In the abyssal zone of the ocean, which lies at depths of about 3,000 to 6,000 meters (approximately 9,800 to 19,700 feet), the water pressure is extremely high, averaging around 200 to 600 times atmospheric pressure at sea level. This translates to pressures ranging from about 20 to 60 megapascals (MPa). The immense pressure is a result of the weight of the water above, and it creates a unique environment that influences the physiology of deep-sea organisms.

Why does the water in the abyss not freeze?

Copied from RK from answers.yahoo.com Ice actually has a lower density than water. The warm water at the top of the ocean sinks towards the bottom where it is very, very cold... but not freezing cold. If ice could exist in the abyss, it already would... all those icebergs and things would have sunk to the bottom of the ocean if water applied to the same rule as most other substances (becoming more dense when it hits its freezing point). So, more or less, if it could freeze there it would all float to the top.
