What is Distance from shore zone that is over the continental shelf?
Neritic Zone
What is the flat ocean zone extending from the shore that is the border of the continent?
The continental shelf.
How deep is nearshore zone?
The near-shore zone is located in the continental shelf.
Does the intertidal zone have two main areas the shore on the continental shelf and a coral reef or kelp forest?
false
The location of the neritic zone is determined by?
The Neritic zone is located in the space of ocean between shore and the continental shelf, which is still within the Photic zone (penetrated by sunlight).
What is the ocean zone that covers the continental shelf?
The ocean zone that covers the continental shelf is called the neritic zone. It extends from the shoreline to the edge of the continental shelf, which is typically around 200 meters deep. This zone is characterized by high levels of sunlight, nutrients, and biodiversity.
What is intertidal zone as it relates to oceanic lithosphere?
The intertidal zone is not related to the oceanic lithosphere because it is located on the continental shelf.
Describe the subdivisions of the continental margin?
The continental margin consists of three main subdivisions: the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise. The continental shelf is the shallow, gently sloping portion closest to the shore. The continental slope is the steeper portion that connects the shelf to the deep ocean floor. The continental rise is the transition zone between the slope and the deep ocean basin, where sediments accumulate.
What zone covers the continental shelf?
The continental shelf is covered by the neritic zone, which extends from the coast to the edge of the continental shelf where the water is relatively shallow and receives ample sunlight, supporting a diverse range of marine life.
In what ocean zone does the dolphin live in?
dolphins live in the pelagic zone (from shore to shore) and the Nerittic Zone (above continental shelf) and the photic zone (200m deep, where light penetrates) the are not found deeper than the photic zone
The Ocean zone that covers the continental shelf is?
abbysal zone
Differences between exclusive economic zone and continental shelf zone?
Same area: Lower part is continental shelf whereas the upper part is exclusive economic zone. Seabed or Subsoil is covered in continental shelf whereas above that is exclusive economic zone.
