<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.

Write a short story describing the application of the system of classification of living creatures
Citrus2011 [14]
All living creatures are classified into systems and sub-systems based on their similar characteristics. They are divided from bigger groups into smaller groups based on the detail of their similarities i.e. how they look, move, reproduce and how they relate to each other. A practical way of understanding the classification of living organisms is that organisms are linked to other similar organisms via family trees. The classification of all living creatures includes at least four levels: order, families, genus and species.

Most deer mouse populations inhabit regions with dark soils. These deer mice have dark brown fur. Populations of deer mice found
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Tan fur helps the mice protect themselves from predators

Explanation:

The entrenchment of this phenotype in the population is powered by natural selection pressures. The mice with fur color that enable them to camouflage with their environment are predated less than mice with other fur colors. These tan mice are therefore more likely to survive and pass their genes to the next generation. Through successive generations, the allelic frequency for the tan fur color increases until it is the dominant allele in the population.

The triangular-shaped body of water that forms where a streams enters a larger body of water is a/an
GrogVix [38]


The best answer is B

Deltas are wet lands that form as rivers empty their water and sediments into another body of water such as an ocean, lake,  or another river. Deltas can also empty into land although this is less common.

A river moves more slowly as it nears its end. This causes sediment, solid material that has been carried downstream by the water  to fall to the river bottom.

The slowing of the river and the build up of sediment allows the river to break up from its single channel to several channels  forming a triangular flow at the mouth called a delta.
