Introduction
▪The oceans are vast. They cover approximately two-thirds of the surface area of
our planet and extend much deeper than the height of the tallest mountain.
▪The parts of the ocean are as varied and diverse as those found on land.
▪Each ocean is subdivided into zones based on the water’s depth.
▪What are these ocean zones and how are they caracterized?
▪This presentation has as main objective to bring answers to this question.

▪These divisions help us better understand the

Different Types of Ocean Zones
▪There are four types of ocean zones:
➢Shoreline
➢Continental shelf
➢Continental slope
➢Abyss
