-The open ocean is subdivided into epipelagic, melagic, bathypelagic zones.

-The epipelagic zone is the sunlit zone, and receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis.  The temperature in this zone is range from 40 degrees to -3 degrees celcius. The mesopelagic zone les below the epipelagic zone, also referred to as the “Twillight Zone”, because there is little light.  Temperatures range from 5 to 4 degrees celcius.  The pressure is also higher in the epipelagic zone.  Ninety percent of the ocean lies in the bathypelagic(aphotic) zone in which no light penetrates.  This is also called the  midnight zone.  Water pressures are very tense and temperatures are near freezing range from 0 to 6 degrees celcius.

-Coastal waters where the sea bottoms is up to about 200 meters.  This part of the ocean is shallow water where large amounts of nutrients can be found.

-The aphotic zone is located in the pelagic division of the ocean.  It is dark green water that lies below the photic zone.  It’s depths exceed 200 meters located in the pelagic zone.  The temperature in this zone is zero degrees to 6 degrees

# data[].attributes.body
-Photic zone extends 70 meters (230 feet) below the surface of clear lakes and is separated by the pycnoline of the colder darker, aphotic zone. The photic zone is penetrated by light allowing photosynthesis to occur. The photosynthesis of the light creates different temperatures of the upper and lower parts of the photic zone. In shallow water, the photic zone often extends to the sediment, where rooted plants take hold. This zone extends to a depth of about 600 feet.  The depth is limited by the degree of clarity.  The presence of air bubbles, decaying organic matter, and can also limit the depth of the photic zone.

Surfgrass Lives Within The Interdal Zone

Provide A Shoreline Of Protection Against Erosion.

-

-The intertidal zone is located at the margin of the ocean, along the shoreline.  The intertidal zone has rocky cliffs, sandy beaches and estuaries where rivers empty.   Temperature can change rapidly as cold water hits the warm shells, or as the sun shines directly on newly exposed organisms.  The zone encompasses a low tide which is the area above water, and a hide tide which is the zone of that can be found under water.  Lower intertidal zone is dry, middle intertidal zone is covered with sea water, the upper intertidal zone is covered by water during high tide, and the spray zone or “desert zone” of survives on the midst of spray from the ocean. Seaweed and algae communities exist in the intertidal zone.

The main diffrence in Oligotrophic and

Eutropic is that Eutropic is  well nourished,

it is high in nutrients and is high in plant

growth. While Oligotrophic is low in nutrients

and low in plant life.

Lakes and ponds are formed from the melted glaciers, blocked rivers, and rivers that fill natural basins. In lakes and ponds, water is standing, not flowing. The water in lakes, ponds and other inland wetlands is layered by temperature, oxygen, and life. The bottom of lakes and ponds are cover with mud that has decaying remains of dead plants and other organisms. The older the body of water is the more mud there is. The shoreline and edges of lakes and ponds have a great amount of life.

Marshes and swamps are both areas of vegetation

that have a great chance of flooding. Swamps are places

that the plants make up an area that is covered in water

are mainly woody plants or trees (like a mangrove tree).

The non- woody plants are things like grasses or reeds.

Marshes are usually not as deep as swamps. Marshes are

domminated by soft-stemmed vegetaion. Marshes are also

plants and animals. Swamps and marshes can be either

freshwater, salt water, or a mixture of both.

Aphotic

Some sharks, whales, eels, crabs, octopus, plankton, squid, jellyfish. There are thousands of organisms that scientists haven't been able to find b/c of complete darkness and pressure.

ex: North Comb Jellyfish

can withstand a broad range of temperature

if food becomes limited, it can reduce its body size and go for a few weeks with limited food supply.

Photic

Plankton, sea lions, clams, crabs, fish, coral,

Ex: Smooth Giant Clam

It has 4-6 folds=prey adaptation to appear as if it has teeth

Intertidal

Have to withstand the constant change from being flooded to being dry

Crabs, barnacles, lichen, mussels, snails, sea urchins, algae

ex: Dungeness Crab

can live in places with large amounts of oxygen or little to no oxygen. helps it survive the conditions in the intertidal zone.

Neritic

Anemone, Turtles, plankton, seaweed, coral reefs, fish, dolphins.

ex: Sea Turtle

eats seaweed, crab, shrimp, algae

can stay under water for hours b/c their heart rate slows to conserve oxygen

their body tissues are also tolerant of low oxygen areas

Oceanic

Plankton, jellyfish, sharks, squid, clams, eels.

ex: Goblin Shark

Has a jaw that can retract under its mouth or protrude to grab its prey.

1. Bogs are a mossy type of wetland. Almost all of the water in a bog comes from rain or snow. The water in bogs has a low rate of oxygen, is very acidic and often cold. Sphagnum or peat moss is common in bogs.  The oxygen is low because they water doesn't easily flow in and out of them. The cold temperature makes it hard for fungi and bacteria to decompose dead plants quickly which helps the peat moss grow. The slow decomposition is the cause of the acidic water and soil.

2. Fens are a bog-like wetland. They formed after the glaciers melted. The main difference between a fen and a bog is that fens have greater water exchange and are less acidic so they soil has more nutrients. Fens are usually found near bogs and often develop into bogs.

-1.)Freshwater biomes provide half of the world's drinking water, 1/3 of the world's irrigation water, and about 90% of the world's irrigation water, and almost 90 percent of the world's bath water.

2.)Freshwater biomes do contain salt. All aquatic biomes are connected some way so even freshwater has a small amount of salt.

3.) The compounds in the seawater that give it the salty taste is what keeps the waters from not freezing solid in the cold.
