Create a diagram of the ocean zones and
determine what organisms live in each zone. Students
will draw the appropriate scale to demark meters (and
conversion to feet) from 0-6000m and draw the zones
that correspond to the geological structures of the
ocean basin.
Objectives:Students will be able to:
- Measure and draw a scale in meters of ocean depths
2.Identify ocean zones and geological structures in an
ocean basin
PROCEDURE - Measure and label the meter scale on either side of
the diagram from 0 m at the ocean surface down to
6,000 meters and the geological structures of the
ocean basin (continental shelf, slope, rise and abyssal
plain). - work at the top of the diagram, drawing the surface
of the ocean and structures found at the surface (lie, a
ship, a sailboat). - work on the bottom of the diagram, drawing a
seamount, trench, hydrothermal vents Labels and
features to include on diagram: Photic (sunlit) zone
Aphotic (no light) zone, Neritic system Benthic zone,
