I get confused with all the grammar problems of “Dangling Modifier”

EX: With an average depth of about 12,000 feet, the extremes of darkness, high pressure, and cold that characterize the deep sea could not be tolerated by shallow-water animals.

I heard the problem of this sentence is dangling modifier but I can not understand,,

Have you read my post about dangling modifiers? That might help clarify things. Briefly, a dangling modifier occurs when a modifying phrase (in this case, “With an average depth of about 12,000 feet”) begins a sentence, and then is not followed immediately by the thing it’s modifying (in this case, “the deep sea”) then the modifier is said to be “dangling”—it doesn’t connect. You fix a dangling modifier by putting the thing that’s being modified right next to the modifier:

With an average depth of about 12,000 feet, the deep sea is characterized by extremes of darkness, high pressure, and cold that could not be tolerated by shallow-water animals.
