The oceanic division that is photic in nature is called ...................

  • A.Hadal pelagic
  • B.Abyssal pelagic
  • C.Bathy pelagic
  • D.Epipelagic

Answer: D

The photic division is the epipelagic zone.

The epipelagic zone extends from the surface to about 200 m. Enough sunlight reaches it for photosynthesis, so it is the sunlit (photic) zone where phytoplankton live.

Below it are the mesopelagic, the bathypelagic (about 1,000 to 4,000 m), the abyssopelagic (4,000 to 6,000 m) and the hadal zone of the deep trenches, all dark (aphotic).
