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.
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.
If in shallow water, the plants that grow on the bottom, but if on deep water, on floating algae.
Plants in the ocean typically grow in the euphotic zone, which is the upper layer where sunlight penetrates and allows for photosynthesis to occur. This zone usually extends to around 200 meters deep, but can vary based on water clarity and other factors.
Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.
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.
Because it just doesn't happen.
Life is abundant in the surface zone due to sun light is available for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis can only occur 100-200 meters down.
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.
False.

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.

k
it has so many plants because the plants can do photosynthesis. unlike in the deep ocean with no sunlight
Not enough light penetrates to allow photosynthesis.

A Deep Sea Current is a ocean current formed by density.
