Although we think of land when we hear the word biome, there are also aquatic biomes. The abiotic factors that influence life forms vary with location in the ocean. Oceanographers divide the ocean into five broad vertical zones as seen in the chart. Compare the abiotic characteristics of the five ocean zones. Which of these conclusions about life forms found in the zones is supported by the information in the chart?

A) Because of the severe abiotic conditions, there are no life forms found in the hadalpelagic zone.

B) The epipelagic zone is the only zone of the five zones where visible light and algae can be found.

C) The mesopelagic zone hosts a diverse zooplankton community instead of a phytoplankton or algae community and virtually no fish species.

D) Because there is no light in the abyssal zone, organisms feed on each other or the dead organic material, detritus, that falls into the abyssal zone from above.
