The top layer is named the Sunlight zone. The middle layer is The Twilight Zone. very bottom where there is no light is called the Midnight zone. I hope this answers your question.

How do animals adapt in the epipelagic zone?

The epipelagic zone is uppermost part of the oceanic zone to allow for photosynthesis. Animals and life in this region must adapt to lower levels of sunlight and reduced oxygen use.


What is the name of the area underground that rainwater passes through?

The area underground that rainwater passes through is called the "unsaturated zone" or "vadose zone." This zone lies between the ground surface and the water table, and it allows rainwater to percolate through soil and rock.


How many ocean zones are there?

There are typically five main ocean zones: the epipelagic zone (surface to 200 meters), the mesopelagic zone (200-1,000 meters), the bathypelagic zone (1,000-4,000 meters), the abyssopelagic zone (4,000-6,000 meters), and the hadalpelagic zone (deeper than 6,000 meters).


List six distinct ecological zones that can be found in the ocean?

The six distinct ecological zones in the ocean are the epipelagic zone (sunlight zone), mesopelagic zone (twilight zone), bathypelagic zone (midnight zone), abyssopelagic zone (abyssal zone), hadalpelagic zone (trench zone), and intertidal zone (shoreline area). Each zone has unique characteristics and supports different types of marine life.


What kinds of animals live in the Neretic Zone?

From Wikipedia: The neritic zone, also called the sublittoral zone[1], is the part of the ocean extending from the low tide mark to the edge of the continental shelf, with a relatively shallow depth extending to about 200 meters. The neritic zone has generally well-oxygenated water, low water pressure, and relatively stable temperature and salinity levels. These, combined with presence of light and the resulting photosynthetic life, such as phytoplankton and floating sargassum[2], make the neritic zone the location of the majority of sea life. Zooplankton, free-floating creatures ranging from microscopic diatoms to small fish and shrimp, live in this zone, and together with phytoplankton form the base of the food pyramid that supports most of the world's great fishing areas. At the edge of the neritic zone the continental shelves end, rapidly descending to the deeper oceanic crust and the pelagic zone.
