What is benthic zone?
an area in the ocean that is from 650ft. - 6,500ft. underneath pelagic zone.
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.
What is the difference between the abyssal and berthic zone?
Abyssal plain is an underwater plain on deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3000 - 6000 meters. Abyssal zone is abyssopelagic layer of pelagic zone. Contains very deep (4,000 to 6,000) benthic communities near bottom of oceans.
What are the three life zones of Marine Biomes?
There are four major zones of the open ocean biomes, which are grouped as such: the intertidal zone, the pelagic zone, the benthic zone and the abyssal zone. The environments found in each vary greatly, and they play host to a diverse population of ocean flora and fauna.
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.
What environment does a harbor seal live in Benthic or Pelagic zone?
pelagic
What are the zones of a lake?
littoral zone,pelagic zone and benthic zone
What are The three zones of a lake?
littoral zone,pelagic zone and benthic zone
What is the region above the benthic zone called?
it is called the pelagic zone.
What is benthic zone?
an area in the ocean that is from 650ft. - 6,500ft. underneath pelagic 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.
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.
What is the difference between the abyssal and berthic zone?
Abyssal plain is an underwater plain on deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3000 - 6000 meters. Abyssal zone is abyssopelagic layer of pelagic zone. Contains very deep (4,000 to 6,000) benthic communities near bottom of oceans.
What are the ocean zones of a marine ecosystem from the shallowest to the deepest?
There are two major ocean zones, Pelagic and Benthic zones. The Pelagic zone is the open ocean and the Benthic zone is the ocean bottom.
What is the difference between the abyssal plain the abyssal zone?
Abyssal plain is an underwater plain on deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3000 - 6000 meters. Abyssal zone is abyssopelagic layer of pelagic zone. Contains very deep (4,000 to 6,000) benthic communities near bottom of oceans.

Do the blue whales live in the benthic habitat?
Benthic is the seafloor or floor of a lake. Clams would live there. Whales live in the Pelagic zone. I'm in biology now and we just had that question!
