Why some ocean zones have lot of life and zones have only little bit of life?

Any zone that sunlight can reach tends to have abundant life. In the depths, where sunlight can't reach, life becomes sparse and difficult unless the life has become specialised to withstand the huge pressures and darkness.

Is ocean floor subducted at transform boundaries?
No, only at subduction zones.
Which ocean zone would seem likely to support Marin life?
The only parts of the ocean that cannot support life are those without or with depleted levels of dissolved oxygen (anoxyic). There are some bacteria that live in these places, but not multicellular life. All other ocean zones have life, though in different degrees of intensity. Obviously a coral reef has more life and more species than a benthic (deep water) trench, but there is abundant specialised life in the benthic zones, regardless.

How do conditions in the open ocean neritic zones differ?
First, only a small part of the open ocean receives sunlight. Second, the water has fewer nutrients.
What life zone do seaweed live in?
Seaweed that requires sunlight for photosynthesis can only exist in the upper zones of the ocean.
In which of the plate boundaries is material only created?
At the divergence plate boundary, which are constructive zones, of spreading or separating tectonic plates mostly at ocean floors.
Which planet has the only planet with ocean and life?
Earth (obviously).
Is the mageladon still alive?
Only a little bit of the ocean is discovered so it may be alive lurking in the deep ocean
What causes so many earthquakes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
Earthquakes are actually very rare in the Atlantic Ocean as the only subduction zones in the Atlantic basin are along the eastern edge of the Caribbean Plate and the eastern edge of the Scotia Plate. Since these subduction zones are small, they are not exceptionally active and that accounts for the low incidence of earthquakes. Hope this helps.
What are the three zones in the goods and services that organized crime offers?
i only know two and they are zones of distribution and zones of production.
What is Reason for Time zones?
Time zones simply create a workable 'day' and 'night'. If countries didn't use time zones (and the whole planet worked on the same time), people would be going to bed at (for example) 9am just because it was dark then. Time zones bring sensibility to daily life. The only disadvantage - is having to adjust to different times when you travel overseas. For example - it might be 8am when you depart, but (after travelling through a number of time zones) - it might only be 2am local time.
