Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D 200 meters
Sunlight entering the water may travel about 1,000 meters into
the ocean under the right conditions, but there is rarely any significant light
beyond 200 meters.
The ocean is divided into three zones based on depth and
light level. The upper 200 meters of the ocean is called the euphotic, or sunlight
zone. This zone contains the vast majority of commercial fisheries and is home
to many protected marine mammals and sea turtles.
