Ocean Layers Worksheet
Read the ocean profile
The upper zone (0–200 metres) receives enough sunlight for tiny plant-like plankton to photosynthesise. In the dim-light zone (200–1,000 metres), only faint light reaches. Below it, the dark zone (1,000–4,000 metres), Abyss (4,000–6,000 metres) and Trenches (deeper than 6,000 metres) receive no sunlight. Water generally gets colder and pressure increases with depth. Ocean zones are named by depth and light, not by the animals that happen to be there.
