Deep Oceans - Abyssal Plains, Trenches and their Bizarre Life - Biomes#12
Oceanography - the nature of the vast oceans and their ecosystems. The largest of the world's biomes is the one we know the least of. Crushing pressures and the vast extent of the abyssal plains of the oceans mean we know more about the surface of the moon than the depths below the water. What we do know, however, is life here has evolved into an almost alien-like form that differs greatly from that of the surface. Join me in this final episode of the Biomes series, as I investigate the nature of the deep oceans and their bizarre ecosystems.

The average depth of the oceans is about 4000m, where no light reaches, and a cold, still world exists, totally dependent upon organic debris falling from above to provide food for its strange inhabitants. After descending from the continental shelf via the continental slope, most of the ocean floor is in the form of abyssal plains. However, mid-ocean ridges, where new crust forms, are at shallower depths, while deep ocean trenches descend to as much as 11000m, where pressures can reach 1100 atmospheres or 16000 psi.
🦑🐡🐋🌊
The vast flat surface of the oceans act as generators for the world's weather, and storms that form over the ocean in specific regular places lead to the formation of ocean currents that in turn shape global climate patterns, such as the Gulf Stream warming Europe, or the Peru Current creating the Atacama Desert. These surface currents are augmented by an even more complex conveyer belt of deep ocean currents that can be traced all around the world in what is known as the Thermohaline Circulation.
But in general the deep ocean is very still and cold, since cold water sits below warm surface water. The temperature of the water plummets suddenly at around 500m in depth in what is called the Thermocline.
🦑🐡🐋🌊
In the absence of light, there are no plants, so most of the biomass in the deep sea is in the form of animals - fish, crustaceans, cephalopods such as squid and octopus, starfish and adventurous mammals - the whales. Many of these creatures use bioluminescence to lure a mate or prey. Gigantism is also a feature of many of the animals here, with crabs and squid, for instance, being much larger than their surface water cousins.
🦑🐡🐋🌊
At mid-ocean ridges are found chemically rich hydrothermal vents that allow bacteria to build organic matter from. In turn these bacteria act as symbiotes for tube worms and other life that provides the only biome on our planet that is not dependent upon photosynthesis.

All is said about the quality and beauty of your work, just want to say thanks for sharing your perspective of art through science in these videos. As these episodes are like a story telling in sequence at the end I felt the same sensation that I felt in the final part of "Icecap" episode... No better way to close a series.... Thanks Master! 👏👏👏👏

There's one more place you haven't covered. Inside of caves, where there's no light, there can be separate ecosystems that don't rely on plants since there's no photosynthesis there either.

Indeed. I was aware of this biome, but it's of an order of magnitude smaller than all the others (and pretty insignificant in regards to impact on humans), so did not include it. I may pick it up in a future special.

Though the deep ocean is not the only ecosystem not based on plants. There is for example the Movile cave in Romania, which has been seperated from the outside world for ages and has a food chain independend of plants.
Please continue your "Nation States of Earth" series. Make an episode about Bangladesh! Thanks for the wonderful content. @Geodiode
Chemosynthetic bacteria could also be useful for deep space travel(better atmosphere processors)

@matildalitsey143 I know it sounds crazy but I believe the earth is flat and stationary and the abyssal planes are one of the many proofs for that theory.

minute 3:05 - Volume/cubic meters = m3. Not m2. That's square. Also 1.300.000.000.000.000.000 m2 instead of 1.300.000.000 km2 isn't gonna make it easier to grasp and presented as square, not correct.
