Question

comparing and contrasting the ocean zones
place each phrase beneath the ocean zone it describes.
life at geothermal vents
intertidal zone
neritic zone
open-ocean zone
above water at low tide
upwelling brings nutrients
large algae grow here
deepest zone
salinity & temperature vary

Explanation:

• Intertidal Zone: This zone is exposed to air at low tide (so "above water at low tide" and "salinity & temperature vary" as it's affected by both air and water changes).
• Neritic Zone: Upwelling brings nutrients here which support a lot of life including large algae growth (so "upwelling brings nutrients" and "large algae grow here").
• Open - Ocean Zone (specifically the deep parts): It's the deepest zone and has life at geothermal vents (so "life at geothermal vents" and "deepest zone").

Answer:

• Intertidal Zone: above water at low tide, salinity & temperature vary
• Neritic Zone: upwelling brings nutrients, large algae grow here
• Open - Ocean Zone: life at geothermal vents, deepest zone
