00:00Curious about the vast blue heart of our planet?

00:03Join Fact Channels on a journey through the Pelagic Zone,

00:05where we'll uncover 15 fascinating truths lurking beneath the surface.

00:10Would you believe that the Pelagic Zone is so vast it dwarfs all landmasses combined,

00:14making it Earth's largest habitat?

00:17The Mesopelagic Zone, known as the Twilight Zone,

00:19receives so little sunlight that most organisms rely on bioluminescence to communicate and hunt.

00:25Did you know that some deep-sea creatures in the Bathopelagic Zone

00:29can withstand pressures equivalent to an elephant standing on a postage stamp?

00:34In the Abysopelagic Zone, temperatures hover just above freezing,

00:37yet life persists in forms both alien and astonishing.

00:41How about this?

00:42The Hadalpelagic Zone, named after Hades, reaches depths greater than 20,000 feet,

00:47where life thrives in perpetual darkness.

00:50The Sargassum Seaweed of the Epipelagic Zone

00:53acts like a bustling city block for countless marine species seeking food and shelter.

00:58Sound travels five times faster underwater than in air,

01:02allowing creatures like whales to communicate across entire ocean basins of the Pelagic Zone.

01:08Some species of deep-sea fish migrate vertically over 1,000 meters daily

01:12between feeding and resting zones,

01:14following a routine known as DL Vertical Migration.

01:17The Pelagic hunting grounds are theater to one of nature's greatest shows.

01:21Sardines runs stretch up to 10 miles long and attract predators from miles around.

01:27In a surprising twist, gelatinous zooplankton in the Bathopelagic Zone

01:31are crucial to carbon sequestration,

01:33effectively helping regulate global climate.

01:36Ever imagine light without heat?

01:39Bioluminescent creatures of the Pelagic Deep

01:41create mesmerizing light shows without raising the temperature a degree.

01:44The open ocean gyres are massive circulating systems that act like deserts of the sea,

01:50nutrient-poor yet teeming with specialized lifeforms adapted to scarcity.

01:55Nature's skyscrapers, undersea mountains called seamounts,

01:58rise from the abyssal plains and attract diverse pelagic creatures seeking food and havens.

02:04Ocean currents in the Epipelagic Zone act as conveyor belts,

02:07distributing heat and nutrients across vast distances

02:10and influencing global weather patterns.

02:13Isn't it astounding that microplastics have infiltrated

02:15even remote regions of the Pelagic Zone,

02:18presenting a dire environmental challenge?
