he built a

Titanic Terminator and avatar he built a submarine with his team and he actually

submarine with his team and he actually

submarine with his team and he actually went to the very deepest part of the

went to the very deepest part of the

went to the very deepest part of the ocean seven miles down by himself and

ocean seven miles down by himself and

ocean seven miles down by himself and even in the deepest part of the ocean he

even in the deepest part of the ocean he

even in the deepest part of the ocean he sees life so one of the messages we have

sees life so one of the messages we have

sees life so one of the messages we have to is that life really does want to

to is that life really does want to

to is that life really does want to happen on this planet so we find life

happen on this planet so we find life

happen on this planet so we find life everywhere you know the theme here is

everywhere you know the theme here is

everywhere you know the theme here is illuminate and when we go to the oceans

illuminate and when we go to the oceans

illuminate and when we go to the oceans to explore we have to bring lights with

to explore we have to bring lights with

to explore we have to bring lights with us there’s no sunlight in most of the

us there’s no sunlight in most of the

us there’s no sunlight in most of the ocean that’s a completely dark world

ocean that’s a completely dark world

ocean that’s a completely dark world there’s a close-up of that underwater

there’s a close-up of that underwater

there’s a close-up of that underwater mountain range and

mountain range and

mountain range and what’s neat about it is you see that it

what’s neat about it is you see that it

what’s neat about it is you see that it looks like this snake shape in the

looks like this snake shape in the

looks like this snake shape in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean but look at

middle of the Atlantic Ocean but look at

middle of the Atlantic Ocean but look at Africa fits right into it

Africa fits right into it

America fits right into it all those pieces used to be together so even the

pieces used to be together so even the

pieces used to be together so even the face of the earth the continents are

face of the earth the continents are

face of the earth the continents are constantly moving you know we used to be

constantly moving you know we used to be

constantly moving you know we used to be together Africa and North America and

together Africa and North America and

together Africa and North America and South America used to be together about

South America used to be together about

South America used to be together about 180 million years ago and then they

180 million years ago and then they

180 million years ago and then they started moving apart and they’re still

started moving apart and they’re still

started moving apart and they’re still moving apart and so eventually they’re

moving apart and so eventually they’re

moving apart and so eventually they’re going to come back together again when

going to come back together again when

going to come back together again when they move apart they make oceans when

they move apart they make oceans when

they move apart they make oceans when they come together they make mountains

they come together they make mountains

they come together they make mountains it’s an amazing planet so how do we

it’s an amazing planet so how do we

it’s an amazing planet so how do we explore this underwater world and you’ve

explore this underwater world and you’ve

explore this underwater world and you’ve got to have technology and that’s our

got to have technology and that’s our

got to have technology and that’s our ship called the Atlantis 50 people go on

I’ve been really privileged to be part

I’ve been really privileged to be part of this for about 30 years so that you

of this for about 30 years so that you

of this for about 30 years so that you know it’s every time you go down there

know it’s every time you go down there

know it’s every time you go down there and turn on the lights you’re looking at

and turn on the lights you’re looking at

and turn on the lights you’re looking at either a new landscape something new or

a really powerful really powerful moment to see that and think about what

to see that and think about what

to see that and think about what happened and one of the things we enjoy

happened and one of the things we enjoy

happened and one of the things we enjoy doing is getting these stories out of

doing is getting these stories out of
