Aphotic zone is the area of a lake or an ocean which gets little or no sunshine throughout the year.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
Photic Zone: part of the ocean that receives sunlight Aphotic Zone: area in an ocean where sunlight does not reach and photosynthesis does not occur
Since the aphotic zone does not receive sunlight it relys on the photic zone for the sunlight which in terms it does penetrate.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
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.

The average temperature in the aphotic zone of the ocean is around 2-4 degrees Celsius. This zone is characterized by complete darkness and colder temperatures due to the lack of sunlight penetration.
