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...
How deep is the ocean around Antarctica? How cold is the abyssal zone? How deep into the abyssal zone have people ventured? What is the layer that surrounds the radiation zone of the sun? What is the sunlight level in the marine biome? How much salinity is in benthic zones? How deep ...
Microbial transformation of As has been well documented and characterized in environments such as ocean water, groundwater and geothermal springs, but the knowledge on gene- and genome-level As cycling in deep sea (e.g. cold seep) is limited. Our study demonstrated that As methylation and cytop...
Open Ocean and Deep Sea Ecosystems of the Open Ocean Epipelagic Deep Ocean Whale falls Hydrothermal vents Cold seeps Epipelagic Zone The uppermost layer of the world's oceans is bathed in sunlight during the daytime. This bright ocean layer is called the photic zone, euphotic zone (euphotic me...
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 ...
Egg-case nursery sites for members of the genus Bathyraja have been previously identified across most ocean basins and in diverse habitats like rocky reefs, submarine canyons, seamounts or even methane cold seeps17,24,25. Hydrothermal vent sites may also have other advantages as a juvenile nursery...
The deep sea, the largest biome on Earth, has a series of characteristics that make this environment both distinct from other marine and land ecosystems and unique for the entire planet. This review describes these patterns and processes, from geological settings to biological processes, biodiversity...
, some are the 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 ...
