What ocean zone does the Blue Shark live in?

The Blue Shark typically inhabits the epipelagic zone, which is the uppermost layer of the ocean where there is sufficient light for photosynthesis. This zone extends from the surface to around 200 meters deep.


Where do Merlins live?

Are there Birds in the middle of the ocean?

Some bird species are capable of flying long distances over the ocean and may be observed far from land. These birds, known as pelagic birds, are adapted to life at sea and can travel vast distances in search of food and suitable breeding sites.


How far down from the surface of the ocean is the pelogic zone?

The pelagic zone refers to the open ocean water that is not close to the shore or the ocean floor. It typically extends from the surface of the ocean down to about 6,000 meters (approximately 20,000 feet) in depth, encompassing various sub-zones such as the epipelagic (0-200 meters), mesopelagic (200-1,000 meters), bathypelagic (1,000-4,000 meters), and abyssopelagic (4,000-6,000 meters).


What is petagic zone?

I wonder if you mean pelagic zone?Any water in the sea that is not close to the bottom is in the pelagic zone. The word pelagic comes from the Greek πέλαγος or pélagos, which means open sea. It can be thought of in terms of an imaginary cylinder or water column that goes from the surface of the sea almost to the bottom, like the diagram on the left. Conditions change as you go deeper down the water column; the pressure increases and there is less light. Depending on the depth, scientists further subdivide the water column, rather like the earth's atmosphere is divided into different layers.

What are kelp benthic or pelagic?

"Benthic" refers to the '''bottom''' of a body of water (bethos means life living at the bottom or greatest depth of an ocean, lake, river, etc). "Pelagic" refers to the '''top''' or upper layers of a body of water. For example, phytoplankton are located in the pelagic zone since they need sunlight to perform photosynthesis and produce nutrients.
