2024年11月14日 · In addition to the lack of light, the midnight zone is characterized by a steady temperature of around 4° Celsius (39° Fahrenheit). Life that exists in this zone must be able to function in cold temperatures and withstand extreme hydrostatic pressure. Pressure varies with depth, and in this zone it ranges from 100 to 400 atmospheres.
