• A type of plankton that grows up to be an adult very different from it's planktonic form

• Animals that are much bigger than usual "plankton" like whales and dolphins, but are still photosynthetic like phytoplankton

What zone is at the ocean's surface

• bathypelagic

• hadolpelagic

• epipelagic

• mesopelagic

What is eutrophication?

• fish populations higher than normal

• Increased nutrients in the water

• decreasing oxygen levels in the water

• Increased carbon dioxide levels in the water

Nekton are...

• macroscopic

• microscopic

Benthos are...

• plants

• plankton

• animals that live on the bottom

• mostly vertebrates

benthic zone refers to the...

• surface

• middle

• bottom

What is marine snow (DOM)?

• Matter that has been broken down from plant material & decomposing organisms

• Pieces of ice that sink to the bottom and look like snow

• dandruff from whales

• microplastics that sink and can resemble a snow flurry

Which of the 3 major ocean zones is further divided into the following zones (epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, hadopelagic)
