What is a open-ocean zone?
Zone away from shore upto effective light penetration .
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
The permanetly dark zone below the photic zone is called the?
The dark zone, where less than 1% of light can filter through is called the aphotic zone. Aphotic is Latin for "without light"
When was In the Zone - The Outer Limits - created?
In the Zone - The Outer Limits - was created on 1998-02-20.
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
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.
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 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.
The Pressure in the abyssal zone does what?
It limits what animals can live there.
What are the limits of torrid zone?
tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricon
What ocean zone gets light?
There are three light zones in the ocean. 1) Sunlight Zone, also called the Euphotic Zone. The Sunlight Zone gets lots of light. 2) Twilight Zone, also called the Disphotic Zone. The Twilight Zone gets little light. 3) Midnight Zone, also called the Aphotic Zone. The Midnight Zone gets absolutely no light. As the depth increases, the amount of light decreases and the pressure decreases.
Does the Twilight Zone get any light?
the twilight zone get little light
