Finish the worksheet on Intertidal Zone You will label the ocean floor. 6 points to label Part of the ocean that extends from the low- tide line out to the edge of the continental shelf. 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. Two habitats found in the neritic zone are coral reefs and kelp forests 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. Ring-shaped reef surrounding a shallow lagoon grow in cold neritic waters where the ocean has a rocky floor. only a small part of the open ocean receives sunlight. the water has fewer nutrients = enough sunlight to support the growth of algae. Microscopic algae are the base of food webs in the open ocean. Few life The production of light by living things is called bioluminescence Area in which heated ocean water rises through cracks in the ocean floor Chemical nutrients support unique organisms
