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.
What major world biome are tide pools located in?
Tide pools an be found in both marine and freshwater biomes. They are typically found in the intertidal zone of the ocean.
A body of freshwater is shown below. Which point in this body of water is most likely to be in the aphotic zone?
Point D
Is a biome larger than a biosphere?
No. Biomes are areas that exhibit the same physical characteristics, such as the rainforest biome. The biosphere is the collection of all ecosystems, meaning the entire area of life, extending from the atmosphere (birds) down to the lowest trenches in the sea. Basically, the biosphere is the "zone of life". A biome is just an area of that entire zone of life.
What is the biome in new Delhi?
The forest and wildlife dept of government of India has indentified 10 biogeographical zones: 1 Himalayan zone. 2 Desert zone. 3 Semiarid zone. 4 Western ghat zone. 5 Deccan platea zone. 6 Gangetic plain zone. 7 North east zone. 8 Coastal zone. 9 Islands present near the shore line. 10 Trans Himalyan zone
What is the portion of the marine biome that is too deep for sunlight to penetrate?
aphotic zone
What is the average temperature in the aphotic zone?
the temp. of the aphotic zone biome is freezing and gets colder in depth.
What determines whether a zone is photic or aphotic?
The aphotic zone is formally defined as the depth beyond which less than 1% of sunlight penetrates.
Which zone has been the most difficult for marine biologists to explore?
aphotic zone
Explain why the photic and aphotic zone of marine biomes are interdependent?
Since the aphotic zone does not receive sunlight it relys on the photic zone for the sunlight which in terms it does penetrate.
Which marine animal is the pelagic animal of aphotic zone?
sea squid
What makes the oceans aphotic zone comparable to a desert biome?
figure it out slacker asdfghjkl.
What type of marine ecosystems do you think supports the least life?
aphotic zone
What is the climate zone of the marine biome?
a weird zone
To what depth does sunlight penetrate the ocean?
Sunlight sufficient to power photosynthesis in marine plants penetrates to a depth of approximately (~660 feet). Sunlight decreases from this depth to approximately 900 meters (~3000 feet) where sunlight no longer penetrates. This sunlight-less region is known as the aphotic zone.
What distinguishes the photic zone from the aphotic zone in marine ecosystems?
photic and aphotic derive their names fron the root word photo means light that is photic and aphotic zone differ each other in amount of light reaching there photic zone is directly lit up by by solar energy while aphotic zone is perpetually dark inhabiting least amount of floran fauna
