Marine Zonation

Somerather helpful diagrams from http://www.eoearth.org/article/Bathypelagic_zone detailing the definitions of different marine zones. What was the definition of the bathyal zone again? Oh yes the benthic zone at 700-1000m with an average temperature of 4-10 degrees.

Very Helpful!
