English term

haystack zone

English to Romanian Science Science (general)
Ecosisteme submarine în Atlanticul Central:
Around the haystack zone are gentler slopes, where you get really thick deposits of marine snow. And so you get very little life. And it's the haystacks where you get the life. Animals can settle there, and they can stick themselves out into the current, and feed on the snow.

forma?iuni calcaroase

Nu ?tiu dac? exist? un termen anume, dar "haystack zone" este de fapt un munte, vârf, forma?iune de calcar.

"From 650 to 1,000 feet, living formations give way to limestone pinnacles that house deep-sea creatures, such as stalked crinoids, porcelain corals and glass sponges. Termed the "haystack" zone, the haystacks or limestone blocks stand over 150 feet tall. Here, light no longer penetrates the sea and the research sub illuminates the inky blackness with powerful lights."

coloane de calcar

Din câte ştiu eu aceste formaţiuni au forma unor coloane imense de calcar, astfel încât consider mai potrivit să-i spunem coloane.
