Cold: The deep sea has extremely low temperatures. In fact, the beginning of the Abyssal Zone is conveniently defined as the area where water plummets to 4 degrees Celsius. At the ocean’s average depth off 4000m, the average temperature is 2 degrees Celsius. Brrr! Fish in this cold envi...
This second position mentioned in The Genesis Flood (Whitcomb and Morris, 1961) and modified by Oard (Oard, 1979) relies on a warm ocean in the wake of a global flood. The warm ocean provides a ready source of water vapor, which can be deposited over cold polar land masses as snow....
The deep sea biodiversity and conservation collection The deep sea, defined as ocean depths below 200 m, encompasses vast and largely unexplored habitats, such as abyssal plains, hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, and ocean trenches. This environment supports a remarkable diversity of life forms adapted...

number of antiviral systems is positively correlated with the genome size for each MAG (linear regression; R2 = 0.27, p = 4.73 × 10−5; Fig. 1b), similar to previous observations on the importance of genome size for encoding accessory systems in prokaryotes or ocean microbiomes [8, 34...
Scientists continuously discover new life forms, many from novel habitats such as chemosynthetic systems, such as hydrothermal vents and cold-water hydrocarbon seeps, where uniquely adapted species thrive in conditions that would be toxic to most life forms. The deep ocean hosts representatives of ...
Ocean Colour biogeochemical dataset. Model-derived values were obtained for the depth of the surface mixed layer (m), bottom seawater temperature (°C), bottom seawater oxygen concentration (mL/L), bottom seawater salinity, and bottom current magnitude (m/s) from the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean ...
The concentration of dissolved organic carbon in the deep ocean is ~35–48 μmol/kg (DeLong et al., 2006, Bercovici and Hansell, 2016). A variety of topographical features exist in the deep-sea environments, such as hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, oceanic trenches, seamounts, and bathyal ...
elusive unicorns of the Minecraft world. There is a small chance to find a Minecraft shipwreck in the frozen ocean and deep frozen ocean biomes. These are chilly spots where shipwrecks are a rare sight. If you find one here, give yourself a pat on the back – you've struckice-coldgold...
