Abiotic
1. Depth- this, along with light, determines the zones.
2. Temperature- this affects the plants and animals that live in the Neritic Zone and goes hand in hand with depth and light.
3. Sunlight- this affects the plants and animals that live in the Neritic Zone and goes along with depth. The sun is the main energy source of this zone.
4. Pressure- the Neritic Zone does not have much pressure because it is relatively near the land and does not extend to great depths.
5. Pollution-trash and wastes kill plants and animals in the Neritic Zone.
6. Floor-consists of sand, coral, and clay.
