This animated infographic explores the fascinating depths of the ocean, which covers 71% of Earth’s surface and holds 96.5% of its water. The ocean is divided into five zones: the Sunlight Zone, home to creatures like dolphins and sharks; the Twilight Zone, where bioluminescent organisms live; the Midnight Zone, a pitch-black, freezing environment; the Abyssal Zone, featuring ocean plains and volcanic sea mounts; and the Hadal Zone, found in deep trenches with extreme pressure and darkness. Despite the ocean’s vastness, humans have explored only 5% of it, leaving much of its mysteries still to be discovered. The ocean remains one of the most intriguing and unexplored frontiers on our planet.
