Definition: Abyssal is a term derived from ancient Greek that refers to an area or region in the ocean that has no living thing growing there, usually due to geological forces, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes or tectonic plate movements. The word comes from "abyss" meaning bottom of abyss, which can refer to the water level at the bottom of a body of water (such as the sea) or the ocean floor itself. The term is commonly used in scientific and geoscience contexts to describe a region where there are no living things that could sustain life. In English, it can be abbreviated as "abz" or "bas". It is often used colloquially or in informal language to refer to something that has no human interaction, such as an area of the ocean without any marine life.
