Why are living organisms more common in the littoral zone than in the benthic zone?
Hi
What animals live in the benthic zone?
Some are the Monk fish, Jumbo Octopus, or animals that live on the bottom of the ocean.
Do carnivores live in the benthic zone?
Yes there are carnivores in the benthic zone. The scavengers in the benthic zone are considered carnivores because the eat the dead aquatic animals that float to the bottom when they die. There are also some carnivorous fish in the benthic zone.
Benthos are organisms that live?
Benthic animals live in the benthic zone of the ocean. These animals include corals, sponges, anemones, jellyfish, mollusks, and other animals.
What abiotic factors do organisms that live in the benthic zone need to adapt to?
The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers. Organisms living in this zone are called benthos, e.g. the benthic invertebrate community, including crustaceans and polychaetes.[1] The organisms generally live in close relationship with the substrate bottom and many are permanently attached to the bottom. The superficial layer of the soil lining the given body of water, the benthic boundary layer, is an integral part of the benthic zone, as it greatly influences the biological activity which takes place there. Examples of contact soil layers include sand bottoms, rocky outcrops, coral, and bay mud.
Just below the ocean's pelagic zone lies the?
The area underneath the pelagic zone is called the benthic zone, or deep-sea, and is host to silt, sand, and slowly decomposing organisms.
Which of the could you find in the benthic zone of a lake?
You would fine sediment in the benthic zone, or bottom, of a lake.
What are consumers in the benthic zone?
Consumers in the benthic zone, called Zoobenthos, can range from starfish in the intertidal zone, to bottom-dwelling flatfish, to deep sea Rattails. The type of consumer is highly dependent on the specific areas in the benthic zone.
Which zone of the ocean ecosystem is the shallowest?
The benthic zone is a region at the lowest level of an ocean or lake. The intertidal zone is the shallowest part of the benthic zone.
What are the zones of a lake?
littoral zone,pelagic zone and benthic zone
What are the two subzones making up the benthic zone?
The two subzones making up the Benthic zone is the abyssal and hadal
If you were a plant which zone would be most difficult to live in?
The zone that would be most difficult for a plant to live in is the Benthic zone. It is the zone at the lowest level of a body of water.
