The animals at the bottom of the ocean vary. They don't resemble the
animals at the oceans peak very well. Many people know that as you
progressively get deeper and deeper in the ocean the pressure begins to
build up on your body. Most of the animals also have to deal with the
pressure. The pressure they carry around is equivalent to 50 jumbo jets
stacked on top of each other. Although, they have to deal with these
enormous amounts they still thrive at the abyss, according to scientists
who have pulled a plug of dirt from the sea floor. Scientists have
studied the ocean floor for over decades. They have come to the
conclusion that the deepest point in all of the oceans is the Mariana
Trench, which lies in the Pacific Ocean. It is located just east of the
fourteen Mariana Islands (11"21' North latitude and
142" 12' East longitude ) very close to Japan. It was created
by
ocean-to-ocean subduction, a phenomena in which a plate topped
by
oceanic crust is subducted beneath another plate topped by
oceanic
crust.
The Mariana Trench is a very vast thing studied by marine biologists. It reaches around 10,916 meters. Down in the depths of the ocean, there is no possible way for plants to grow. One of the largest ecosystems lives at the ocean’s crust, which is vastly unknown. More than 60% percent of the world is covered by water, more than a mile deep. Also, the sea is the largest habitat on Earth and largely unexplored. The term deep sea creature refers to organisms that live below the photic zone of the ocean. Most of the time the animals have to deal with different atmospheres, and live in between 3 and 10 degrees Celsius, or 37 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
