    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathypelagic_zone

    The bathypelagic zone or bathyal zone (from Greek βαθύς (bathýs), deep) is the part of the open ocean that extends from a depth of 1,000 to 4,000 m (3,300 to 13,000 ft) below the ocean surface. It lies between the mesopelagic above and the abyssopelagic below.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_zone

    Temperatures in the Mesopelagic zone range from 5 to 4 °C (41 to 39 °F). The pressure is higher here, it can be up to 10,100 kilopascals (1,460 psi) and increases with depth. [1] 54% of the ocean lies in the Bathypelagic (aphotic) zone into which no light penetrates. This is also called the midnight zone and the deep ocean.

  4. Bathymetric chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathymetric_chart

    Bathymeric charts showcase depth using a series of lines and points at equal intervals, called depth contours or isobaths (a type of contour line). A closed shape with increasingly smaller shapes inside of it can indicate an ocean trench or a seamount, or underwater mountain, depending on whether the depths increase or decrease going inward.

  7. Mesopelagic zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopelagic_zone

    The mesopelagic zone has some unique acoustic features. The Sound Fixing and Ranging (SOFAR) channel, where sound travels the slowest due to salinity and temperature variations, is located at the base of the mesopelagic zone at about 600–1,200m. [6] It is a wave-guided zone where sound waves refract within the layer and propagate long ...

    It lives at an extreme depth of 1,000 to 4,000 meters, or 3,300 to 13,100 feet, below the surface in the ocean’s midnight zone, creating a unique challenge for scientists who’ve worked for ...

  9. Deep-sea fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-sea_fish

    Below the mesopelagic zone it is pitch dark. This is the midnight (or bathypelagic zone), extending from 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) to the bottom deep-water benthic zone. If the water is exceptionally deep, the pelagic zone below 4,000 metres (13,123 ft) is sometimes called the lower midnight (or abyssopelagic zone). Temperatures in this zone ...
