Photosynthesis.
The point in the body of water that is most likely to be in the aphotic zone is the deepest point. The aphotic zone is the layer of a body of water where sunlight doesn't reach, so it typically starts at deeper depths where light penetration is limited or absent.
Aphotic zone is the area of a lake or an ocean which gets little or no sunshine throughout the year.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
Aphotic = no light so it is the zone below the depth of where light can penetrate. Depends on several things. The clarity of the water. less stuff in the water the farther light can go. There are no plants in the aphotic zone. Generally, there is less oxygen (and sometimes none) in the aphotic zone, but some animals can be found there. It depends on how deep this zone is and how well mixed the water column is.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
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
Since the aphotic zone does not receive sunlight it relys on the photic zone for the sunlight which in terms it does penetrate.
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
* Aphotic Zone
Aphotic zone.
this could be the aphotic zone where only 1% of the surface light reaches. The Bethnic zone is the VERY bottom and is basically the sediment zone.
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
