| The Deep Sea - a Parallax | - This parallax is interactive, so click on the organisms to open a fact file about them, including real life footage, sizes, and other miscellaneous facts! - I made this to help educate people on the deep sea and the creatures that live in it. I have chosen some that I think are interesting, but there are hundreds of others that I couldn't include, but are just as cool! - 'The deep sea' is a phrase that refers to anywhere in the ocean over 200 meters, but in reality, the sea is divided into zones, such as the sunlight (epipelagic), twilight (mesopelagic), midnight (bathypelagic), abyssal (abyssopelagic) and hadal zones. - Animals down here are mostly carnivores, as few plants grow - barely any sunlight reaches this far down. Many organisms use bioluminescence to communicate, mate, and hunt. They either eat other live organisms, dead matter, or marine snow. What is Marine Snow? - The decaying material, which is made up of dead animals and plants, sand, soot, fecal matter, and other inorganic dusts. is referred to as “marine snow” because it looks a little bit like white fluffy bits. The “snowflakes” grow as they fall, some reaching several centimeters in diameter. Some flakes fall for weeks before finally reaching the ocean floor. yes, the fish shadows are meant to stay onto the fact slides.
