The open water zone is beneath the littoral zone and is only as light can reach. The deep water zone is below the open water zone where no light reaches
What else can I help you with?
What is the surface of the open ocean?
deep zone
What is the temp of the open ocean zone?
surface/ open ocean zone was warmer than the deep ocean. Sunlight can reach the open ocean so the temp. is warm.
What is the depth of the open-ocean zone?
The open ocean is split up into three parts: the intertidal zone (near the surface) the neritic zone (on the continental shelf) and the deep ocean zone. The deep-ocean zone's depth ranges from 200-9,000 meters. it is filled with a fishes bad romance from lady gaga
On the surface of the open ocean?
Yes.
Why is most productivity in open oceans limited to surface water?
Areas of the open ocean are often very deep. Primary productivity relies on sunlight, and sunlight only penetrates the first 10m or so (varies widely) of the ocean surface. Therefore, only this surface zone is photosynetically productive, which in turn fuels secondary (small crustaceans, zooplankton, etc.) and tertiary (fish) production.
What is on the surface of the open ocean?
It becomes a reef.
How deep is the highest part of the open ocean?
5 miles
How much light is in the open ocean?
Very much because the open ocean is basically the surface-ish area.
What bomie is on the surface of the open ocean?
It becomes a reef.
What are the boundaries of the open ocean-?
100m deep to to 400m deep
What part of the ocean supports the largest variety of organisms?
open-ocean surface zone
Are the three major kinds of marine habitats shallow ocean waters open sea surface and deep sea waters?
This is very much a matter of the detail you wish to go into. Marine habitats can be divided into coastal and open ocean habitats. You might distinguish between warmer and colder surface waters, or the different levels of the deep sea such as benthic, demersal and pelagic. There are vast differences as habitats between a kelp bed and a coral reef.
