I believe the answer is B.
Habitat: Coyotes are able to easily adapt to different habitats. They can be found living anywhere from the Sonoran Desert to large, populated cities.
Food: Coyotes will eat nearly anything. They hunt rabbits, rodents, frogs, fish, and even deer. they also eat insects, snakes, fruit, and grass.
Reproductive Process: Reproduction<span> in the </span>coyote<span> is a very intricate </span>process<span>, as females are completely infertile for ten months out of the year, and males are sterile for eight. The </span>process<span> begins with several males vying for the attention of a single female.</span> In spring, females den and give birth to litters of three to twelve pups. Both parents feed and protect their young and their territory.
Human and Environmental Challenges: Coyotes face many challenges. They are often hunted by other larger animals. Humans also hunt them when they are interfering with their crops or livestock.
Migration pattern: <span>According to a study, coyotes migrated eastward via two main route: one that went through the northern United States, and one that went through the south. Oddly enough, the Northern and Southern coyotes seemed to meet midway</span>
<u>Answer:</u>
- few nutrients
- high pressure
- low temperatures
<u>Explanation:</u>
1. Few nutrients: open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.
2. High pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.
3. Ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface.
4. Varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.
5. Low temperatures: the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°C to an average of 17°C.
The difference between the two students that we know of is that they used a different meter stick. So the difference would be best attributed to the different tools they used.
Note, this is quite a huge difference. It's likely that one of the sticks, or both, are quite defect.
