What happens in a aphotic zone of body water?
There is no photosynthesis
What are the depths for the aphotic zone?
The aphotic zone is the depth of a lake or ocean where less than 1% of sunlight reaches. In the ocean it begins around 650-3,000 feet, but it depends on water conditions (how dark or murky the water is).
What zone does sunlight reach through?
aphotic zone
What is the difference between photic and aphotic?
"Photo" means light, so the difference is that one zone has light and the other has no light. (The prefix "a" means "without")
What part of the ocean does sunlight not reach?
AnswerAphotic Zone or 'Midnight' Zone.No Sunlight Reaches the Layer of Oceanreferred to as the Aphotic Zone or 'Midnight' Zone- this is at Ocean Depths of 1000+ Meters. The Aphotic Zone (sometimes called the 'Midnight' Zone), exists at depths below 1000 meters. No Sunlight Reaches this Zone at all, it is completely absent of light; hence the slang term for it, the 'Midnight' Zone.Detailed ExplanationOceans consist of 3 Zones, the Zones are classified by the amount of Light that passes through. The top two Ocean layers allow for Sunlight to penetrate through, however NOT the Third & Deepest Ocean Layer.Euphotic Zone or 'Sunlight' Zone - Depth 200 Meters:The top most 200 meters of ocean is called the Euphotic Zone (or called the 'Sunlight' Zone). Sunlight travels easily through this Zone of the Ocean and plant-life is widespread.Dysphotic Zone or 'Twilight' Zone - Depth 200 Meters - 1000 Meters:This layer, immediately beneath the Euphotic Zone/'Sunlight' Zone, between 200 meters and 1000 meters is called the Dysphotic Zone (or more commonly called the 'Twilight' Zone). Sunlight dissipates quickly as the depth increases, and very little light penetrates throughout this, Dysphotic Zone.Aphotic Zone or 'Midnight' Zone - Depth 1000+ Meters:The Aphotic Zone (sometimes called the 'Midnight' Zone), exists at depths below 1000 meters. No Sunlight Reaches this Zone at all, it is completely absent of light; hence the slang term for it - 'Midnight' Zone.

A body of freshwater is shown below. Which point in this body of water is most likely to be in the aphotic zone?
Point D
What is aphotic zone in the water?
It is so cold.
What is the aphotic zone and what plants and animals live there?
Aphotic = no light so it is the zone below the depth of where light can penetrate. Depends on several things. The clarity of the water. less stuff in the water the farther light can go. There are no plants in the aphotic zone. Generally, there is less oxygen (and sometimes none) in the aphotic zone, but some animals can be found there. It depends on how deep this zone is and how well mixed the water column is.
What is water pressure in the aphotic zone?
It is so cold.
What determines whether a zone is photic or aphotic?
The aphotic zone is formally defined as the depth beyond which less than 1% of sunlight penetrates.
Where is a aphotic zone located?
At the surface of the water to about 100 meters under the water.. The zone that receives the most sunlight.
What are the depths for the aphotic zone?
The aphotic zone is the depth of a lake or ocean where less than 1% of sunlight reaches. In the ocean it begins around 650-3,000 feet, but it depends on water conditions (how dark or murky the water is).
What is the average temperature in the aphotic zone?
the temp. of the aphotic zone biome is freezing and gets colder in depth.
What is the aphotic zone?
Aphotic zone is the area of a lake or an ocean which gets little or no sunshine throughout the year.
