The Abyssal Zone

               The abyssal zone is a layer in the pelagic zone. It is located under the Bathypalagic. It is one of the many benthic zones meaning that it is found in the bottom of the deep oceans. This zone can reach at depths from 6,560 to 19,680 feet. The zone is also very dark. It never receives daylight. The pressure of the water increases one atmosphere every 33 feet in depth and animals must stand the tremendous amounts of pressure. Animals in the deep ocean are very unique. The food is scarce in this zone because most animals have large gaps to ingest any possible food. There are animals like giant squid, black swallowers, tripod fish, and dead-sea anglerfish. The temperatures are often cold in this layer of water. It has temperatures of 2 degrees celcius to 3 degrees celcius or 35 degrees fahreinheit to 37 degrees fahreinheit. Well, these are all of the facts I have learned about the abyssal zone.
