Marine Life Zones BING (No O!) - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. The mesopelagic zone: The ocean twilight zone is a layer of water that stretches around the globe. It lies 200 to 1,000 meters (about 650 to 3,300 feet) below the ocean surface, just beyond the reach of sunlight.
    twilight zone
  2. bottom of an aquatic ecosystem; consists of sand and sediment and supports its own community of organisms
    benthic zone
  3. An area that is usually wet but is exposed during the lowest low tides. Examples: Sea stars, snails, seaweed, algae, crabs.
    low tide zone
  4. An area of the ocean that is close to the shore and extends out to the edge of the continental shelf. The intertidal zone of a beach is also part of the littoral zone.
    ocean littoral zone
  5. dark layer of the oceans below the photic zone where sunlight does not penetrate
    aphotic zone
  6. The pelagic layer of the ocean where light can penetrate, yet without the intensity to support photosynthesis
    mesopelagic zone
  7. Area of an ocean that extends from the low-tide line out to the edge of the continental shelf
    neritic zone
  8. Area alternately covered by all high tides and exposed during all low tides. Examples: anemones, barnacles, sea stars, sponges.
    middle tide zone
  9. The bathypelagic zone: a layer of water begins 3000 feet extends down ocean floor makes 3/4 of ocean with dim light high pressure cold temps no plant life
    midnight zone
  10. Free!
  11. Area covered by each high tide. Examples: crab, limpets, chitons, tegula snail.
    high tide zone
  12. The epipelagic zone: the top layer of the ocean where there is a lot of sunlight, the water is the warmest in this layer and more than 90% of all marine life lives here.
    sunlight zone
  13. The pelagic environment from a depth of 1000 m to 4000 m. No sunlight at all.
    bathypelagic zone
  14. The "Abyss." No light and near-freezing temperatures. 4,000m-6,000m.
    abyssopelagic zone
  15. Deep pelagic trenches; this zone is found from a depth of around 6,000 meters (20,000 ft) to the bottom of the ocean
    hadalpelagic zone
  16. Benthic realm past the continental shelf
    Deep Sea System
  17. Portion of the shoreline that lies between the high and low tide lines
    intertidal zone
  18. open water above the ocean floor
    pelagic zone
  19. The lower part of the photic zone, where there is insufficient light for photosynthesis.
    disphotic zone
  20. Portion of the marine biome that is shallow enough for sunlight to penetrate.
    photic zone
  21. The uppermost part of the pelagic zone (above the mesopelagic zone); receives enough sunlight to allow photosynthesis; from the surface to 200 meters.
    epipelagic zone
  22. The abyssopelagic zone: The portion of the ocean floor where light does not penetrate and where temperatures are cold and pressures intense.
