Detailed explanation-1: -The photic zone extends from the topmost surface to a depth of 200 meters. This is the only zone where the marine biome can perform photosynthesis as the sunlight can only penetrate a depth of up to 200 meters and therefore being named aphotic zone.
Detailed explanation-2: -The photic zone extends to a maximum depth of 200 meters (656 feet) below the surface of the water. Enough sunlight penetrates the photic zone for photosynthesis to occur, allowing for large amounts of biomass and biodiversity. Algae and other photosynthetic organisms can make food and support food webs.
Detailed explanation-3: -the photic zones are the upper region of the water mass that receives the maximum heat from the sun and the aphotic zone is the zone of deeper waters which is protected from the sun’s heatwave.
