The depth depends on the trenches and valleys in the area.
The ocean floor is which ocean zone.
An abyssal plain is an underwater plain on the deep ocean floor usually found lying between the foot of a continental rise and a mid ocean ridge.
The abyss because it is a zone of complete darkness no sunlight enters at all.
Ocean zone with no light very cold water and high pressure.
Japan s marina trench is the deepest part of the ocean ever to be explored by man and it sits at 35 797 feet.
The hadalpelagic zone is also called the trenches and is found from the ocean basin and below.
A gently sloping shallow area of the ocean floor that extends outward from the edge of a continent.
With the light come heat.
It is also known as the sunlight zone because this is where most of the visible light exists.
The oceanic zone is typically defined as the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf but operationally is often referred to as beginning where the water depths drop to below 200 meters 660 feet seaward from the coast to the open ocean.
Ocean zone that includes all of the ocean floor deep and shallow parts continental shelf.
Plankton and jellyfish are drifters that inhabit this zone.
Epipelagic zone the surface layer of the ocean is known as the epipelagic zone and extends from the surface to 200 meters 656 feet.
This zone is divided further into three subzones.
Shallow area of ocean floor that extends from continents.
Below the sunlit zone is the twilight zone where some light penetrates the ocean to a depth of 3000 feet.
The sunlit zone is where photosynthesis takes place.
The deep zone is also known as.
Incline beyond the continental shelf.
Scientists basically divide the ocean depths into 5 main layers of the ocean or ocean zones which extend from the surface to very deep we re talking 36 000 feet which is more than a mile deeper than mount everest is tall.
The area of the ocean beyond the continental shelf that includes the water column and the deepest darkest parts of the ocean deep zone from 1 km to the ocean floor this layer of the water column is the darkest coldest and harshest.
Most animals living in the open ocean live in the sunlit zone.
This heat is responsible for the wide range of temperatures that occur in this zone.
