Intertidal Zones
These are the two biggest problems of Splash zone life
What is changes in salinity and temperature?
This is the area of the ocean also know as the euphotic zone
What is the photic zone?
This intertidal zone is most likely to have tidepools
What is the high tide zone?
This has mountains, plains, and ridges just like the land we live on.
What is the Ocean Floor?
This ocean zone is home to most living things in the ocean.
What is the photic zone
This zone is where most photosynthesis takes place
What is the sunlight zone.
In this tidal zone, organisms need water. You might find jellyfish here
What is the subtidal zone?
These features of the ocean floor are very deep and similar to canyons on land.
What are ocean trenches.
This happens to the temperature and the pressure as you travel deeper into the ocean
What is low temperature and high pressure?
This zone receives very little sunlight.
What is the twilight zone (dysphotic)
Name the 3 zones of the ocean.
What is the Sunlight, Twilight, and Midnight or photic, disphotic and aphotic
This tidal zone has the most diverse amount of organisms
What is the low tide zone?
The deepest ocean trench in the world is located in this ocean. (Or you may just name the deepest trench)
What is the Pacific Ocean? Or What is the Mariana Trench?
An organism in this zone would likely have, small eyes, large mouth and an organ that produces some light.
What is the midnight zone (aphotic)
This is the zone where the giant squid, blob fish, prickly shark, and the oar fish would live.
What is the Twilight Zone (dysphotic).
In this zone many living things have soft bodies and large eyes.
What is the twilight zone.
Name the 5 tidal zones
What is splash zone, high tide, middle tide, low tide and subtidal?
This is the word for deep ocean water carrying nutrients into the intertidal zones
What is upwelling
Why do fish in the Midnight Zone (aphotic) not move very much?
What is because of the pressure and little oxygen. (To conserve energy)
This is the type of technology that helps scientists explore the ocean floor.
What is Sonar.
These are the base of the food chain in the ocean and produce more oxygen than all the trees on land.
What are phytoplankton?
