An article in Discover for last December has a very interesting article about scientific exploration of hydrothermal vents in Indian ocean, five miles below the surface. Which reminded me of a word I accidentally found in dictionary:"hadal" designating or of the ecological zone (hadal zone) of the ocean floor trenches below c. 3,300 fathoms (c. 6,000 m)
How in Hades would I know how it is pronounced? Hey, deez is a joke.

Well, then what designates ocean floor trenches above 3,300 fathoms (c.6000 m)?
And how is this hadal pronounced? I know I could LIU, but I'd rather see it spelled out here.
Best regards,
