Answer: Intertidal zones are regions which lie above the water level which receives low tides. Estuaries are the closed bodies of coastal waters which contain brackish water.
Explanation:
The ways through which the intertidal zones and estuaries can be protected are as follows:
1. The chemical discharge from factories and sewage discharge must be restricted or prohibited in these areas so that the water and air quality remains good necessary for the survival of living beings.
2. Prohibiting the waterways to prevent the discharge of oils which can contaminate water of estuaries and soil of intertidal zones.
3. The trash of polythene bags, plastic materials, vegetable matter discharged from the city must be cleaned up to retain the quality of soil and water.
Inheritance is the process by which traits are passed from the parents to their offspring. The basic unit of inheritance in human is the DNA. For traits to be passed from the parent to the offspring, the DNA in the cell must be duplicated and this happens through the process of cellular reproduction.
Answer:
B. The equator is susceptible to extreme storms so the thermocline changes significantly throughout the year.
Explanation:
Storms occurs on that locations where there is high temperature and high temperature is only present at the equator due to direct sunlight. So we can say that maximum storms comes at and near the regions of equator. The oceans present near the equator have a warm layer known as thermocline from where water is evaporated and the intensity of storms are also increases.
