deep sea environments
Deep sea environments refer to areas in the ocean that are characterized by extreme depth, low light levels, high pressure, and cold temperatures, typically found below 200 meters (656 feet). These environments harbor unique and diverse ecosystems adapted to survive in harsh conditions, including species that are specially adapted to the absence of sunlight and rely on chemosynthesis to obtain energy.
