The water refracts the sun's rays and the sun reaches the shallow ocean floors to enable photosynthesis. This happens so often because water reflects light and the rays go through the water, much like how you get more tan by being in the water than lying out on a towel.

What does photosynthesis not occur very deep in the ocean?

Because it just doesn't happen.


Why is life abundant in the surface zone but scarce in the deep zone of the ocean?

Life is abundant in the surface zone due to sun light is available for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis can only occur 100-200 meters down.


Why do deep ocean currents occur?

My best guess is that they occur because of warming and cooling of the surface temperature. I am sure there is a pattern of these deep ocean currents to and from the equator and the poles.


Photosynthesis can take place only near the surface of a very deep body of water.?

False.


What is lacking in the deep ocean ecosystem?

Sunlight is scarce in the deep ocean, which limits photosynthesis and primary production. This results in a lack of complex food webs and biodiversity compared to shallower regions of the ocean. Additionally, nutrient availability can be limited in deep ocean ecosystems.


Why does deep-ocean trench occur?

At deep-ocean trenches, subduction allows part of the ocean floor to sink back into the mantle. The ocean floor does not just keep spreading. Instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep-ocean trenches. Where there are trenches, subduction takes place.
