- 11. 6,000-11,000m, deep sea trenches here
- 14. the largest ecosystem on Earth,consists of everything outside coastal waters
Down
- 2. 4,000-6,000m,cold, dark, high pressure, bioluminescence common
- 5. when a dead whale sinks to seafloor and creates an ecosystem and food source
- 6. top-most zone, 0-200m where sunlight penetrates
- 7. deepest sea trench
- 9. zone 1,000-4,000m,bioluminescence common
- 12. a spiral of currents in the ocean
