Question

1. (01.03 mc) in order to simulate epipelagic zone conditions in a model aquarium design, what light and temperature conditions would be required? (3 points)

• minimal amount of sunlight, warm temperature
• high amount of sunlight, warm temperature
• minimal amount of sunlight, cold temperature
• high amount of sunlight, cold temperature

Explanation:

The epipelagic zone (sunlit zone) has high sunlight and warm temperatures as it's near the surface. So to simulate it, we need high sunlight and warm temperature.

Answer:

High amount of sunlight, warm temperature (the third option, assuming the options are ordered as: 1. Minimal amount of sunlight, warm temperature; 2. High amount of sunlight, warm temperature; 3. Minimal amount of sunlight, cold temperature; 4. High amount of sunlight, cold temperature – correct option is the one with high sunlight and warm temp, e.g., if the third option in the list (second circle) is "High amount of sunlight, warm temperature", that's the answer.)
