Answer:

0 to 200 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The ocean is divided into 5 distinct layers, which are known as zones.

The surface zone is also known as the epipelagic zone and it has an extension from 0 to 200.

It is also known as the sunlight zone, because being the first layer is the most illuminated by the sun. The pressure in this layer is minimal compared to deeper layers and most of the ocean life and human activity in the oceans occurs in this zone.

The next layers are the twilight zone, the midnight zone, the abyss and the trenches.
