The hadal zone, also known as the hadopelagic zone, is the deepest region of the ocean, lying within oceanic trenches. The hadal zone ranges from around 6 to 11 km (3.7 to 6.8 mi; 20,000 to 36,000 ft) below sea level, and exists in long, narrow, topographic V-shaped depressions.[1][2]

In navigation, the drift of a vessel or aircraft is the difference between heading and its course or track, due to the motion of the underlying medium, the air or water, or other effects like skidding or slipping.

In the form of a natural crystalline mineral, salt is also known as rock salt or halite. Salt is essential for life in general, and saltiness is one of the basic human tastes. Salt is one of the oldest and most ubiquitous food seasonings, and is known to uniformly improve the taste perception of food, including otherwise unpalatable food.

An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of seawater generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbeling, and temperature and salinity differences.[1

fading moonlight reflects off his tarnished steel,
once ornate several winters ago,
he looks up at the domed worlds that float and hang,
wheeling through the horizons,
O blessed sleep,
he sank to repose, and his dreams lull him to rapture,
he envisions you ascending an icy trail with flowers in your hand,
and you descend without them,
and he is not there,
so much does suffering dull even the most fervent of men,
but why should he describe a sorrow which all have felt,
and must feel.

after what seemed like ages,
I awoke from that painful dream.
the world was still veiled by night,
and heavenly bodies flickered indifferently above me.
I found comfort in their vastness.
