Front 25

benthos

Back 25

all organisms that live on the bottom of the sea

Front 26

intertidal zone

Back 26

the shallowest benthic zone ends at,low tide limit it ends at the edge of the continental shelf it has to be avle to be 50% wet and 50% dry

Front 27

sublitoral zone

Back 27

begins were the intertital zone and ends at the low tide limit it ends at the edge of the of the continental shelf and is about 200m bellow sea level
organisims in the zone are always coverd by ocean water

Front 28

bathyal zone

Back 28

extends from the edge of the continental shelf to the abyssal plain depth ranges from 200m to 4,000m below sea level due to lack of sunlight plants are scarce and animals such as sponges ,sea stars and octopuses live here
