Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sperm whale in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is in the pelagic zone, which refers to the open oceanic water column, not associated with the seafloor or the coast. The intertidal zone is the area between the low and high tide mark. The benthic zone is the ocean floor, which can include the continental shelf, slope, and deep ocean trenches. The estuarine zone is where freshwater from rivers meets saltwater from the ocean, typically occurring where rivers flow into the sea.
