                                                                         Photosynthesis-plant & sun

What are some Natural Under water structures ?

Atolls - Island surrounded by water   

Sea mount- underwater volcano

 Midocean ridge - underwater mountain

Trenches- underwater deep crevices/valley

What are some ocean needs/benefits?

It provides food, shelter, water, transportation, and an

energy source.

What are Bioluminescent organism?

Glowing organisms that exist in the deep dark layers of the ocean because of the hydrogen sulfide released from the hydrothermal vent energy source. ex. Lantern fish /anglar fish, lion fish, eel, and jelly fish

What are some underwater energy sources?

Photosynthesis-plant & sun (top layer)

Hydrogen sulfide – Chemical energy (deep dark layers)

hydrothermal vents

How does ocean zone and depth effect the ocean?

Pressure Increase- as you decline deep into the ocean

Temperature decrease- gets colder as you decline in ocean depth

Light - decreases with each ocen depth

Oxygen - level decreases with each ocen depth

energy source changes from the sun to chemical energy
