ANS: D
The neritic zone is a subsection of pelagic zones. Pelagic zones are those in open water. Information
can be found in the section The Marine Environment is Classified in Distinctive Zones.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Coral reefs are extremely important in primary production, especially in the ocean. They can have a
net primary productivity of 2,200 grams of carbon per square meter of surface ocean in a year. Primary
productivity is the synthesis of organic materials from inorganic substances using photosynthesis or
chemosynthesis. Information can be found in the section Primary Productivity Is the Synthesis of
Organic Materials.
