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 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.
Is the region of no light aquatic environment?
The region where no light penetrates in an aquatic environment is known as the midnight zone. The mesopelagic zone is an area where small amounts of light penetrate.
Why is the water in the midnight zone so cold?
the light cant reach. No light noheat
Why is the light that reaches earth 2.5 million year old?
Not all light that reaches the Earth is 2.5 million years old. Light produced from a star that is 2.5 million light years away reaches Earth in 2.5 million years. Light from the sun, for example, is only 8 minutes old. Light that is reflected from the surface of the moon takes about 1.28 seconds to reach Earth.
A zone of a lake or pond where no light reaches?
Deep - Water Zone
No light ever reaches the aphotic zone in the ocean?
yes
Why cant photosynthetic organisms grow in the deep water zone of a lake?
They can't grow their because no sunlight reaches.
How does the surface of the open ocean differ from the deep zone?
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
Why can't photosynthetic organisms grow in the deep-water zone of a lake?
They can't grow their because no sunlight reaches.
What is the difference between open- water zone and deep- water zone?
Possible Answer: 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
Why is it more difficult for plants to live in the benthic zone of this lake than in limnetic zone?
Lack of Light.
The permanently dark zone below the photic zone is called what?
this could be the aphotic zone where only 1% of the surface light reaches. The Bethnic zone is the VERY bottom and is basically the sediment zone.
Which lake zone would be absent in a very shallow lake?
limnetic zone

Where does the open-water zone of lake end?
where does the open water zone of a lake end
What are the zones of a lake?
littoral zone,pelagic zone and benthic zone
