The [|Mariana Trench]is home to many unique and unknown species. These species are unique because of their ability to adapt to extremities. These creatures have to deal with[| hydrothermal vents]that reach up to 500 degrees fahrenheit in temperature. Many barophilic organisms live in the Mariana Trench. [|Barophilic means organisms that need high pressure in order to survive]. The reason the Mariana Trench is so deep is because of plate tectonics. They are formed like mountains, but instead of going upward, they go downward. At the bottom of the Mariana Trench, it is called the Challenger Deep. The mariana trench was planned to be used as a [|nuclear disposal site]. Ocean dumping is prohibited by international law. []
