Tides, Depths & Reefs
Ten questions on the ocean and its inhabitants, each linking the creature to the conditions it lives in.
About this topic
The ocean is a set of extreme environments arranged by depth, and its inhabitants make far more sense once that is clear. This quiz covers the basins, the forces producing tides and currents, and the animals from the surface down to the deepest trench. It includes reefs, which occupy a tiny fraction of the seabed and support a quarter of marine species. The explanations tie each adaptation to the pressure, light or temperature it answers.
