Bathypelagic or the Dark Zone- This next zone is darker, colder, and scarier than the other two. It extends from 1000 meters to 4000 meters deep!!! The only light
that is visible is created by the creatures that live down there. Even though the water pressure down there is massive, a surprising amount of sea animals can be found in this layer. Many Sperm Whales
dive down to this layer in search for food. Many animals that live in this layer are black or red due to the shortage of light. This zones temperature is 35 degrees F. little food can be found here. |
