Water: Zones of the Ocean

The video explores different ocean zones, including the intertidal, neritic, and open ocean. It discusses how factors like sunlight, temperature, and water pressure influence where marine organisms live. The intertidal zone is dynamic, requiring organisms to adapt to changing conditions. The neritic zone is rich in nutrients and marine life, while the open ocean is deep, dark, and less biologically productive, yet home to diverse organisms.
