It was very interesting to learn how their is six different layer in the sea. I now know that Coastal, Pelagic, Euphotic, Bathyal, Abyssal and Hadal are the Greek names for the sea layers and what their meanings are.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy studying about the six layers of the ocean, I can't wait to learn more! I thought it would be a very good thing to study about and I am wondering what it is really like down in the deep blue.
ReplyDeleteIt was my first time discovering that the ocean has 6 layers! I also learnt that the deeper you go you see strange creatures, the water gets colder and the colour gets darker. I can't wait to learn more about the deepest layer called HADAL.
