Question
jorge is exploring the ocean. on which of these journeys is he most likely to pass from the photic zone into the aphotic zone?
a. a boat trip from the shore to the middle of the ocean
b. a boat trip from the middle of the ocean to the shore
c. a submarine dive from the surface into deep ocean water
d. a walk from the intertidal zone into shallow ocean water
The photic zone is the upper - layer of the ocean where there is enough light for photosynthesis, and the aphotic zone is the deeper part where little to no light penetrates. A submarine dive from the surface into deep ocean water would take Jorge from the light - filled photic zone to the dark aphotic zone. Boat trips from shore to middle or vice - versa and walking from the intertidal to shallow water do not involve a significant enough change in depth to transition between these zones.
