Epipelagic Zone (Sunlight Zone)
Epipelagic Zone-The surface layer of the ocean is known
as the epipelagic zone and extends from the surface to 200
metres(656 feet).It is also known as the sgzoe
because this is where most of the visible light exists.With
the light comes heat.This heat is responsible for the wide
range of temperatures that occur in this zone
Mesopelagic Zone(Twilight Zone)
1,000m
Mesopelagic Zone Below the epipelagic zone
is the
mesopelagic zone,extending from 200 metres (656 feet)to
1.000
metres (3,281 feet).The mesopelagic zone is
sometimes referred to as thet oreae
cone.The light that penetrates to this depth is extremely faint.
It is in this zone that we begin to see the twinkling lights of
bioluminescent creatures.A great diversity of strange and
bizarre fishes can be found here.
Bthypelagice-The
next layer is called the
Bathypelagic Zone (Midnight Zone)
bathypelagic zone.It is
sometimes referred to as
4.000m
the miomest zone or the dark
zone.This zone extends from 1,000 metres (3,281 feet)down to 4.000
metres(13,124 feet).Here the only visible light is that produced by the
creatures themselves.The water pressure at this depth is immense
reaching 5,850 pounds per square inch.In spite of the pressure,a
surprisingly large number of creatures can be found here.Sperm whales
can dive down to this level in search of food.Most of the animals that live
at these depths are black or red in color due to the lack of light
Abyssopelagic-The next
Abyssopelagic Zone (The Abyss)
layer is called the abyssopelagic zone
also known as or
6.000m
simply as the.It extends from 4.000
metres(13,124 feet)to 6,000 metres (19,686 feet).The name comes from a Greek
word meaning "no bottom".The water temperature is near freezing.and there is no
light at all.Very few creatures can be found at these crushing depths.Most of these
are invertebrates such as basket stars and tiny squids.Three-quarters of the ocean
floor lies within this zone.The deepest fish ever discovered was found in the Puerto
Rico Trench()at a depth of 27,460 feet (8,372 metres)
>What different zones are there in the ocean?
The different zones in the ocean are Sunlight Zone
