In order to better understand where leatherback sea turtles live, a scientist adheres a tracking device on a leatherback sea turtle's shell. this provides the scientist with the ability to track the turtle's movements throughout the day. the scientist finds that the turtle will periodically dive from the surface down to 1,280 meters (approximately 3,900 feet), which is deeper than any other turtle species dives. what ocean zones did the leatherbacks move between and why would a sea turtle migrate in this way?
