WARM UP:
 Despite the huge amount of pressure, many creatures live deep in the ocean.  Some organisms even live in ocean trenches where one tectonic plate is subducting beneath another.  Look through the Deep-Sea Creatures Photos for a glance at these amazing life forms.  Which ones live the deepest? Which ones have the weirdest adaptations?  Be prepared to discuss.
