Answer:

Deep scattering layer, DSL

Explanation:

The deep scattering layer (DSL) also known as "<em>deep sound layer</em>", refers to an oceanic deep layer, more or less defined, that reflects sound and that is formed by a wide variety of animals. It is present in almost every ocean. It is produced by the presence of many organisms of different species that can disperse the sonar waves sent by a sonar equipment.

It was discovered through the ships´ sonar. Whenever they met a layer in which the sound hit, and was often confused with the bottom of the ocean. This is why the DSL is refered to as the "fake bottom".

These animals form layers of not less than 10 meters thick and might easily reach up to 50 meters thick. These layers are often found between 50 and 200 meters deep and can be seen going up and down every day according to the daily vertical migration.

timurjin [86]

The correct answer is: b. it doesn’t often reflect reality.

While experimental research has several advantages, including: investigating the effect of one variable on another, and the ability to control and eliminate confounding variables, it also has one major disadvantage. This disadvantage is known as: <em>lack of ecological validity</em>.

Lack of ecological validity means that the findings of research study might not be generalizable to real-life settings, and might only apply to laboratory settings. To avoid the problem of ecological validity, and to increase the validity of an experimental research study, a study should be conducted in natural settings when possible.
