Adaptations of Deep Sea Creatures Essay

Markeus tried luring in the siren and threw the shell. While she momentarily became unconscious, Markeus used this opportunity and slayed the siren with the diamond encrusted silver sword. Meanwhile Arseren fell deeper and deeper into the ocean, Markeus swam up the throne, and saw the box of light. Joy and happiness was all he felt, it was a feeling he hasn’t felt before. After grabbing the box, Markeus swam out of the caves, and up towards the surface of the water. He then, stepped onto the shore, and was making his route towards Apollo’s palace. “Behold!” The box of light that I have recruited from the deep ocean of the underworld”. When Apollo saw the bravery in Markeus’s actions, Apollo gave him the honors of opening the box of light. When Markeus opened the box, a bright light blasted out, shining a ray which opened the clouds. Happiness covered the valley as Markeus was forever known a hero.

Most would think no lifeforms could survive in such depths with the extreme temperatures, darkness, and immense water pressure, but they do. Over four hundred types of foraminifera, which are single-celled protists, have been found here as well as amphipods, worms, sea cucumbers, and shrimp. Along with this, a record was set for the deepest depth of a found fish. It is an unknown species of snailfish. Not only is the living of importance here, but the physical makeup of the trench is as well.…

and most are relatively uncomplicated organisms. This is for a variety of reasons; firstly the supply of water which marine life requires surviving is intermittent. Secondly, the wave action around the shore can wash away or dislodge poorly suited or more adapted organisms. Thirdly, because of the intertidal zone's high exposure to the sun the temperature ranges can be very extreme. For example the temperature could be extremely hot or extremely cold like in frigid climates. Abyssal Because…

The deep ocean is considered an extreme environment because of the low temperatures, high pressures, lack of oxygen and no sunlight. These conditions have caused the organisms which live there to evolve, often through unusual and unique adaptations, so they can live, reproduce, and thrive. An extreme environment is a place where humans normally do not live or could die there. There are organisms caused extremophiles that live there and are so well-adapted that they readily grow and multiply in…

The picture book is about a boy overcoming his fears of what lies beneath the surface of the ocean, a world that he has not yet wanted to discover.

Una ocular lupo 250-450 feet below the earth's surface, this deadly creature lurks. It can only thrive in total darkness. Scientists don’t know much about these elusive creatures. Characteristics Una Ocular Lupo have only one eye that has X-ray vision. Their sharp slightly blue tinted teeth are designed to rip and tear flesh easily. They are a light black with a blue nose and red tited feet. Their dagger like blue nails inject cyanide into their victim's body at will. Their big feet let…

what adaptations allow deep-sea creatures to survive in extreme environments? There is no simple answer due to the fact that all creatures adapt to their environment in different ways. Although sea creatures live together in the same ocean, the condition in different areas varies. The different characteristics of these four sea creatures make them unique, therefore giving them various ways to adapt to extreme oceanic environments in order to survive. Despite living in different locations of the…

by water more than a mile deep. The deep sea is the largest habitat on earth and is largely unexplored. More people have traveled into space than have traveled to the deep ocean realm....” -The Blue Planet Seas of Life. It is hard to believe that most of our planet is made up of vast oceans, practically right under our nose, yet so much is still unknown about it. To think that we have come across so much information, and made so many advances in regards to space, rather than our very own…

The marine world is a strange and mysterious place that scientists have not yet fully explored, with creatures that surpass the imagination’s limits. These creatures may all live in the same watery habitat but they could not be anymore different from each other. Diversity is the mix of different species or different types of one species within one habitat. Diversity happens not only within the human species, but within all of the species on Earth. There can be many types of one sort of species.…

flora and fauna in a large habitat (Postlethwait and Hopson). The saltwater biome is a community in a saltwater habitat. This group of similar ecosystems includes oceans, seas, saltwater lakes, and salt estuaries. It touches the edge of the continents and can even be surrounded by other biomes. The saltwater biome has five major oceans -Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern- and also…
