The deep sea is broadly defined as the ocean depth where light begins to fade, at an approximate depth of 200 m (660 ft) or the point of transition from continental shelves to continental slopes.

Why it spiked

Related headlines currently associated with this spike include "Scientists Collected Deep-Sea Rocks. They Spontaneously Caught Fire in The Lab."; "Deep-sea sulfide minerals can spontaneously heat and combust when exposed to air"; "Escanaba Trough Samples Collected by USGS Reveal Combustion Hazard in SMS Rock Handling". Those stories are the strongest public signal for why "deep sea" is trending in United States right now — we do not invent match results or unverified claims beyond the headline wording. Volume may already be easing after the initial spike; news-led topics often cool quickly once coverage peaks.
