Euphotic zone : is the upper layer of water that receives light and thus photothensythesis is possible
Aphotic zone : is the portion of ocean that is not exposed to sunlight , and extends from - 0,9 - 4.6 km

What else can I help you with?
Which zone has been the most difficult for marine biologists to explore?
aphotic zone
The percentage of euphotic zone biomass that reaches the deep ocean floor is approximately?
The percentage of euphotic zone biomass that reaches the deep ocean floor is estimated to be around 1% due to the high rates of decomposition and consumption by organisms in the water column before reaching the seafloor.
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 are the three life zones of Marine Biomes?
There are four major zones of the open ocean biomes, which are grouped as such: the intertidal zone, the pelagic zone, the benthic zone and the abyssal zone. The environments found in each vary greatly, and they play host to a diverse population of ocean flora and fauna.
Are there living organism live in the aphotic zone?
Yes, there are living organisms that inhabit the aphotic zone, which is the deep, dark region of the ocean where sunlight does not penetrate. These organisms have adapted to survive in the absence of sunlight by relying on other sources of energy, such as chemosynthesis or consuming organic matter that drifts down from the sunlit surface waters. Examples of organisms found in the aphotic zone include deep-sea fish, cephalopods, and various types of invertebrates.
What zone is the near surface zone of the ocean where light is strong enough for photosynthesis is to occur?
Neritic zone
Where is the disphotic zone located?
it is the middle layer of the three zones euphotic zone, DISPHOTIC ZONE, and the darkest and deepest one of all the Aphotic zone. Don't ask me what ocean it is in because the oceans are connected all together!!!
What is a different name for the euphotic zone?
Euphotic, sunlight, epipelagic zone
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
What area between deep water waves and breaker zone?
The area between deep water waves and breaker zone is the euphotic zone
What is euphoric zone?
you mean euphotic zone...
Does the sun penetrates the aphotic zone of a marine biome?
no it does not the darkness of the water is so far down that the sunlight cannot reach the bottem of the marine biome
Which ocean zone has the most sunlight?
Oceans consist of 3 Zones, which are classified by the amount of light that passes through. The top two Ocean layers allow for sunlight to penetrate through, however NOT the third & deepest ocean zone. Euphotic Zone or 'Sunlight' Zone - Depth 200 Meters: The top most 200 meters of ocean is called the Euphotic Zone (or called the 'Sunlight' Zone). Sunlight travels easily throughout this Zone of the Ocean and plant-life flourishes in this Zone and is immensely widespread. Dysphotic Zone or 'Twilight' Zone - Depth 200 Meters - 1000 Meters: This layer, immediately beneath the Euphotic Zone/'Sunlight' Zone, between 200 meters and 1000 meters is called the Dysphotic Zone (or more commonly called the 'Twilight' Zone). Sunlight dissipates quickly as the depth increases, and very little light penetrates throughout this zone. Aphotic Zone or 'Midnight' Zone - Depth 1000+ Meters: The Aphotic Zone (sometimes called the 'Midnight' Zone), exists at depths below 1000 meters. No sunlight reaches this zone at all. It is completely absent of light; hence the slang term for it - 'Midnight' Zone.
Describe the three major ocean zones?
The three major ocean zones are the euphotic zone, the disphotic zone, and the aphotic zone. The euphotic zone is the top layer where sunlight penetrates, allowing for photosynthesis to occur. The disphotic zone is the middle layer with reduced sunlight, and the aphotic zone is the deepest layer where sunlight cannot reach, resulting in complete darkness. Each zone has unique characteristics and supports different marine life forms.
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 distinguishes the photic zone from the aphotic zone in an aquatic zone?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
What is pelagi zone euphotic zone benthic zone and abyssal zone?
Zones in the ocean.
