The upper ocean with sunlight

Real World Example

Imagine you're in a crowded parking garage, and you're trying to find a spot close to the entrance where there's plenty of light. Just as you want to park near the entrance to easily see and access your surroundings, marine life thrives in the photic zone of the ocean because it's the area where sunlight penetrates, allowing them to see and photosynthesize. In both situations, whether you're parking your car or marine organisms are living in the ocean, having access to light is crucial for visibility and energy, making the photic zone similar to the well-lit entrance areas of the parking garage.
