Fun Facts about the Ocean
Besides plants and animals,
did you know that there are volcanoes, trenches,
and mountains in the ocean?Well there are!
The continental shelf is a gently sloping, shallow area that extends from
the edge of the continent.
The continental slope is situated at the edge of the continental shelf;
the ocean floor drops off in a steep incline.
Seamounts are mountains that are completely under
water.
A continuous range of mountains that winds
around the whole earth underwater.
A smooth and nearly flat area of the ocean floor
that is situated just beyond the continental
slope.
Deep, steep-sided canyons that cut into the
abyssal plans.
Mountains on the abyssal plains that sometimes rise above the ocean
surface to form volcanic islands.

The ocean is divided up into zones. The zones are
determined by how much sunlight is visible in each area of the ocean. There are many different plants and animals
that live in each oceanic zone.Take a swim through all of the
zones…
Sunlight, Twilight, Midnight, Abyssal, Hadal
Top layer of the ocean where enough light
shines through for plants to grow.
The dim layer of the ocean where only some light shines through, but not enough
for plants to grow.
Deep layer of the ocean where no
light shines through.
Pitch-black bottom layer of the ocean where the water is so cold it is almost
freezing.
Layer of water that can be found
in the ocean’s deepest trenches.
