The Bathypelagic Zone *1000m-4000m *Located on the Continental Slope *Temperature is close to freezing *No visible sunlight *Mainly invertebrates *Vampire squid, Amphipod, Anglerfish, Oarfish, Giant squid, Sperm whales *No light for plants to grow
The Mesopelagic Zone *200m-1000m *Located on the Continental Shelf *Faint light exists here *Many bioluminescent creatures *Octopi, Squid, Hatchet fish *Not enough light for plants to grow
The Epipelagic Zone * Surface-200m *Located on Continental Shelf *Most visible light exists here *Wide temperature range *Sharks, Jellyfish, Sea turtles, Stingrays, Seals *Angiosperms, Red, Green, and Brown algae, Seaweed, Seagrasses
The Sublittoral Zone *Transition between Littoral and Epipelagic Zones *Strong sunlight *Low pressure *Very similar to littoral zone *Periwinkles, Kelp fish, Chitons, Sea Urchins, Sponges *
The Littoral Zone *Closest to Shoreline *Affected by tides *Low pressure levels *Lots of animal life *Crabs, Barnacles, Starfish, Anemones *
Ocean Layers
The Hadopelagic Zone *Located in Ocean Trenches such as the Mariana Trench *6000m-Bottom *Water barely above freezing *Pressure is 8 tons per square inch! *No light at all *Invertebrates such as starfish and tube worms can still thrive *Plants have absolutely no chance
The Abyssopelagic Zone *4000-6000m *Located on the Continental Rise *Crushing pressure levels *3/4 ocean floor lies within *Temperature is near freezing *Sand dollars, Brittle stars, Acorn worms, Lantern fish *No light for plants to grow
