Which of the following is NOT an Aphotic ocean zone?

• Bathypelagic

• Abyssal

• Hadal

• Epipelagic

The dim light in this disphotic zone has earned it the nickname the "Twilight" zone

• Mesopelagic

• Abyssal

• Epipelagic

• Hadal

Why does the epipelagic zone have the most biodiversity? (different organisms living in it)

• Because it has lots of small organisms that don't eat the others

• Because the temperature here doesn't change much so fish can adapt easily

• Because it is so dark that most organisms can't be seen

• Because photosynthesis can happen here so it is full of phytoplankton and food to eat

The term pelagic means

• bottom

• floating

• water

• swimming
