  1. “There Be Monsters Here” Deep Ocean

  2. Zones of the Deep Abyssalpelagic zone: depth of 4,000 – 6,000 meters (13,123 feet – 19,685 feet) Hadalpelagic zone: trench zone below abyssalpelagic zone; 6,000 m (20,000 ft) to bottom of oceanic trench (deepest known 10, 911 m or 35, 798 ft.)

  3. Abyssalpelagic Zone • perpetual darkness • HUGE amount of water pressure • 11,000 psi • one of the least understood areas on earth • extremely cold temperatures ranging between 2° c – 4° C • hydrothermal vents • high oxygen content

  4. Surviving in the Deep Ocean zone Animals in this zone must adapt to living in • high pressure • low temperatures • complete darkness • little or no nutrients in the water

  5. Animals of the Abyssalpelagic Zone

  6. Hadalpelagic Zone • perpetual darkness • HUGE amount of water pressure • 16,000 psi • one of the least understood/unexplored areas on earth • extremely cold temperatures ranging between 2° c – 4° C • hydrothermal vents

  7. Surviving in the Hadalalpelagic zone Animals in this zone must adapt to living in • highest pressure on surface of the Earth • low temperatures • 1° C – 2.5° C • complete darkness • little or no nutrients in the water

  8. Animals of the Hadalpelagic Zone • Jellyfish • Viperfish • Tubeworms • Sea cucumbers • Deep sea angler fish

  9. Animals of the Hadalpelagic Zone
