Answer:

The correct option is <em>C)  investigate the various biotic and abiotic factors that are unique to high altitude.</em>

Explanation:

The survival of the certain species of pine trees only at elevations shows that there will definitely be a biotic or abiotic factor that enhances the growth of the pines at that place. It might be due to abiotic factors like the temperature or soil at high altitude or due to some biotic factor like a mutualistic relationship with organisms at high altitudes. Hence, option C is the correct option.

Answer:

The 2 ways abiotic factors affect biotic factors are as follows:

  1. An alligator submerges itself under water to stay cool in the summer.
  2. A naked mole rat creates burrows underground.

Explanation:

Abiotic Factors:

All non-living factors that is present or influences an ecosystem. Abiotic factors determine the dynamics of an ecosystem such as the terrain, the atmosphere as well as the inhabitant flora and fauna. Water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, and soil are all abiotic factors.

Biotic Factors:

All living factors in an ecosystem i.e. the plants and animals.

Lets analyze all the options:

  • A bird picking food out of an alligator's teeth is an interaction between 2 biotic factors, the bird and the alligator or in another case, the bird and the food.
  • Water being oxygenated is an interaction between 2 abiotic factors: water and oxygen.

Humans’ use of rocks and minerals as building materials is an example of which interaction? an interaction within the geosphere
Shalnov [3]

The correct answer is: an interaction between the biosphere and the geosphere.

The geosphere represents all of the rocks, minerals and ground that are found on and in Earth. It includes the ocean floor, all of the rocks on the surface, and all of the sand in the deserts.

Biosphere on the other hand is composed of all the living organisms on Earth (including human).
