A groundbreaking study has revealed the presence of thousands of previously unknown microbes thriving in the hadal zone, the deepest and most extreme region of Earth’s oceans. Located between 6 ...

Researchers have uncovered over 7,500 new microbial species in the hadal zone, highlighting the extreme environmental adaptations of these organisms. The study suggests diverse microbial ...

The deep sea, covering approximately 65% of Earth's surface, has long been considered a biological desert. In this extreme environment—particularly in the hadal zone at depths greater than 6,000 ...

Chinese scientists have identified 7,564 species of prokaryotic microorganisms — 89.4 percent of them previously unreported — during an expedition to the hadal zone, the deepest part of the ...

Ocean depth is divided into zones: littoral, bathyal, abyssal and hadal. The deepest part of the ocean, the hadal zone, is anywhere deeper than six kilometres. What is the average depth of the ocean?
