Question
Chapter 39, Problem 10WIO
Summary Introduction
To construct:
The map depicting the relationships among the zones of the ocean and also discuss the main energy source in each zone.
Concept introduction:
The standing water contains the fresh water. The standing water is characterized by consisting of the stagnant water (water which is not flowing). The example of standing water in lakes and ponds. The lake is divided into four zones photic zone, littoral zone, limnetic zone, profundal zone and benthic zone.
