Question

a deep area of water that never receives sunlight is considered what zone? 1 point pelagic zone littoral zone photic zone aphotic zone benthic zone twilight zone what term do we use to refer to the lowest region within a body of water? 1 point pelagic zone twilight zone benthic zone littoral zone photic zone aphotic zone

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• The pelagic zone is the open - water area of the ocean.
• The littoral zone is the near - shore area.
• The photic zone is the part of the water that receives sunlight.
• The aphotic zone is the deep area of water that never receives sunlight.
• The benthic zone is the bottom of the water body.
• The twilight zone (also known as the disphotic zone) has some light penetration but not enough for photosynthesis.
• For the second question:
• The pelagic zone is the open - water column.
• The twilight zone is a part of the water column with limited light.
• The benthic zone is the lowest region within a body of water (the bottom).
• The littoral zone is the near - shore area.
• The photic zone is the sunlit part of the water column.
• The aphotic zone is the deep, non - sunlit part of the water column (but not necessarily the lowest in terms of position, just in terms of light).

Answer:

• First question: Aphotic zone
• Second question: Benthic zone
