<span>The upper intertidal zone is the part of the shore that is covered by water only at high tide. The sublittoral zone is the shallow part of the ocean extending out to the edge of the continental shelf, that is, the part where sunlight penetrates all the way to the sea floor. Of the two, the upper intertidal zone features a greater diversity of species, perhaps because its sometimes harsh and changeable environment presents a greater variety of niches and requires a greater variety of adaptation in order to ensure survival.</span>

The correct option is this: THERE IS MORE BIODIVERSITY IN THE SUBLITTORIAL ZONE COMPARE TO THE UPPER INTERTIDAL ZONE BECAUSE THERE IS LESS TEMPERATURE VARIATION IN THIS REGION.
The sublittorial zone refers to the part of the ocean that is about 200 meters away from the surface. The zone is characterized by constant temperature as a result of the constant sunlight that reaches the depth; this leads to more biodiversity in this zone.

In landscapes dominated by low-infiltration capacity, what is the first step in erosion?
Oksana_A [137]
Low infiltration capacity means that the soil cannot absorb much water per volume. The first step in erosion in a landscape dominated by low-infiltration capacity is the raindrop splash. This is where raindrops displace the soil from their original place because the soil cannot absorb adequate amounts of water.

Regulation slowly happens but produces long-lasting effects, whereas _____ regulation quickly takes place with short-term effect
vazorg [7]

Endocrine system regulation slowly happens but produces long-lasting effects, whereas nervous system regulation quickly takes place with short-term effects.

Endocrine system can regulate many things in the body that control the metabolism. The effect shouldn't be instant, but it should be good for long term effect. Nervous system need a much faster reaction because it responsible for "fight or flight" reaction. A slow nervous system will cause the organism caught by predator easier.
