What is the zone that begins where the intertidal zone ends?
its the sublittoral zone
What are 5 Marine Ecosystems?
- the intertidal zone - the sublittoral zone - the bathyal zone - the abyssal zone and - the hadal zone
What time zone is to the east of the mountian time zone?
The Central Time Zone is east of the Mountain Time Zone.
What best describes E soil horizon out of the following regolith zone erosion zone residual zone or leaching zone?
erosion zone
What times school zone?
A school zone is not a time zone.
Which lake zone would be absent in a very shallow lake?
limnetic zone
What is the difference between littoral zones and limnetic zones?
The littoral zone is that part of a sea, lake or river that is closest to the shore. In coastal environments, the littoral zone extends from the high water mark, which is rarely inundated, to shoreline areas that are permanently submerged. The limnetic zone is the well-lit, open surface waters in a lake, away from the shore. The vegetation of the littoral zone surrounds this expanse of open water. The limnetic zone is found just above the profundal zone. Most of a lake's photosynthesis takes place in the limnetic zone.
Which zone has the most plankton Profundal Littoral or Limnetic?
The Limnetic zone should have the most plankton, as it is the section with the best suitable conditions for organisms to thrive. The Limnetic zone is wide opened to sunlight, and is also oxygen filled. However the profundal zone has a very limmited supply of oxygen and sunlight, which makes the water cold and harder for organisms, such as plankton to thrive there.
Which zone has the greatest concentration of plankton in a fresh water lake ecosystem?
Limnetic zone for sure.
Why is it more difficult for plants to live in the benthic zone of this lake than in limnetic zone?
Lack of Light.
Where are plankton-eating fish most likely to live in a freshwater lake?
The limnetic zone
What is it called when the lakes and ponds is away from the shore but close the surface?
I think it is the limnetic zone
What is portion of the marine biome that is shallow enough for sunlight to penetrate called?
Sunlight can penetrate through the limnetic zone into the profundal zone.
What type of food is eaten in each zone of a lake?
In the littoral Zone its Sea weed, Limnetic Zone is Bitts of Chloropholic Plants, Euphotic Zone its clams or shrips that flote around. & Benthic Zone you find pizza, and hotdogs and chips and and if you're really lucky you'll find a Mc,Chicken with a spongbob toy inside you're happymeal. :D
Which zone is most likely to be home to algae?
Algae lives in every zone. Where there is a body of water algae growth of different types can take place.
Describe the three zones of a lake?
Littoral Zone - In coastal environments and biomes, the littoral zone extends from the high water mark, which is rarely inundated, to shoreline areas that are permanently submerged. It always includes the intertidal zone and is often used to mean the same as the intertidal zone. However, the meaning of "littoral zone" can extend well beyond the intertidal zone. Limnetic Zone - The limnetic zone is the well-lit, open surface waters in a lake, away from the shore. The vegetation of the littoral zone surrounds this expanse of open water and it is above the profundal zone. Profundal Zone - The profundal zone is a deep zone of a body of water, such as an ocean or a lake, located below the range of effective light penetration. This is typically below the thermocline, the vertical zone in the water through which temperature drops rapidly. The lack of light in the profundal zone determines the type of biological community that can live in this region, which is distinctly different from the community in the overlying waters. The profundal zone is part of the aphotic zone
What is the sub-littoral zone?
1. In freshwater ecosystems, an alternative name for the limnetic zone.2. The sea-shore zone lying immediately below the littoral (intertidal) zone and extending to about 200 m depth or to the edge of the continental shelf. Red and brown algae are characteristic of this area. Typical animals include sea anemones and corals on rocky shores, and shrimps, crabs, and flounders on sandy shores. It is approximately equivalent to the circalittoral zone.
