Why aren't marine algae found at depths of below 200 m?
Marine algae require sunlight for photosynthesis, which is limited at depths below 200 meters due to decreased light penetration. Without sufficient light, marine algae cannot photosynthesize effectively and survive in deeper waters.
How many centimeters does the seafloor move a year?
The movement of the seafloor can vary depending on the location, but on average it moves at a rate of a few centimeters per year. This movement is a result of plate tectonics and the process of seafloor spreading.
How does the age of rocks in the seafloor provide evidence of seafloor spreading?
The age of rocks gets progressively younger as you move away from the mid-ocean ridges, where seafloor spreading occurs. This supports the theory of seafloor spreading, as new crust is being formed at the ridges and then moves away from them over time. This process leaves a record of older rocks further from the ridges and younger rocks closer to them.
Satellites can obtain information about the seafloor because?
they use sensors to measure the shallow depths of the ocean and can detect variations in sea surface height caused by the gravitational pull of the seafloor's features. This data is then used to create maps of the seafloor topography and to study ocean currents, tides, and marine habitats.
Magnetic stripes on the seafloor are caused in part by?
symmetrical spreading of the ocean floor at mid-ocean ridges, where molten material rises to create new seafloor. As this material cools and solidifies, it records the Earth's magnetic field at the time, creating magnetic stripes on the seafloor. This phenomenon provides evidence for seafloor spreading and plate tectonics.
Can Algae can survive on the seafloor?
shallow areas.
How do algae survive on the seafloor?
shallow areas
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in?
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in shallow waters where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. Deep sea areas lack sufficient light for algae to survive.
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in what?
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in shallow waters where there is enough light for photosynthesis to occur. Deeper in the ocean, there is insufficient light for algae to thrive.
Where can Algae can survive on the seafloor?
Algae can survive on the seafloor in a variety of environments, including shallow coastal areas, rocky substrates, and sandy bottoms where light penetration is sufficient for photosynthesis. They thrive in intertidal zones and kelp forests, where they can attach to rocks and other surfaces. In deeper waters, certain types of algae, such as seagrasses, can grow on the seafloor, provided there is enough light for their growth. Overall, the presence of sunlight and suitable substrates are key factors for algae survival on the seafloor.
What type of algae can survive in the deepest water?
Red algae is the only algae that can survive in the deepest water
How do animals survive the deeper parts of the seafloor?

What is the floating algae to seafloor algae ratio today?
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, specific ratios of floating algae to seafloor algae can vary significantly by region and environmental conditions. Generally, floating algae, such as phytoplankton, typically dominate in open ocean areas, while seafloor algae, like macroalgae, are more prevalent in coastal regions. The exact ratio can be influenced by factors such as nutrient availability, water temperature, and light penetration. For precise current ratios, specific research studies or monitoring data would be necessary.
What adaptations does algae need to survive?
It doesnt need that much water, even a small plastic cup would work.
Can plankton survive without algae?
no.... if there is no algae there is no plankton... if there is no plankton there is no fish or baby fish
What do damsel fish do to survive?
eat algae
What sea floor can algae survive on?
