Why do orcas like cold water?

Geography
1 answer:
malfutka [58]2 years ago
3 0

Orcas prefer cold water because it allows them to travel more swiftly than their ectothermic prey, which can slow down in colder water.

Although they may be located in warmer seas near the equator as opposed to arctic waters, these species appear to favor colder temperatures. Along with living in waters deep in the open ocean, orcas may also venture into semi-enclosed oceans, river mouths, and ice-covered regions.

Marine animals with warm blood, such as whales, can withstand frigid water temperatures. When whales descend to chilly depths and travel to frigid waters, such as those in Alaska, fat serves as an insulating layer to help them preserve energy and warmth.

How can we describe the san andreas fault system
lubasha [3.4K]
The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1300 km in California. It forms tectonic boundary between Pacific plate and North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip. It is divided into three segments, and each of this segments has different characteristics and different degree of earthquake risk. The most significant segment is the southern one, which passes within about 35 miles of Los Angeles. This fault was first identified by professor Andrew Lawson from the UC Berkley in 1895.
