The three ocean light zones are known as the "photic" zones. The Greek root photic means light.
§ The Euphotic Zone:
extends from 0m to 80m
means "full of light". In this light zone
enough light penetration for green plant growth.
§ The Disphotic Zone:
extending from 80m to approximately 200m
means "partial light"
Variety of blue-green light here.
§ The Aphotic Zone:
extending beyond the 200m mark
means "without light"
any life in this region must survive without light.
In other curtailed words - the sunlight zone, The Twilight Zone and the midnight zone.

What criteria are used for determining ocean zones?
Ocean zones are determined based on depth and distance from the shore. The main criteria used are the amount of light that penetrates the water, temperature, and the presence of marine life. These criteria help scientists classify the ocean into distinct zones like the sunlight zone, twilight zone, and midnight zone.
What deep ocean feature form at subduction zones?

What are the key zones and organisms in an ocean biosystem?
Key zones in an ocean biosystem include the surface zone where most sunlight penetrates, the twilight zone where light diminishes, and the deep zone where no sunlight reaches. Organisms in these zones include phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish, marine mammals, and deep-sea creatures like anglerfish and grenadiers.
What are 3 different types of earthquakes?
(1)mid ocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.
What is the order of ocean zones?
The order of ocean zones, from the surface to the deep ocean, are the epipelagic zone, mesopelagic zone, bathypelagic zone, abyssopelagic zone, and hadalpelagic zone. Each zone has unique characteristics based on depth, light availability, and the organisms that thrive there.
Zones of the ocean?
The ocean can be divided into several zones: the sunlight zone (photic zone) where most marine life thrives and photosynthesis occurs, the twilight zone (mesopelagic zone) with limited light, the midnight zone (bathypelagic zone) with complete darkness, and the abyssal zone and hadal zone which are the deepest parts of the ocean where pressure is extreme and temperatures are near freezing.
How many light zones can the ocean be divided into?
It is divided into four zones:- Sunlight zone Twilight zone Pelagic zone Bathypelagic zone UR WRONG!!! There is five zones!! Sunlight Zone Twilight Zone Midnight Zone Abyss Zone and Trench Zone
