∙ 11y agoPhotic Zone: part of the ocean that receives sunlight Aphotic Zone: area in an ocean where sunlight does not reach and photosynthesis does not occur
surface/ open ocean zone was warmer than the deep ocean. Sunlight can reach the open ocean so the temp. is warm.
epipelagic zone (sunlight zone)- as deep as 200 meters, until they reach full maturation, then the will descend into the mesopelagic zone (twilight zone).
The climate in the Neritic Ocean zone is generally calm with mild temperatures. This is the area within the ocean that the sunlight can reach to the bottom of the water. This zone offers favorable conditions for many marine animals.
The photic zone of the ocean is the surface of the ocean that receives sunlight.
Sunlight can reach through all the zones of the ocean, including the epipelagic (sunlight zone), mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, and hadalpelagic zones. The intensity of sunlight decreases with depth, so the amount of light available for photosynthesis decreases below the epipelagic zone.
The term that describes the upper part of the ocean into which sunlight penetrates is called the "euphotic zone." This is where photosynthesis occurs as sunlight is able to reach the surface layers of the ocean, supporting the growth of phytoplankton and other marine plants.
No, the aphotic zone in a marine biome is the deep, dark layer where sunlight cannot penetrate. This zone lies below the photic zone, where sunlight can reach and support photosynthesis.

The order of ocean zones, from the surface to the deep ocean, are the epipelagic zone, mesopelagic zone, bathypelagic zone, abyssopelagic zone, and hadalpelagic zone. Each zone has unique characteristics based on depth, light availability, and the organisms that thrive there.
