1.  Finish the worksheet on Intertidal Zone

2.  You will label the ocean floor.  6 points to label

3.  Part of the ocean that extends from the low- tide line out to the edge of the continental shelf.

4.  shallow water receives sunlight and a steady supply of nutrients washed from the land into the ocean.  Upwelling in the nertic zone bring nutrients from floor.

5.  Two habitats found in the neritic zone are coral reefs and kelp forests

6.  Coral reefs can form only in shallow, tropical ocean waters.  The reefs are formed by groups of tiny coral animals that produce a hard material around their soft bodies.

7.  Ring-shaped reef surrounding a shallow lagoon

8.  grow in cold neritic waters where the ocean has a rocky floor.

9.  only a small part of the open ocean receives sunlight.  the water has fewer nutrients

10.  = enough sunlight to support the growth of algae.  Microscopic algae are the base of food webs in the open ocean.

11.  Few life  The production of light by living things is called bioluminescence

12.  Area in which heated ocean water rises through cracks in the ocean floor  Chemical nutrients support unique organisms
