100
When you are watching surfers, they are in this part of the pelagic zone. (This is one of the 2 basic divisions.)
What is the neritic zone?
100
The deepest oceanic zone.
What is hadalpelagic?
100
Most benthic zones in the ocean are fairly flat and deep, and would be called this.
What is the abyssal zone?
100
An area in the ocean that has absolutely no light is in this zone.
What is the aphotic zone?
100
These are the animals that swim.
What are nekton?
200
Benthic zone where you would find a tide pool.
What is the Littoral Zone
200
The oceanoic zone containing phtosynthesizers.
What is the epipelagic zone?
200
This is the deepest benthic zone.
What is the hadal?
200
This zone includes the euphotic and dysphotic zones.
What is the photic zone?
200
These organisms can not swim agains a current.
What are plankton?
300
Most of the ocean (by volume) is made up of this pelagic zone.
What is the abyssalpelagic?
300
This pelagic zone has a root word that means middle.
What is the mesopelagic zone?
300
An organism must be tough to live in this area, as sometimes it is submerged under water, and other times it is exposed to the air.
What is the littoral/intertidal zone?
300
This light zone contains photosythesizers.
What is the euphotic zone.
300
Any organism found on or in the floor of the ocean.
What are benthos.
400
An epifauna lives in this basic division of the ocean.
What is the benthic zone?
400
There is a movie with this zone in its title. It takes place over the deep oceanic plains.
What is the abyssalpelagic?
400
The continental slope is MOSTLY in this benthic zone.
What is the bathyl.
400
This is often called the "twilight zone."
What is the dysphotic zone.
400
Sea Stars would be considered this type of organism.
What is benthos
500
This is the zone where you'd find an area of subduction. (That's where an oceanic plate plunges below a continental plate.)
What is the hadalpelagic zone?
500
This zone is also called the twilight zone.
What is the mesopelagic zone.
500
The waters above this benthic zone are the most nutrient rich.
What is the continental shelf?
500
The biggest migration on earth happens when organisms migrate from the aphotic and dysphotic zones to this zone.
What is the euphotic zone.
500
Many feather duster worms poke their mouths, and feeding appendages, out their holes to filter feed. What zone do you think they should live in and WHY?
Must be somewhere on the shelf, and the explanation should discuss productivity of the shelf region
