1. lifeless
initially, it is predicted that the ocean bottom would be lifeless since the sun light cannot reach this area. But in the 1970s, we found colonies of shrimp who manage to survive in the ocean bottom despite the lack of sun. They utilize mineral deposits in the ocean bottom to survive.
2. an area with high rates of evaporation
Salinity refers to how much salt is dissolved in the water. Salt does not evaporate like water does in heat. Because of this, in area with high rates of evaporation, each volume of water contain larger number of salt, resulting in high salinity.
3. seawater seeps into the ocean floor through cracks in the crust
Hydro thermal vent refers to place where geothermal heated water is created from. In this are, tectonic plates are constantly moving apart from the center. The movements of the tectonic plates create a cracks in the ocean floor where sweater can seeps into.
4. surface, pycnocline, deep
the surface area includes the ocean's surface until the area with 200m depth. This surface area contains the most sunlight phytoplanktons.
Polyclinic extend from 200m depth into 1000m. In this area, there is not much sunlight can come in and the water tend to be in higher density compared to surface area.
Deep ocean extend from 1000 depth and below. In this area, there isn't any sunlight
5. food web
Food web refers to a collection of several food chains within one ecological community. In the food web, organisms are divided into two categories.
1) the autotrophs, whcih is the organisms that can obtain energy by producing their own food.
2) the heterotrophs, which is organisms that had to obtain their energy by consuming other organisms.
6. photic
The pothic zone is the area in the ocean that get the largest amount of sunlight. The sunlight allow large amount of zooplankton to conduct their photosynthesis. Since majority of ocean lives consume zooplankton as their main source of food, the photostatic zones contains highest amount of marine fishes
