The sunlit zone is the uppermost layer of the ocean where sunlight penetrates, supporting photosynthesis and providing energy for many marine organisms. This zone extends from the surface down to around 200 meters in depth, depending on water clarity.
Diatoms are primarily found in the sunlit zone of the ocean, also known as the euphotic zone. This zone receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, which is essential for diatoms as they are photosynthetic organisms. They are most abundant in surface waters where sunlight penetration is optimal.
Photosynthesis in the ocean primarily occurs in the upper sunlit layer called the euphotic zone, which typically extends to about 200 meters deep. This zone receives enough sunlight for photosynthetic organisms like phytoplankton to convert carbon dioxide and nutrients into organic matter. Below this depth, sunlight is limited, restricting photosynthesis.
No, the tidal zone refers to the area of the shoreline that is submerged and exposed by the tides. The twilight zone, on the other hand, is a layer of the ocean that lies below the sunlit surface waters and above the deep ocean, where sunlight is scarce.
That IS the scientific name.
The SUNLIT ZONE is this warm and sunny zone supports most of the life in the ocean.
The twilight zone is the one under the sunlit zone
NO
Yes, shrimp do live in the sunlit zone. Even though shrimp are bottom dwellers, they typically stick to shallower waters. The sunlit zone refers to the amount of light in the water, and not so much the depth.
the sunlit zone
It is estimated that about 90% of marine creatures live in the sunlit zone, also known as the euphotic zone. This zone receives sunlight and is where photosynthesis mostly occurs, supporting a diverse range of organisms.
no plants can grow in any zone but the sunlit zone
Yes
jelly fish
in the water
The sunlit zone, also known as the euphotic zone, is the uppermost layer of the ocean where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. It typically extends from the surface down to about 200 meters deep, varying depending on water clarity and the angle of the sun.
Yes they do live in the sunlit zone. they feed on plankton which also lives in this zone
