Explanation:

Deep sea mining is a method of mineral extraction on the ocean floor. The oceans hold a truly valuable resource treasure. Several years ago, sand and gravel, oil and gas were mined from the ocean. Moreover, minerals transported from the continents to the coastal areas through erosion are mined from the shallow shelf and beach areas.

The deep sea has a number of mining tools, including silver, gold, copper, manganese, cobalt, and zinc. On the sea floor, these raw materials are found in different types. As per the findings, the sea floor also holds little amount of gold.
