Passage 2
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
The strangest haunts of life are in the deep sea, by which is meant the floor of the deepest part
the ocean and the layers of dark water near the floor. Life is found six miles below the surface,
where the water pressure is enormous - more than six thousand pounds to the square inch. It is
y cold there - always about zero. It is also absolutely dark except for the fitful gleams of some
Fishes which, like fireflies, give out light of their own. It is too deep and dark for any plants to
arow, because plants need light, but no depth, it seems, is too great for animal life.
Questions :
1. What is the average temperature in the deep sea ?
2. Is animal life found in deep sea ? If yes, at what level ?
3. What is the source of light in the deep sea ?
4. Do we find any plants in the deep sea ?
5. Use the following words in sentences of your own :
(i) Enormous
(ii) Absolute
