The Deep “The blue planet” was captured By a British (David Attenborough) and presented in 2001. From this document, David will show viewers new species that they’ve never seen before. Especially from second episode, David specially dived into the Deep Ocean where he called the abyss. Furthermore, David also shows us how these species can survive in harsh environment which he called “monster”. In every deep ocean, the pressure is very high about 100 times atmosphere that can squeeze a white whale lung to one percent of their volume. That is the very reason that human can’t dive to the deep ocean without technology. At this time David used his very latest submersible which is a 12 centimeter thick reinforced acrylic …show more content…
Follow David to deeper part of the reef below 150 meters or so, life becomes more impossible because coral can’t perform photosynthesis without light. Therefore, no plant can survive just Animals. Also, David said that Animals only survive in this zone because of “marine snow” which is death organic matter from above. When he dives to deeper sea level about 300 meters, the bottom ocean have very high pressure and low temperature which have only sanded. In this case, David called this sea floor as sea desert. At this bottom of ocean, Organic matter just has only three percent so Animals down here kind of track and trails by moving around to look for food. The echinoderms are dominated in this environment which come out different kinds of shapes. After this, he traveled to a deeper level of ocean where at 2000 meters down and found another kind of coral reef. This coral reefs don’t get energy from the sun but from the food that they catch which make them become the largest coral in the ocean. After he showed a coral, David also showed us some other Animals that live in this environment. One of the shark families is Chimaera which has sensory pits on their chins to hunt prey below the sand and they also have large eyes to spots bioluminescence. However, large food is very race in this bottom so they feed themselves by dead fished from above such as dead tuner or whale. Eventually when David found a dead whale line on the sea floor, he discovered about 178 different Animals include Polychaeta worm (the newest worm
