Which ocean zone does zonation occur in?

Zonation occurs in the intertidal zone of oceans, where different ecological communities are organized according to their tolerance to factors like exposure to air, wave action, and salinity. This area is divided into distinct layers, including the supratidal, intertidal, and subtidal zones, each supporting specific plant and animal species adapted to their unique environmental conditions. Zonation also occurs in deeper ocean zones, such as the neritic and abyssal zones, where variations in light, pressure, and temperature create diverse habitats.


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.
