Across
- 6. Organisms that live near the seabed.
- 7. Opening in the sea floor of which heated water flows.
- 10. Found in ocean trenches and is deepest layer of ocean.
- 12. Steep slope where the continental shelf drops to the deep ocean floor.
- 14. Deep and narrow opening in the ocean floor very often caused by tectonic activity.
- 16. Aquatic animals that can navigate independently of water currents.
- 17. Uppermost layer of the ocean where the sunlight still penetrates.
- 18. A flat level of the deep-ocean basin.
- 19. Underwater mountain range formed by plate tectonics.
- 20. Middle layer of the ocean receiving little light.
Down
- 1. Underwater mountain rising from ocean floor that doesn't reach the surface.
- 2. Ocean layer in which no sunlight reaches.
- 3. Microscopic organisms floating or moving in the sea.
- 4. Extended perimeter of each continent. Lies submerged under relatively shallow seas.
- 5. Concentration of salt in water.
- 8. Layer of the ocean that's 4,000 and 6,000 meters in depth.
- 9. Series of ocean waves with really long wavelengths caused by large-scale disturbances.
- 11. Rising of cold water from deep in the ocean to the surface.
- 13. Layer in body of water where the temperature changes rapidly the deeper it goes.
- 15. Diverse underwater ecosystem held by calcium carbonate structures secreted by corals.
