"Man has explored every part of the earth."?

Question

Do you agree? Give reasons to support your answer

Answer 1

That depends, but I would say no, man has not. Certain individuals probably have been to every part of the earth, but mankind as a rule has not. Here is my reasoning.

I am assuming that by man, you mean the collective knowledge of mankind. So, in this manner of thinking, mankind is still unaware of some parts of the earth, such as some of the jungles and rainforests in Africa and the Amazon. Sure, there are some tribes that may live in these remote regions, but little is actually known about the region in which they live or about the tribes themselves. Since these areas still remain mysteries, it is not possible that every part of the earth has been explored.

I hope this makes sense, trying to word it exactly is a bit hard.

Answer 2

Not even close, in fact the majority of earth's surface has never been laid eyes on by man. That is, of course, because these areas are under water. In most cases at least a mile of it. They say outer space is the "final frontier" but really it is most of our planet that must reamain mysterious for the forseeable future.

There are *some* areas above water that have not been touched by man. These are areas so unbelievable inaccesable, or else so desolate, that exploration could be the only possible reason for going there.

For example parts of the polar reigons. Large areas of Antarctica have probably only been seen from the air or from orbit. This is also true for particularly rugged areas of Greenland. The great northern conifer forests have probably been only sparsely explored, as well as inacessable areas of the sahara and middle eastern deserts.

Though the Amazon forest is being pointlessly destroyed, and at such a rate that it will not last this century, there may be large parts of it that have not seen humans in recent history if ever. This is because reaching these areas would involve hacking and wading through hundreds of miles of swampy, and impossibly overgrown ground that looked the same as the last hundred miles.

Nowadays the biggest chalenge may not be exploring these areas, but keeping them *unexplored.* It seems somtimes like once a person has "been there" somone else wants to come in and squat on the land, Or else despoil it in some fashion. like build a road, dig for oil, start farming, or build a tourist resort.

I think we as humans need to all look into our soul and ask ourselves just how valuable truly wild areas are to us. If the response is "only if it makes money, or gratifies my ego" then our future as a species does not look so good.

Now, I don't want to sound like a preachy environmentalist, nor do I suggest that people in general should give up their homes, families, jobs, futures, or way of life. I don't know what the answers are. It's just that like it or not, humans have a unique responsibility to take care of our home, and maitain it, so that it can continue, for the most part to protect us. We the people (especially those of us in the US) are just beginning to try to restore our living space at a rate which compares to the rate at which we are using it up.

Well I'm done ranting for now. Hope our track record improves....

Answer 3

Yes & No....both in broader sense No! nobody can explore everypart of earth as it is literally Impossible like parts of Lava & Magma, deeper Sea & EarthQuake related areas, but its geologically, when geographically you ask the Question answer will be YES....human reached everywhere he can Imagine & trying best to cover more areas.

directly Man reached polar regions,deserts & oceans like the way explored earth, indirectly also we have explored earth by information & Communication power system. through Satalites man explored every part of the earth
DEMO : u can see google-earth based on NASA

Answer 4

We Haven't gone too far into the Interior of the Earth - i.e towards the Core of the Earth . This is primarily because as we go downwards , Air Pressure as well as Heat Increases , as happens in the Deep Coal Mines. And we have not found enough means to reach Very Very Deep . May be we can come up in the next 100-200 Years !! Who Knows !!

Answer 5

Yes to meet the present need. For future need there will be more explorations, because where can the man go he is dependent on earth.

Answer 6

I disagree. Man cannot physically explore the core. QED

Answer 7

No.

No.

Too much to explore. Too difficult to explore.

Answer 8

The origins ot the material in which we are part, has come from places we have yet been. so NO.

Answer 9

The surface anyway

Answer 10

We know very litle about the oceans and their bottoms.
