Summary Introduction

The lowest layer in the ocean that exists just above the seabed and below the thermocline is called as deep sea and its depth of 1000 fathoms or more. The addition to deep sea waters, another most and vast unexpected microbial biosphere that is present below the sea floor is called as deep sea sediments. The sea sediment materials are naturally occurring that is broken down by the processes of erosions and weathering. It is eventually transported by the cation of water, ice and wind through the force of gravity that are acting on the particle.
