The permanetly dark zone below the photic zone is called the?
The permanently dark zone below the photic zone is called the aphotic zone. In this region, sunlight is unable to penetrate deep enough for photosynthesis to occur, resulting in a lack of primary production by plants. Organisms in this zone rely on alternative energy sources, such as detritus and chemosynthesis.
What is the permanently dark section of the ocean called?
aphotic zone
At what depth does light fail to penetrate water?
The upper 100 -200 m of the ocean is called the Photic zone (photo = light).At about 150 meters 99% of light is absorbed.Beyond the Photic zone, light does not penetrate, and it is pitch dark.
What distinguishes the photic zone from the photic 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
What distinguishes the photic zone from the aphotic zone in marine ecosystems?

What are some ways in which life in an aphotic zone might differ in a photic zone?

What is the region about below about 200 m in an open ocean is called?
It is called dark zone
What layer is permanently devoid of light?
The layer that is permanently devoid of light is the abyssal zone, which lies beneath the photic zone of the ocean, typically at depths greater than 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). In this dark region, no sunlight penetrates, resulting in extreme conditions with high pressure and low temperatures. The abyssal zone is home to unique organisms that have adapted to survive without light, relying on chemosynthesis or scavenging.
What is the aphotic zone?
Aphotic zone is the area of a lake or an ocean which gets little or no sunshine throughout the year.
What is the region 200 m below the open sea?
the region is called dark zone
