Answer:
Biotic: <em>Food availability</em>
Abiotic: <em>Temperature</em>
Explanation:
There are two types of limiting factors for biodiversity: biotic and abiotic. Biotic refers to living things, for example, organisms that are an important food source. <u>Most animal life forms in the ocean highly depend on the availability of a food source</u>. If food is limited or scarce, the populations of a given species could face significant declines.
On the other hand, there are abiotic factors, which refer to factors that are not alive, such as physical factors. For instance, temperature and light. <u>For marine organisms, temperature is a critical factor.</u> Even an increase of 'only' 1 ºC could make a huge difference in the survival of a species as it could disrupt their ability to forage, hunt, or perform physiological processes, <em>e.g.</em> metabolism.
Therefore, <u>if we refer to a biotic factor, food availability is a limiting factor for most animal life in the open ocean, whereas, if the refer to an abiotic factor, temperature (and light) are limiting factors for pelagic life.</u>
Answer:
The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)region gets the most direct sunlight at any given period in time. This in turn causes air to be unstable with a drop in pressure and rise of air which cools and condenses into clouds to form precipitation causing the wet season in the tropics.
In this region, the sun is directly or almost overhead as seen during summer periods in the tropics.
Only in areas of the North and South of the ITCZ known as doldrums which at times are parallel to the ITCZ do we have high pressure that aren't conducive to precipitation causing dry season in the tropics.
In the ITCZ zone, we also have the tropical rain forests along the equator with huge amount of all round rain for the year.
Along the equator, on either side of the rain forests we have the dry and wet forests with the savannah to the North of this region and the southern hemisphere to the south of these forests since these forests are seen mostly in the ITCZ than the savannahs.
Rain shadows and ocean cueeebts may at times cause some savannahs to be along the equator and some rain forests -wet and dry forests- to be positioned further form the equator.
Answer:
1. ridges and trenches (either answer is acceptable)
2. mid-atlanitc
3. subduction zone
4. molten
5. oceanic trenches
Explain:
6. Rocks in the ocean eventually get subducted back into earths mantle due to slab pull. New rocks form at mid-ocean ridges as ridge forces two plates to diverge.
Carrying capacity is the amount that a vehicle can carry or the amount that it is capable of carrying.
Answer:
A. distress is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Marissa suffers from panic disorder, where she experiences unpredictable, unbearable episodes of panic that closely resemble the symptoms of a heart attack.(This description of her disorder represent distress)
Panic disorder is a stress disorder described by reoccurring sudden panic attacks.
Distress is a situation of severe stress or tension, usually caused by different factors such as failure in the exam, teasing, personal problems, loss of a job, etc.
Distress due to panic or anxiety affects a person's chance of undergoing cardiovascular problems such as stroke, heart attack, and health problems.
Distress changes in the process of blood clots and increases the blood pressure level, weaken the heart muscle that increases the problem of heart attack.
