Photic Zone

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find your keys in a dimly lit room. Just like how the light in the room helps you see and locate your keys, sunlight penetrating the upper layers of the ocean—known as the photic zone—enables marine life to thrive through photosynthesis. In this analogy, the room represents the ocean, the light represents sunlight, and the keys symbolize marine organisms that rely on the light to survive and grow.
