Which environmental factor controls the amount sunlight that reaches underwater plants and animals? controls the amount sunlight
beks73 [17]

Answer:the environmental factor that influences the amount of sunlight that reaches the underwater plants and animals are abiotic factors. Aquatic biomes are influenced by a series of abiotic factors. However, these factors differ since water has different physical and chemical properties than does air. Even if the water in a pond or other body of water is perfectly clear (there are no suspended particles), water, on its own, absorbs light. As one descends into a deep body of water, there will eventually be a depth which the sunlight cannot reach. While there are some abiotic and biotic factors in a terrestrial ecosystem that might obscure light (such as fog, dust, or insect swarms), usually these are not permanent features of the environment.

Atmosphere the Earth has had. The atmosphere that we are now breathing is the 3rd 2nd only 5th
Basile [38]

Answer:

It's the 4th, as third is modified by the man.

Explanation:

  • The Third atmosphere was a rearrangement of the plate tectonics and the evolution of atmosphere by the transferring of it to the oceanic basins. As the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere used to be more than 30% around 280 million years ago than the present.
  • Rapid development of land plants and animals was caused due to this atmosphere and hence this atmosphere is now less than 21% and due to his influence or modification of man with his technological tools and techniques.
  • The atmosphere is rapidly shrinking due to the greenhouse effect and global warming that is leading to the fifth atmosphere that may be like that of mars as devoid of gases and barren and dry with oceans running under the crust.
