The neritic zone, which extends from the low tide mark to the edge of the continental shelf, receives ample sunlight, allowing for significant photosynthetic activity. Typically, light penetrates to depths of about 200 meters in this zone, depending on water clarity. This abundant light supports diverse marine life, including various algae and phytoplankton, forming the base of the oceanic food web. Overall, the neritic zone is one of the most productive areas in the ocean due to its favorable light conditions.
What else can I help you with?
What temperature is the water in the neritic zone?
The temperature of the neritic zone is warm but gets colder the farther you move away from the shore.
What zone is the near surface zone of the ocean where light is strong enough for photosynthesis is to occur?
Neritic zone
Which life zone is more productive the neritic or the oceanic?
The neritic zone has generally well-oxygenated water, low water pressure, and relatively stable temperature and salinity levels compared to the oceanic . These, combined with presence of light and the resulting photosynthetic life, make the neritic zone the location of the majority of sea life.
Is there sunlight of the neritic zone?
The Neritic Zone is the region that receives lots of sunlight and extends to a depth of about 200 meters.
Is the neritic zone is the part of the ocean located above the continental shelf?
The neritic zone is the relatively shallow part of the ocean above the drop off of the continental shelf. The neritic zone is also known as the coastal water, coastal ocean or the sublittoral zone.
How do you spell neritic?
That is the correct spelling of "neritic" which refers to the sublittoral oceanic zone.
What is the environmental habit of the neritic zone?
in the neritic zone lives PLANKTON and lots of other small fish and few plants.
Explain how neritic-zone conditions support the grownth of plankton?
Lots of sunlight reaches the neritic zone and supports the growth of plankton, that pretty much sums it up but i don't know the actual answer. Sorry
What producers are in the Neritic zone?
Producers in the neritic zone include phytoplankton, seaweed, and seagrasses. These organisms use sunlight for photosynthesis to produce energy for themselves and serve as the base of the food chain in this zone.
What is the temperature of the neritic zone?
3,333
Is coral in the neritic zone?
Yes.
The location of the neritic zone is determined by what-?
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).
