Main Idea
The ocean is divided into different zones based on how much sunlight reaches the water. The top layer, called the sunlight zone, is filled with light and warmth, allowing plants and many fish to live there. Below that is the twilight zone, where only a little light filters through, and animals have special eyes to see in the dim light. The deepest layer, known as the midnight zone, is completely dark and very cold, home to creatures that can make their own light.
