Which Aquatic Habitat Contains a Pelagic Zone

Question

Which aquatic habitat contains a pelagic zone?
A) estuary
B) lake
C) salt marsh
D) open ocean

Accepted Answer

The pelagic zone is the open water area of the ocean and includes all the water above the ocean floor, which would be found in the open ocean. Estuaries are partially enclosed bodies of water where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with saltwater from the ocean. Lakes are freshwater bodies, and salt marshes are coastal wetlands that are flooded and drained by tidal waters.
