      The sea floor! Exactly like the ground you’re standing on, but under a lot of water. There are features like cliffs and valleys down there too. Anything that sinks will eventually make its way down there and break down further.

      Different sorts of fish and other creatures live down there, depending on how deep.

      The deepest place is known as the ‘Mariana Trench’, 6.8 miles down!
