Question

Pick up the incorrect match from the following.

• A. Neritic zone- shallow water zone on continental shelf
• B. Ocean region- region of the open sea beyond the continental shelf
• C. Bathyal zone- region of continental slope and rise
• D. Abyssal region- light compensation

Answer 1

The correct option is D Abyssal region- light compensation

The deepest part of the ocean is called as the abyssal zone. It is host to many species of invertebrates and fish including such oddities as the coelacanth, a prehistoric fish once thought extinct and found in the depths of the Indian ocean and other fish that glow in the dark via a process called as photoluminescence. The abyssal zone is very cold, and highly pressurized.
