Open sea zone is the area of the coastal areas above the sea bed and cover the continental shelf where large Marine organism are present and there is enough sunlight algae organism use to photosynthesize and produce food for the Marine organisms by converting carbondioxide and water into carbohydrates.
The zone stretches from the surface , to the middle and depth of 200 m.
The surface zone is the area where light penetrates most , the transition stretches from the surface zone downward, in this zone light penetrates bit not as much as surface zone and in the deep zone, it stretches from the transition zone downward to a depth of 200 meters and don't have enough light penetration compare to surface and transition.
The correct answer is C. deep zone, surface zone, transition zone
Explanation:
The edgenuity transcript says:
"The open ocean zone can also be divided into three separate areas. So let's take a look at those areas. The regions of the open ocean zone. The open ocean zone can be further divided into three distinct zones. You've got the surface zone, this is the surface layer of the ocean, and it's where most of the visible light exists. Most of the creatures in the open ocean live in the surface zone. You've got the transition zone. Now, the transition zone is the area between the surface waters and the deep waters. Here, the water rapidly changes temperature as the sun's reach diminishes. Few organisms live in this region. Last, you have the deep zone. In the deep zone, or in the deep sea, the water is frigid and very little life can survive. Although we have much of the deep zone left to explore, we have found life near hydrothermal vents."
