Ok so there is the ocean floor that we can walk on when we swim in the ocean and the deep ocean floor where things like crabs and coral reefs and starfish and what not live so how does it get all deeper with like no floor for so deep? Does the floor just all drop off at one point and get lower like a huge bowl? Or is the ocean floor all uneven with just random huge trenches that go really deep? If that is the case are all the deep sea animals in these trenches just like stuck to the area in their trench and can never get out of it and not communicate with other organisms outside the trench? I’m just confused how it all works
In: Geology
It’s like the surface, uneven with flat areas, hilly areas, mountains, and canyons. Here’s a map that gives you an idea:

As far as the animals in trenches, it’s also similar to the surface, in that some types of animals stay in the same spot their whole life, others move around somewhat, and others can move huge distances.
