KNOW BEFORE WATCHING
A few things worth knowing first
TERM
Bioluminescent
This phenomenon occurs when a living organism produces and emits light through internal chemical reactions. In marine environments, many deep-sea creatures use this ability for communication, camouflage, or attracting prey.
ORGANIZATION

These large marine mammals are apex predators known for their intelligence and complex social structures. They are highly vocal and play a critical role in maintaining the balance of ocean ecosystems.
PLACE
Submarine canyon
A deep-sea geological feature characterized by steep slopes that descend from the continental shelf into the ocean floor. These canyons often serve as conduits for organic matter and provide unique habitats for diverse marine life.
SCIENCE
Water pressure
The extreme force exerted by a liquid at rest due to the weight of the substance above it. In deep-sea environments, this pressure increases significantly with depth, requiring specialized equipment for human exploration.
