What else can I help you with?
What zone do electric eels live in?
-The Epipelagic zone (sunlight zone) -The Mesopelagic zone (twilight zone) -The Bathypelagic zone (midnight zone)
Which of these ocean zones has the most sunlight?
Mesopelagic :)
Which of these ocean zones is sometimes called the "twilight zone" because of how little sunlight it receives?
Mesopelagic
Which zone does the piglet squid live in?
The piglet squid lives in the epipelagic zone (sunlight zone) until they are fully matured when they descend in to the mesopelagic zone (twilight zone).
To what dept does sunlight penetrate the ocean?
Somewhere in the Mesopelagic Zone (200m to 1000m). Although enough sunlight makes it here for some animals it is too dim for photosynthesis. There is no sunlight beneath this zone.
In which ocean zone are the piglet squid found?
epipelagic zone (sunlight zone)- as deep as 200 meters, until they reach full maturation, then the will descend into the mesopelagic zone (twilight zone).
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.
Is the twilight zone the mesopelagic?
Yes, it is.
Does the noratical zone mean the same thing as the middle layer?
No, the nortical zone and the middle layer of the ocean are not the same. The nortical zone refers to the region of the ocean near the surface where there is abundant sunlight. The middle layer, also known as the mesopelagic zone, is the twilight zone where sunlight is limited and deeper-sea creatures reside.
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.
What is the division between the epipelagic and mesopelagic zones?
The division between the epipelagic and mesopelagic zones occurs at a depth of approximately 200 meters (656 feet) in the ocean. The epipelagic zone, also known as the sunlight zone, is characterized by sufficient light penetration for photosynthesis, while the mesopelagic zone, or twilight zone, experiences decreasing light levels and is home to different marine life adapted to lower light conditions. This transition marks a significant change in temperature, light availability, and biodiversity.
What is the order of ocean zones?
The order of ocean zones, from the surface to the deep ocean, are the epipelagic zone, mesopelagic zone, bathypelagic zone, abyssopelagic zone, and hadalpelagic zone. Each zone has unique characteristics based on depth, light availability, and the organisms that thrive there.
