There are three light zones in the ocean.
1) Sunlight Zone, also called the Euphotic Zone. The Sunlight Zone gets lots of light.
2) Twilight Zone, also called the Disphotic Zone. The Twilight Zone gets little light.
3) Midnight Zone, also called the Aphotic Zone. The Midnight Zone gets absolutely no light.
As the depth increases, the amount of light decreases and the pressure decreases.
sunlight zone
Because it is so far deep only 1% of light gets through
there isn't very much light in the abyss zone of the ocean, the sun can hardly get to it
photic zone and aphotic zone
Sun light zone of the ocean
Aphotic zone is the area of a lake or an ocean which gets little or no sunshine throughout the year.
Zone away from shore upto effective light penetration .
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.
yes
The aphotic zone is the deepest part of the ocean where sunlight cannot reach. It is characterized by complete darkness and is home to various deep-sea organisms that have adapted to survival without light. The aphotic zone starts below the photic zone, which is the upper layer of the ocean where sunlight can penetrate.
Neritic zone
The sunlit zone is the uppermost layer of the ocean where sunlight penetrates, supporting photosynthesis and providing energy for many marine organisms. This zone extends from the surface down to around 200 meters in depth, depending on water clarity.
