Answer:

The Epipelagic zone has the warmest water and the highest rate of gas exchange with the atmosphere, which increases biodiversity.

Explanation:

  • The epipelagic zone is the surface layer of the ocean which extends to up to 200 meters and it is the layer that is exposed to the atmosphere and hence, the exchange of gases takes place in this layer.
  • Most of the visible light is available to the organisms living in this layer and thus, the water in this zone is the warmest as compared to the other zones in the ocean.
  • The availability of warm temperatures, sunlight, and exchange of gases with the atmosphere makes it possible for may organisms to thrive in this layer and hence, the greatest biodiversity is supported by this zone in the ocean.

Because the Epipelagic Zone receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. Since those tiny organisms who live there are photosynthetic ones they make up the base of the food chain and therefore are called primary producers. if they ceased to exist we would face several problems from loss of breathable air to food shortage.



Hope that helps :)

Anytime you speculate about a problem and think of an answer based on what you
Natalija [7]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

A scientific theory must have strong support from testable facts that are confirmed (or rejected) by observational and/or experimental procedures. The scientific method is a rigorous process that consists of arising a conjecture (hypothesis) which can be subsequently used to make predictions from its logical consequences, and finally to obtain information from empirical observations/experiments in order to obtain a conclusion about the veracity of the scientific claims (i.e., a hypothesis must be testable). In consequence, a scientific theory can not be based only on 'light' conjectures, but trustworthy observational data from the real world.
