Step 3 - Slice the squash. Just take a sharp knife and cut of both ends (about 1/4 of an inch, or half the width of an average woman's little finger) Slice 1/2-inch thick slices. Prepare quickly, (if you leave it sit out cut up for more than a half hour, it will start to discolor).
The benthic zone begins at the edge of the sea at the intertidal zone, extends out along the continental shelf, and continues down the continental slope to the abyssal plain, thousands of meters below sea level.
The euphotic zone together with the disphotic zone coincides with the epipelagic zone. The bottommost zone, below the euphotic zone, is called the aphotic zone. Most deep ocean waters belong to this zone. The transparency of the water, which determines the depth of the photic zone, is measured simply with a Secchi disk.bout 90% of all marine life lives in the photic zone. A small amount of primary production is generated deep in the abyssal zone around the hydrothermal vents which exist along some mid-oceanic ridges. The zone which extends from the base of the euphotic zone to about 200 metres is sometimes called the disphotic zone.
