Marine Ecosystem: The Oceans

Color of the water is determine by the way sunlight is – Absorbed – Reflected.

Benthos Benthos are creatures that live on, near, or in the bottom of the ocean floor. There is a huge variety of benthos and what you find depends on.

The Water Planet n 70% of the world’s surface is covered with water n Depth ranges from a few inches to 6.5 miles deep Photo: NOAA

Pressure At sea level humans have 14.7 PSI applied to every square inch of our body Photo: Dr. Paul H. Yancy, Whitman College

In The Trenches Average depth of our oceans is 2330 ft. The deepest areas are found in the mid-ocean ridges and trenches. Kurile-Kamchatka Trench: 5.6 Miles Deep Pressure = 15,320 PSI! Photo: NOAA

In the Bay n Average depth is 30 ft. – but…. even at this depth pressure is a factor for survival... even at this depth pressure is a factor for survival... and for survival adaptations! and for survival adaptations! Photo: NOAA

Problems How hard is the life of a benthic organism?? n Varying temperatures n Changes in Water Pressure n Predators n Mans influence Vent Community Photo: NOAA

Temperature Temperature ranges from: 80 F at the surface during the summer months to 0.5 to 2.5 C in the deepest portion of the ocean. Areas where thermal venting takes place have had temperatures of over 700 degrees Fahrenheit recorded! Thermal vent Photo: NOAA

Light If sunlight is the foundation of the food chain…. How do organisms live without sunlight? Photo: NOAA
