7. Human Damage in The ocean

8. Human damage Because the abyssal zone is so deep, and has so much pressure neither tidal changes or human activities really affect this zone. One human vehicle does some damage and it is the submarine. When it dives it sucks in oxygen and releases the salt and other chemicals causing damage to the fish.

9. Global Warming's affect on the abyssal zone Coral one of the leading sources for the oceans food is being affected by global warming Coral one of the leading sources for the oceans food is being affected by global warming Global warming is causing the skeletons of the coral reefs to become weaker Global warming is causing the skeletons of the coral reefs to become weaker This is all a result of carbon dioxide gas being released in the ocean This is all a result of carbon dioxide gas being released in the ocean

10. Coral Bleaching This is the breaking down of the relationship of coral and algae This is the breaking down of the relationship of coral and algae This is also occurring because of the warm ocean water This is also occurring because of the warm ocean water The algae give the coral its coloration The algae give the coral its coloration The increasing CO2 levels in the ocean are releasing the algae The increasing CO2 levels in the ocean are releasing the algae

11. Soft Mushroom coral This animal has two different shapes. When it is closed up it looks like a mushroom but when it is open it looks like a flower. It has tentacles up to six inches long. It uses poison in its tentacles to kill and eat small fish.

22. Hula Skirt Siphonophore This siphonophore has a float and swimming bells. It's able to regulate its density by changing the amount of gas in its float. The float has a pore at the bottom that emits gas and can be refilled with secretions produced by a special gland.
