Hadalpelagic Zone


                                                          - Is also known as the Hadal zone, which was derived from "Hades" which means unseen.

                                                          - Ranges from 19, 686 ft to 32, 810 ft in depth

                                                          - This area is called the trenches because ocean trenches are the only place that can reach this depth.

                                                          - Only creatures like starfish, seaworms ans sea cucumbers can survive in this level.

                                                          - Not much is known about this level because it is impossible to explore because of the intense pressure.

Describe, in your own words, what you think the hadalpelagic layer would
look like. If you were able to take a swim through this area, what do
you think you would see? How do you think you would feel?
