Why does a red fish look black in the ocean greater than water depth of 10 meters?
Has to do with reflected light, its wavelength, and how water effects it. Red light cannot travel as deep in water as green or blue. Therefor, when a red fish goes deeper the needed RED LIGHT cannot reach it and will not be reflected off the fish. SO! It looks black because it is REFLECTING no color. Thats what color is... reflected light.

What's the average depth of the ocean and how does it vary across different regions?
The average depth of the ocean is about 12,080 feet (3,682 meters). However, ocean depth can vary greatly across different regions. For example, the Pacific Ocean is the deepest, with an average depth of around 13,215 feet (4,028 meters), while the Atlantic Ocean is shallower, with an average depth of about 12,254 feet (3,735 meters). Other factors such as underwater mountain ranges and trenches can also affect ocean depth in specific areas.
What ocean has greatest average depth?
11,000 to 10,500 meters in the Pacific Ocean. 8600 meters in the Atlantic Ocean. 8000 meters in the Indian Ocean.
What causes water pressure in the ocean?
Water pressure in the ocean is caused by the weight of the water above pushing down on the water below. The deeper you go in the ocean, the greater the water pressure because there is more water above pushing down. This pressure increases at a rate of about 1 atmosphere (14.7 psi) for every 10 meters of depth.
The greatest known depth which lies in pacific ocean is?
The greatest known depth which lies in the Pacific Ocean is the Mariana Trench which has a depth of 35,797 ft/10,911 meters.
The oceanic zone is mostly?

Which is the largest and deepest ocean in the world?
