Movie Fun Facts about the Ocean
What is in the Ocean? Besides plants and animals, did you know that there are volcanoes, trenches, and mountains in the ocean? Well there are!
Volcanic Islands Mid-Ocean Ridge Continental Shelf Continental Slope Seamounts Trenches Abyssal Plain
Continental Shelf The continental shelf is a gently sloping, shallow area that extends from the edge of the continent.
Continental Slope The continental slope is situated at the edge of the continental shelf; the ocean floor drops off in a steep incline.
Seamounts Seamounts are mountains that are completely under water.
Mid-Ocean Ridge A continuous range of mountains that winds around the whole earth underwater.
Abyssal Plain A smooth and nearly flat area of the ocean floor that is situated just beyond the continental slope.
Trenches Deep, steep-sided canyons that cut into the abyssal plans.
Volcanic Island Mountains on the abyssal plains that sometimes rise above the ocean surface to form volcanic islands.

Zones The ocean is divided up into zones. The zones are determined by how much sunlight is visible in each area of the ocean. There are many different plants and animals that live in each oceanic zone. Take a swim through all of the zones… Sunlight, Twilight, Midnight, Abyssal, Hadal
Sunlight Zone Top layer of the ocean where enough light shines through for plants to grow.
Twilight Zone The dim layer of the ocean where only some light shines through, but not enough for plants to grow.
