What are the different ocean layers?

The open ocean, significantly distant from continental shelves, is known together as the pelagic zone of the ocean. The name is derived from the Greek Pélagos , which means an "open ocean". The pelagic zone is divided into five sub-zones of growing depth: epipelagic zone, mestepelagic zone, Bathypelagic zone, Protegic zone A-volume only for deep sea trenches-Hadeoplegic zone.

Epipelagic zone ranges from the surface to 200 meters (656 ft) and is the brightest of the zones (and one of the only two with many lights). This is where most of the well -known creatures of the sea hang out, as most of the fish we eat, and the coral cliffs that will surprise our ships in surprise. This area is rich in photosynthetic microorganisms that consume larger organisms to the food chain of creation such as sharks. The name "epipelagic" roughly means "the upper zone of the ocean".

The Mesoplagic zone (from 200 m down is approximately 1,000 m or 3,280 feet) is a dusk zone. Name roughly means “refurbthe ocean. "Biododenstity is less than the epipelagic zone above, because light penetration decreases rapidly in the lower areas of this zone. In summary, the epipelagic and upper part of the Mesoplagic zones are known as Photic Zone, which means light.

Bathhypelagic zone extends from 1,000 m underwater to approximately 4,000 m (13 123 feet) under water. Very small light reaches this depth and therefore you will not find any living plants. The deep sea animals that live here are adapted to the consumption of snow organic detritus, which is constantly falling from above. The giant and colossal octopus can be found here, as well as sperm whales.

The deepest zones are Abyssoplagic and Hadeoplagic, which means "Ocean" and "Hell's Ocean". To get no light and the area is located deeper than 4,000m underwater. There are feeding down there, but of them, however, because only the most difficult robots with deep diving can.
