What is the temperature of the dark zone?

The dark zone of the ocean, typically found below the photic zone, generally maintains a temperature that ranges from about 0°C to 4°C (32°F to 39°F). This zone lacks sunlight, leading to cooler temperatures compared to the warmer, sunlit surface waters. The exact temperature can vary depending on the specific location and depth within the ocean.
