What is the difference between the pelagic zone and the benthic zone?

the depth of the pelagic zone is 11 kilograms


Which marine zone is divided vertically by depth into three additional zones?

The marine zone that is divided vertically by depth into three additional zones is the pelagic zone. The three zones within the pelagic zone are the epipelagic zone (0-200 meters), the mesopelagic zone (200-1,000 meters), and the bathypelagic zone (1,000-4,000 meters). These zones represent different levels of light penetration and nutrient availability.


What is the term given to those organisms living in the pelagic zone that can swim?

Organisms living in the pelagic zone that can swim are referred to as pelagic swimmers. These organisms are adapted to a life of constant movement in the open ocean, utilizing their swimming abilities to navigate and forage for food in the vast water column.


Is pelagic zone an abiotic or biotic?

The Pelagic zone in a body of water is neither near the bottom nor the shore. Its name comes from the Ancient Greek for "open sea". Life can exist in the Pelagic zone so it is biotic, although as it gets deeper and light levels decrease, large parts of it may not see much life at all.


Just below the ocean's pelagic zone lies the?

mesopelagic zone, which is also known as the twilight zone. It is situated between the epipelagic zone above and the bathypelagic zone below. The mesopelagic zone receives only faint sunlight, leading to a dimly lit environment with unique adaptations by marine organisms to survive in such conditions.
