Being able to use the turbulence in the water to help them stay afloat is one adaptation that the plankton has to keep themselves afloat. They also use structures near the surface of the water to help them.

What adaptations do plankton have to help them avoid sinking below the photic zone?

Is there paranormal in the Bermuda triangle?

Look, maybe, maybe not. We all have different opinions, but in my case...yes. Every single person goes like: (Well, Planes crash, and boats sink!) But it's not that! You see, hundreds of people find boats...staying AFLOAT!! They go on it...and there is a full supply of food, and water. Boats in perfect shape...but...were are all the people. Known now, People find thousands of boats staying afloat in perfect condition staying afloat with full supply's, but never any people. So, to me that sounds pretty paranormal to me. About Planes...Idk. But again, think of how many people search the water of the Bermuda Triangle. No one to this day has found anything. So...PARANORMAL!

Will a sinking boat pull you underneath if you are close to it in the water?

No, although air is released, destabilizing the water, you will not be 'sucked' in, you just will have trouble staying afloat. It's not a suction, just a weak platform.


What are two types of adaptations that animals in the epipelagic zone need to survive?

1.They have to have counter shading, which is when an organism is light on the bottom and dark on the top, so when predators look down at the dark ocean floor, the organism is nearly invisible, and the same when a predator looks up at the light ocean surface the organism is nearly invisible. 2. Another adaptation is for plankton, they have to increase their body mass to increase drag, allowing them to stay afloat, because plankton, unlike nekton, cannot propel themselves, and they cannot sink otherwise they would not have enough sunlight to photosynthesize Hope this helps :)
