Organize these options into the right categories

Groups:

(a) Euphotic Zone

,

(b) Dysphotic Zone

,

(c) Aphotic Zone

• from 200m-1000m

• this zone is the largest single habitat on the planet

• Also known as the twilight zone

• includes all the water from the continental shelf to sea floor

• from surface to about 200m down

• known as sunlight zone

• bioluminescence starts to appear here

• animals in this zone transports huge amounts of carbon from surface to deep

• high pressure in this zone (400 atmn)

• consists of the deep ocean zones

• Known as the midnight zone

• makes up 2-3% of the entire ocean

• photosynthesis occurs in this zone
