Detailed explanation-1: -Hadalpelagic Zone-Beyond the abyssopelagic zone lies the forbidding hadalpelagic zone. This layer extends from 6, 000 meters (19, 686 feet) to the bottom of the deepest parts of the ocean.
Detailed explanation-2: -High tides are when the water reaches its highest point. Low tides are when the water reaches its lowest point. Causes Tides? The gravitational pull from the Moon, and the rotation of the Earth on its axis, cause the ocean and sea water to bulge, producing the tides.
Detailed explanation-3: -Generally, the ocean is much deeper than the sea even if some seas can be almost as deep as big oceans. To give you a few examples, the depth of the Channel is 174m, the one of the North Sea is 700m and for the Black Sea it is 2, 212m.
