Answer:
Three factors are used.
The availability of sunlight.
The distance from shore and
The water depth.
Explanation:
<u>Availability of Sunlight
</u>
The photic zone is the upper part of the ocean into which sunlight penetrates.
<u>Distance from Shore
</u>
The intertidal zone is the strip of land where the land and ocean meet and overlap, or the zone between high and low tides.
The neritic zone is the marine-life zone that extends from the low-tide line out to the shelf break.
The oceanic zone is the marine-life zone beyond the continental shelf.
<u>Water Depth</u>
The pelagic zone is open zone of any depth. Animals in this zone swim or float freely.
The benthic zone is the marine-life zone that includes any sea-bottom surface regardless of its distance from shore.
The abyssal zone is a subdivision of the benthic zone characterized by extremely high pressures, low temperatures, low oxygen, few nutrients, and no sunlight
