Description: The term ‘abyssal’ refers to everything related to the depths of the ocean, specifically to the areas that are more than 2000 meters deep. This region of the ocean, known as the abyssal zone, is an extreme environment characterized by total darkness, cold temperatures, and extremely high pressures. Life in these depths is fascinating and diverse, with organisms that have developed unique adaptations to survive in adverse conditions. Abyssal ecosystems are crucial for the balance of the ocean, as they play an important role in the nutrient cycle and in the regulation of the global climate. Furthermore, the study of these areas can provide valuable information about biodiversity and the evolution of species, as well as about the effects of climate change on the oceans. Abyssal exploration has been a challenge for scientists, but with advances in technology, submersibles and remotely operated vehicles have been developed that allow for more effective investigation of these depths.
