        Version history 
        
         - v1. Based on  de:Bild:Pelagial Tiefenzonierung.png by  de:Benutzer:TomCatX (the "above the waves" image is copied directly from TomCatX's image).
- v2. The first version used a linear gradient, which didn't look correct (the epi was to dark, and the bathy too light). This new version uses a nonlinear gradient (where the brightness falls off logarithmically) which is much closer to reality. I also improved the waves on the ocean surface.

        I'll retain the original  Inkscape diagram, so if anyone wants a version in another language I can make the change for you - just ask.
