Summary:
In this unit we were tasked with learning the ocean zones and the circulation of the planet. We learned that there are 5 zones in the ocean that consist of; Photic zone at the top, the Aphotic zone, the bathypelagic zone, abyssopelagic zone and the hadal zone. We learned that most creatures can not live in the lower zones because of the pressure and temperature. We also learn that no light makes it into the abyssopelagic zone so it is completely dark down there
In the circulation part we learned how we have different zones and how they work together. The hot air in some zones and the cold air in the neighboring zones push against each other and keep the zones moving like gears in a car would work.
