sediment on the ocean floor
The sunlit zone is the uppermost layer of the ocean where sunlight penetrates, supporting photosynthesis and providing energy for many marine organisms. This zone extends from the surface down to around 200 meters in depth, depending on water clarity.
Diatoms are primarily found in the sunlit zone of the ocean, also known as the euphotic zone. This zone receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, which is essential for diatoms as they are photosynthetic organisms. They are most abundant in surface waters where sunlight penetration is optimal.
The ocean can be divided into several zones: the sunlight zone (photic zone) where most marine life thrives and photosynthesis occurs, the twilight zone (mesopelagic zone) with limited light, the midnight zone (bathypelagic zone) with complete darkness, and the abyssal zone and hadal zone which are the deepest parts of the ocean where pressure is extreme and temperatures are near freezing.
A Protista can be either anaerobic or aerobic. This is because some of them live at the bottom of the ocean or in hot springs.
The top vertical zone in the ocean is the epipelagic zone, also known as the sunlight zone. It extends from the surface down to about 200 meters (656 feet) and is characterized by sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis, allowing a diverse range of marine life to thrive. This zone is home to many species, including various fish, plankton, and marine mammals, making it the most biologically productive area of the ocean.
The ocean floor is the most anaerobic zone in the ocean.
The epipelagic ocean zone is most habitable.
The epipelagic ocean zone is most habitable.
The epipelagic ocean zone is most habitable.
The epipelagic zone of the ocean is where most life lives.
The Euphotic Zone has the most fish.
The deep zone
transition zone ;)
Surface Zone
The SUNLIT ZONE is this warm and sunny zone supports most of the life in the ocean.
The neritic zone has the most biomass because it contains 40 times more biomass than the rest of the ocean.
The sunlight zone. Most animal and plant life use the sun to stay alive. The most plant life is found here. There is life in all zones in the ocean but the sunlight zone has the most.
