What else can I help you with?
What is the well lit upper layer part of the ocean is known as the?
photic zone.
Which ocean zone does sunlight penetrate?
The epipelagic zone is the region in the ocean that is exposed to a sufficient enough amount of sunlight to allow photosynthesis to occur.
Difference between photic zone and aphotic zone?
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
Which zone of the ocean accounts for virtually all of its productivity?
Photic zone
The ocean zones based on light penetration are the?
photic zone and aphotic zone
What is the photic zone fo the ocean?
the photic zone is the place where 90% of under water sea life lives. it also has the most sunlight. because it is the top of the layers of the ocean.
Which zone of the ocean can be reached by sunlight?
the neritic zone, but also the intertidal zone, well part of that zone.
What is an example of the photic zone of the ocean but not characteristic of an aphotic zone?
An example of the photic aone would be like a sea shore, coral reef, or sand bar. Although an example for an aphotic zone would be the depths of the ocean or the abyss.
What zone known as the sunlit zone stretches from the surface of the ocean down to 260 feet deep?
That is the photic zone, or euphotice zone.
In what ocean zone does the dolphin live in?
dolphins live in the pelagic zone (from shore to shore) and the Nerittic Zone (above continental shelf) and the photic zone (200m deep, where light penetrates) the are not found deeper than the photic zone
Are there nutrients in the photic zone?
Well, one time I threw a poptart in the ocean! Nutritious!
Is photosynthesis limited to the well-lit upper layer of the ocean which scientists refer to as the oceanic zone?
False, it's the Photic Zone.
