A recent study published in Cell01479-X)sheds light on the incredible adaptability of microbes living in the hadal zone—the deepest part of the ocean, marked by immense pressure, near-freezing ...

To uncover the secrets of life in the hadal zone — the ocean’s deepest region, from 6,000 to over 11,000 meters — researchers sent crewed submersibles and robotic vehicles into the Pacific ...

So we have people that study all parts of the ocean, from coral reefs all the way down to the hadal zone, the very deepest parts of the ocean. The ecosystems in the ocean really matter ...

These include the sunlight zone (epipelagic), the twilight zone (mesopelagic), the midnight zone (bathypelagic), the abyssal zone (abyssopelagic), and the hadal zone (trenches) ...

Further still is the abyssopelagic zone that stretches down to 6,000 meters. Finally, the hadal zone consists of the ocean’s deepest reaches, such as trenches and the abyssal plain. The deep sea, ...
