Aphotic zones are found in the depths of oceans and seas, typically below 200 meters (656 feet) where sunlight does not penetrate. These zones can also occur in large lakes and some deep river systems. The conditions in aphotic zones are characterized by darkness, high pressure, and low temperatures, creating a unique ecosystem that is home to specialized organisms adapted to survive without sunlight.
What else can I help you with?
Are tropical climate zones usually found in high latitude areas?
No. Tropical climate zones are found in lower latitudes.
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.
Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
Are all tropical zones found in high latitudes?
No. Tropical zones are between 0 degrees latitude and 23 degrees north or south.
What are the differences between an aphotic zone and an euphotic zone?
Euphotic & Aphotic zonesEuphotic zone : is the upper layer of water that receives light and thus photothensythesis is possibleAphotic zone : is the portion of ocean that is not exposed to sunlight , and extends from - 0,9 - 4.6 kmEuphotic & Aphotic zonesEuphotic zone : is the upper layer of water that receives light and thus photothensythesis is possibleAphotic zone : is the portion of ocean that is not exposed to sunlight , and extends from - 0,9 - 4.6 km
The ocean zones based on light penetration are the?
photic zone and aphotic zone
What realms or zones do whales typically inhabit?
The Pelagic Ream. Most whales live out in the open ocean, ranging between the photic and aphotic zones.
In which zone of the ocean are bioluminescent organisms found?
* Aphotic Zone
Why aphotic zone supports the least life?
The aphotic zone is the portion of a lake or ocean where there is little or no sunlight. This means the place is almost pitch black! These zones are often filled with myriad species humans have never seen before.
How are organisms in the photic and aphotic zones interdependent?
The organisms in the aphotic zone depend on the organisms in the photic zone above to die, then drift down into the deep to provide food for the organisms down in the deep. I believe that the dependence of the photic organisms upon the aphotic organisms has to do with the necessity of breaking down the biomaterials and recycling the nutrients back into the system.
Compare and contract photic and aphotic zone of marine biomes?

What is the tagalog of aphotic?

What are the life zones of the ocean?
The zones are netric and somthing ill update soon stop leaving stupid answers about peoples moms -_-
Aphotic layer information?
The aphotic zone is that part of the ocean not reached by sunlight, and aphotic plants are those that grow there without photosynthesizing. The aphotic layer of the ocean is generally starts at a depth of about 100 meters, below which there is insufficient sunlight for photosynthesis.
What are the scientific names for the ocean zones?
The ocean zones are divided into five main layers: epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, and hadalpelagic. Their scientific names are based on their depth range and physical characteristics within the ocean.
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 zone does sunlight reach through?
Sunlight can reach through all the zones of the ocean, including the epipelagic (sunlight zone), mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, and hadalpelagic zones. The intensity of sunlight decreases with depth, so the amount of light available for photosynthesis decreases below the epipelagic zone.
