deep fascia (s) (noun), deep fasciae (pl)
A significantly large range of three kinds of fibrous tissues consisting of an intricate series of connective sheets and bands that hold the muscles and other structures in place throughout the body, wrapping the muscles in gray, felt-like membranes: The deep fasciae have continuous systems that split and fuse in elaborate networks which are attached to the skeleton and are divided into the outer layers, the internal layers, and the intermediate membranes.

deep-sea vent (s) (noun), deep-sea vents (pl)
A geyser on the sea bottom through which super-hot aqueous solutions rise from the magma beneath the crust; hydrothermal vent: Deep-sea vents create a surrounding system of mineral-rich water that helps to support a distinctive type of ecosystem not found in typical cold-water environments at the same ocean depth.

geological repository, deep geological repository (s) (noun); geological repositories, deep geological repositories (pl)
A mined facility for the disposal of radioactive waste, using waste packages and the natural geological formations as barriers to provide waste isolation: The deep geological repository idea involves the encapsulation of used nuclear fuel in long-term engineered casks which are placed and sealed within excavated rooms in a geological formation at a determined depth of 500 to 1000 meters below the Earth's surface.

A geological repository involves the construction of a vault within a stable, low permeability bedrock using conventional mining techniques. The bedrock and other engineered barriers are supposed to provide ecological safety over an extended time.

deep scattering layers
The layers observed through the water column (vertical section of the sea) on echo sounders.

Echo sounders are measuring instruments that send out acoustic pulses in water and measure distances in terms of the time for the echo of the pulse to return.

SONAR is an acronym for "sound navigation ranging"; ASDIC is an acronym for "antisubmarine detection investigation committee".

The name refers to the way they scatter sound waves. The layers are typically composed of krill, midwater fish, and siphonophores (species which form complex free-swimming communities composed of numerous zooids of various kinds, or organic bodies or cells having locomotion, some of which act as floats or as swimming organs, others as feeding or nutritive zooids, and others as reproductive zooids).

Deep Sea Numerical Statistics
1. Average weight of organisms per square meter (3.28 feet) near the surface: five kilograms (eleven pounds).

By comparison, the biomass at great depths is less than one gram per square meter (3.28 feet); there, the populations are less dense, although the diversity of species is greater.

2. Rate of expansion between tectonic plates under the Arctic Ocean: seven millimeters (.28 inches) a year.

Compare this to the rate in the Pacific, where they separate at a speed of 18 centimeters (7 inches) per year; which is about twenty-five times faster.

3. Average depth of the oceans: 3,729 meters (12,234 feet or 2.32 miles).
4. Average depth of the Pacific, the deepest and largest of all oceans: 4,188 meters (13,740 feet or 2.60 miles).

By itself, it represents nearly half of the expanse of water on earth.

5. Hydrothermal sites discovered in the last 25 years: 100.
