This zone is found from a depth of around 6,000 metres (20,000 ft) to the bottom of the ocean. The hadal zone has low population and low diversity of marine life.

Famous quotes containing the word zone:
“Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
