Question

section c: ocean life (multiple choice)

1. fish, dolphins, starfish, plankton, sharks, and sea turtles live in the surface zone — type:

multiple choice
a) surface zone
b) transition (thermocline) zone
c) deep zone

Explanation:

The question is about ocean life zones. The surface zone (epipelagic zone) is where sunlight penetrates, supporting photosynthesis and a diverse range of marine life like fish, dolphins, plankton, sharks, and sea turtles. The transition (thermocline) zone has temperature gradients and less light, and the deep zone is dark and has different adapted life. So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. Surface zone
