the bottom of the ocean
The flattest areas on the seafloor are called abyssal plains. These vast, flat regions are located in the deep ocean basins and are covered with fine sediment that has accumulated over millions of years. Abyssal plains are typically found at depths of 4,000 to 6,000 meters.
Abyssal plains!
The Abyssal plains.
Large flat areas of the ocean floor are called abyssal plains. These regions are typically covered in thick layers of fine sediment and are among the flattest, most featureless parts of the ocean floor. Abyssal plains are found at depths between 3,000 and 6,000 meters.
The term abyssal plains refers to flat regions of ground underneath the ocean.
Abyssal plains are important in features of the ocean floor because they are geological elements of oceanic basins. Abyssal plains can slope or lay flat against the ocean floor.
deepest part of the ocean floor called the abyssal plains.
The clearest waters are in the South Pacific Gyre. At this place, the sunlight can still be measured at 200-250m depth at maximum. Abyssal plains are at 3000-4000 m depth... so no the sunlight doesn't reach the abyssal plains, it is very far from that!
The abyssal plains are made of basalt escaping from large underwater fissures in the earth's crust. As the molten rock is expelled from these fissures, it spreads out and cools, forming vast areas of relatively flat topography.
yes kelp lives on the abyssal plains kelp lives every where
