Question

20. In an ocean, the zone showing the maximum variability
light, salinity and moisture is
(1) littoral zone
(2) pelagic zone
(3) benthic zone
(4) neritic zone​

Answer 1

Answer:

littoral zone is the correct answer.

Answer 2

The correct answer is OPTION 4: Neritic zone.

• The neritic zone is also known as the coastal waters since it is made up of shallow seas near the coast.
• The neritic zone extends from the water's surface to about 200 feet below it, where the continental shelf, or seafloor, is found.
• As the seafloor expands away from the shore, the continental shelf eventually drops off, creating much deeper waters and leading to the open ocean.
• The neritic zone appears only before the continental shelf collapses.
• The neritic zone receives a great deal of light.
• Water temperatures are also quite stable, albeit they fluctuate based on where the zone is located across the planet.
• This portion of the ocean's salinity, or amount of salt, is also consistent, which helps to support the numerous marine organisms that live there.
