(ecology) An area of the ocean where oxygen levels are too low to support life, especially as a result of pollution.
Red circles show the location and size of many dead zones (in 2008). Black dots show dead zones of unknown size. The size and number of marine dead zones—areas where the deep water is so low in dissolved oxygen that sea creatures cannot survive (except for some specialized bacteria)—have grown in the past half-century.
(sports, gridiron football) The part of the field where a player is on their opponent's side of the field but kicking a field goal would probably be unsuccessful and punting the ball would not dramatically change field position.
The Colorado Mesa Mavericks attempt a 54-yard field goal from the 37-yard line against the Texas A&M-Commerce Lions in 2016. A field goal from that range has a low rate of success but was chosen over punting or going for a fourth down conversion.
