Question

1 multiple choice 2 points
what is the limnetic zone?
the well-lit open-water region away from the shore
the deep, dark layer with no sunlight
the nutrient-rich bottom of a lake
a landform created by flooding

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we recall the definition of the limnetic zone. The limnetic zone is the well - lit, open - water area of a lake or pond that is away from the shore (littoral zone). The "deep, dark layer with no sunlight" describes the profundal zone. The "nutrient - rich bottom of a lake" is the benthic zone. And a landform created by flooding has nothing to do with the limnetic zone.

Answer:

A. The well - lit open - water region away from the shore
