There are some biotic factors as well including: organisms that are either potential predators/prey, food, mates, competitors/symbionts.]]> 2019-04-30 15:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355486676 20matthewssp1 https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355488808 The deep ocean is the lowest layer in the ocean, existing below the thermocline and above the sea bed at a depth of 1000 fathoms or more.

Some are body color/camouflage for protection, methods of finding a mate in the dark by using light signals, and they live much longer than most ocean organisms due to the lack of nutrients, which causes them to grow and develop slower. Their slow-moving diet has adapted to the lack of food as well.]]> 2019-04-30 15:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355493460 20wooe https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355494887 Deep sea fish tend to be larger than normal fish and lives longer. Deep sea fish like the anglerfish can live up to 100 years. This is due to the fact the deep sea fish needs to store more energy to reproduce because their is less food in the deep.]]> 2019-04-30 15:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355494887 20matthewssp1 https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355496914 This is just a small, simplified list of different creatures that live in the deep ocean.

This diagram details what they are and where they are. The Mesopelagic Zone is where sunlight starts to decrease and the pressure starts to rise. The Bathypelagic Zone is where sunlight is completely gone and this is where different types of organisms like angler fish start to show up. The Abyssopelagic Zone is an abyss, like the name suggests. Pressure has increased to an extreme amount and only a few organisms including a few species of fish and eels live at this depth. Lastly there's the Hadapelagic Zone, which is essentially like a trench. There's even less amounts of organisms and there's absolutely no source of natural light.]]> 2019-04-30 15:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355500205 20matthewssp1 https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355513686 This video by Tech Insider on YouTube can answer that question.]]> 2019-04-30 16:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355513686 20matthewssp1 https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355514839 Video by Science Insider]]> 2019-04-30 16:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355514839 20matthewssp1 https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355515880 This video by Life Noggin can answer that.]]> 2019-04-30 16:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/20matthewssp1/47mjfwts76mj/wish/355515880
