Solifugae is an order of arachnids known variously as solifuges, sun spiders, camel spiders, and wind scorpions. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 147 genera . Despite the common names, they are neither true scorpions (order Scorpiones) nor true spiders (order Araneae ).

The ocean plays a key role in the water cycle as it is the source of 86% of global evaporation. [2] The water cycle involves the exchange of energy, which leads to temperature changes. When water evaporates, it takes up energy from its surroundings and cools the environment. When it condenses, it releases energy and warms the environment.

Thecosomata beat their wing-like parapodia to "fly" through the water. [8] [9] When descending to deeper water, they hold their wings up. They migrate vertically from day to night, so the community structure changes on a 24 hour cycle; during the day many organisms take refuge at water depths in excess of 100 m. [7]
