Characteristics of the neritic zone?
The neritic zone is the shallow region of the ocean that extends from the low-tide mark to the edge of the continental shelf. It is characterized by high biological productivity due to ample sunlight and nutrient availability, supporting diverse marine life. The water in the neritic zone is typically warmer and more nutrient-rich compared to the deeper oceanic zones.
What is the average temperature in the neritic zone?
The neritic zone is the shallow part of the ocean above the continental shelf. The neritic zone is also referred to as the coastal waters or the sublittoral zone. As the temperature remains stable as it a well lite area, the temperature range would only vary by location. Those areas closer to the equator would be warmer than the polar regions.
Are Shelf-Mushrooms edible?
Well, it depends on WHAT SPECIES of shelf mushroom it is. The term 'shelf mushroom' is extremly genralized, usually applying to any mushroom that looks like, well, a shelf. So, for me or anyone else, u need to be MUch more specific.
Primary consumers of the neritic zone?
The neritic zone is the first 200 meters of ocean water, including most of the continental shelf. The primary consumers of the neritic zone are sea birds, herrings, mackerels, tunas and smaller species of fish.
Abiotic factors of the benthic zone?
Starts at the continental shelf, and continues down the continental slope to the abyssal plain,the pressure increases as you go downthe organisms decrease as the pressure increases
Where is the ocean more shallow?
The continental shelf is the shallow part of the ocean.
What is the shallow part of the ocean?
The continental shelf
The shallow ocean bottom extending from the continents for about 30 miles is the?
continental shelf
A steep continental shelf offshore of a coastal community will likely result in worse storm surge impacts than if the shelf were shallow?
False a steep shelf slows the surge. while a slopping shelf will let the water flow.
What is the gently sloping shallow area of the ocean floor that extends outward from the edge of the continent?
continental shelf
What is the term for part of a continent that extends outward from the landmass beneath relatively shallow seawater?
The continental shelf is the term for part of a continent that extends outward from the landmass beneath shallow seawater. The drop-off point of a continental shelf is called the shelf break. From this point, the continental goes down to the deep ocean floor.
What do you call a shallow sea-bed bordering a continent?
Continental shelf
Region of shallow ocean water over the continental shelf?
neritic
What is the shallow water body bordering the continents?
It is known as the continental shelf.
What is a shallow area surrouding a major land mass called?
A shelf sea is a relatively shallow water area formed by the continental shelf.
Is the continental shelf shallow?
falseeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
What part of the Ocean floor has the most shallow water?
The continental shelf typically has the most shallow water on the ocean floor. This is the submerged edge of a continent that extends from the shoreline to a steeper drop-off point called the continental slope. The shallow waters of the continental shelf are important for marine life and are commonly where coastal communities are located.
