The Hadal Buffet, Life in the Deepest Trenches.
Below 6,000 meters, in the hadal zone, creatures survive crushing pressure, near-freezing temps, and starvation by metabolizing detritus, chemosynthetic bacteria, or whale-fall ecosystems.
Life adapts to extreme pressure with slow metabolism, gelatinous bodies, and chemical tricks.
