Explanation:

There two important zones of the  ocean that can be termed as Benthic Zone which lies at bottom of ocean or sea and Pelagic Zone that could be imagined as a cylinder or water column that goes from the surface of the sea or ocean to its bottom. At the very bottom of the sea there lies an ecological region termed as Benthic Zone.The pelagic zone can also be termed as the open-ocean zone and it is in contrast with water that is nearer to the coast or continental shelf.

There are different zones that lies within a Pelagic Zone. They are

Oceanic, Neritic, Photic, Aphotic. The zone that lies beyond the continental shelf comes under this oceanic zone and Photic and Aphotic as the name suggests it refers to light. It referes to the zones where sunlight can penetrate and can not penetrate respectively.
