The oceanic zone begins in the area off shore where the water measures 200 meters (656 feet) deep or deeper.
It is the region of open sea beyond the edge of the continental shelf and includes 65% of the ocean’s completely open water. The oceanic zone has a wide array of undersea terrain, including crevices that are often deeper than Mount Everest is tall, as well as deep-sea volcanoes and ocean basins. While it is often difficult for life to sustain itself in this type of environment, some species do thrive in the oceanic zone (Col).
The oceanic zone is subdivided into the epipelagic, mesopelagic, and bathypelagic zones.
The epipelagic (euphotic) zone, also called the sunlit zone, receives enough sunlight to support photosynthesis. The temperatures in this zone range anywhere from 40 to −3 °C (104 to 27 °F)(NHPTV).
The mesopelagic (disphotic) zone, where only small amounts of light penetrate, lies below the epipelagic zone. This zone is often referred to as the Twilight Zone due to its scarce amount of light. Temperatures in the mesopelagic zone range from 5 to 4 °C (41 to 39 °F). The pressure is higher here, it can be up to 1,470 pounds per square inch (10,100,000 Pa) and increases with depth (NHPTV).
To the naked eye, our oceans look like a huge, endless expanse of water. In actuality, they’re divided into zones and areas, similar to how land is segmented into countries and states. From your country’s shores to the lawless high seas, see how the vast global ocean is made up of smaller zones. Cartoonist Jim Toomey—whose daily comic strip, Sherman’s Lagoon, is syndicated in more than 250 newspapers in the United States—has joined forces with The Pew Charitable Trusts to illustrate "ocean zones" and other terms associated with our oceans.

Haley Chamberlain and Rob Nelson from the UntamedScience series, Ecogeeks go deep with submarine builder Karl Stanley. But have no fear, this deep dive didn't get us wet... Oh no. We stayed dry in our snug submersible on our quest to penetrate the 2000 foot depths. In this video we explore the zones of the deep sea: the Mesopelagic Zone, Bathypelagic Zone, Abyssopelagic Zone and Hadopelagic Zone. We explore the adaptations that animals have to live in the deep sea including bioluminescence and color.

ocean zones
This song describes what is meant by the intertidal, neritic, and open-ocean zones.
Reconstruction of tectonic plates and oceanic upper crustal CO2-content from 230 Ma to present day using the Müller et al. (2016) plate model (http://www.earthbyte.org/ocean-basin-evolution-and-global-scale-plate-reorganization-events-since-pangea-breakup/). Animations were produced for the DCO-funded project, 'Spatio-temporal modelling of deep time atmospheric carbon flux from subduction zone interactions with carbonate platforms.' (http://www.earthbyte.org/deep-carbon-modelling-and-visualisation-project/)
Nyoma, Ladakh. In nearby Nidar valley many geological evidences were reported by geologists for subduction (i.e pushing downwards) of Indian Plate beneath Asian Plate. One such evidence is Pillow lavas that belong to the oceanic crust of Tethys sea. The rocks scrapped from oceanic crust (pillow lavas), deep sea sediments (chert) and other intruded rocks that came from very deep part of the earth in this subduction (collision) zone are collectively called 'Ophiolite'.
The song is written to the music of Shawn Mendes' "Stitches" to teach about the zones of the ocean. Lyrics written by Mrs. Stephens. Enjoy!

Sorry for the long period without a duel video. I was busy for the past couple of days and I didn't have a chance to make a video. However you guys finally get to see the special treat I wanted to surprise everyone whom gave name suggestions. I do not own anything in this video.

Continental collision is a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at convergent boundaries. Continental collision is a variation on the fundamental process of subduction, whereby the subduction zone is destroyed, mountains produced, and two continents sutured together. Continental collision is known only to occur on Earth. Continental collision is not an instantaneous event, but may take several tens of millions of years before the faulting and folding caused by collisions stops. The collision between India and Asia has been going on for about 50 million years already and shows no signs of abating. Collision between East and West Gondwana to form the East African Orogen took about 100 million years from beginning (610 Ma) to end (510 Ma). Collision between Gondwana and Lau...
_ocean.ambient_ is a selection of 1990s ambient dub breaks & experimental ambient tracks that have an ocean theme. this 78 minute mix was first compiled for oceans day 020608 and first mixed for oceans day 030608. this is the second mix in the .ambient series from 110011. archive.org changes the file names on upload, so you will have to change the .sfv name back to the original name to function properly. download _earth.ambient.zip_ for the complete package that contains all the original files. the original files are: 00 - ocean.ambient.cue 00 - ocean.ambient.jpg 00 - ocean.ambient.m3u 00 - ocean.ambient.nfo 00 - ocean.ambient.sfv 01 - ocean.ambient.mp3 */ //00 - ocean.ambient.nfo /* who: various (mixed : 110011) what: ocean.ambient where: ocean when: 2008 type: ambient/dub breaks/ex...
Pendant une semaine, des amateurs de frisson sont bloqués dans des endroits réputés hantés... Une expérience hors norme, pendant laquelle les participants sont filmés grâce à des caméras de vidéosurveillance placées stratégiquement dans les maisons, manoirs, monuments et autres lieux ayant été le théâtre de phénomènes troublants. Résumé de l'épisode : Un ex-couple et une de leurs amies passent cinq jours dans le seul hôtel de l'île Star Island, qu’on dit hanté par les esprits vindicatifs de son personnel.
Continuing our look at Habitable Planets we look at worlds entirely covered in water, and how they are both harder and easier for life to develop and thrive on than we might expect.

The April 20, 2010 Deepwater Horizon event released unprecedented quantities of oil and gas to the deep Gulf of Mexico and raised many questions about the fate and impact of the released material. This lecture will follow Dr. Valentine's involvement in the response to this spill from his prediction in the Los Angeles Times that BP's "top hat" to cap the leak would not work to his field work on site as oil began to reach the shore in April and oceanographic expeditions in May and June. David Valentine is a Professor of Microbial Geochemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

2014 Fall Meeting Section: Ocean Sciences Session: Carson Lecture Title: Nitrogen Loss Processes and Nitrous Oxide Turnover in Oceanic Oxygen Minimum Zones Authors: Ward, B B, Geosciences, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, United States Abstract: Nitrogen is an essential element for life and the maintenance of all ecosystems. For many ecosystems, both aquatic and terrestrial, nitrogen is the element most likely to limit the amount and rate of production. But just as ecosystems can suffer from too little nitrogen, they are also sensitive to too much nitrogen, which leads to eutrophication and structural changes in food webs. Thus the processes by which nitrogen is removed are as critical to our understanding of ecosystem function as are those by which it is added. Nitrogen loss pr...
