From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The abyssal zone also known as the abyssopelagic or the abyss is a mysteriously dark area of the ocean, which is never penetrated by the rays of the sun. The zone begins from 4000m bellow sea level and it ends at the ocean floor. Only the hadal zone, often areas within deep-sea trenches and canyons, reaches deeper depths than the abyssal zone. With its extremely cold temperatures and intense pressures, it was not believed animals would be found within these depths. However, with its unique environmental characteristics, it has allowed for phenomenal animals, many of which carry a cell in their body that radiates light, to subsist.
