Wrong.
The bottom of the ocean is gonna be sand or dirt or rock. Possibly all of them. The water will actually be sitting above the bottom.
Real facts: The gnarliest thing about the first submersible to touch the bottom of the Marianas Trench was only down for like, 30 minutes IIRC, because it had a glass porthole and they were unsure of its stability (even though it was hella thick and had a pretty small diameter), but they wanted it to be able to observe what was down there. But when they hit the ground, it kicked up a cloud of silt and they were unable to see anything for the whole duration they were down there. Oof.
Is that so? The bottom of a glass is glass. But the ocean is not the glass; it's the water in the glass. You wouldn't say that the bottom of the water in the glass is made of glass.
