Answer: e. The photic zone is where most primary production occurs.

Explanation:

The photic zone can be define as the sunlight or photosynthetic zone. It is the uppermost layer of the water body like lake, ocean, pond or others. This zone receives the maximum sunlight in the entire water body. Thus this facilitates the growth of large number of plants and other autotrophs like diatoms. This is called as the zone of primary productivity because in water the sunlight and dissolved atmospheric carbon dioxide are available for conducting the process of photosynthesis.

Answer:

The photic zone is where most primary production occurs

Explanation:

  • A  photic zone is a zone where net primary productivity occurs as a result of being the top and uppermost layer of the water surface these zones have an oxygen-rich environment for the thriving populations fish and large.
  • It Also varies with seasons and thickness changes from time to time it is the home to 90% of the marine life and also is called the disphotic zone it coincides with the epipelagic zone.
  • Transparency of water is an important property of this zone.

In general, which two factors determine the overall temperature of Earth’s atmosphere?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The two factors are-

(1) amount of incoming solar radiations

(2) amount of outgoing radiation

Explanation:

The temperature of the earth's atmosphere is directly related to the amount of solar radiation present in the atmosphere. These radiations are the harmful ultraviolet radiation emitted from the sun.

According to the earth's heat budget, out of the total amount of solar radiation, 30% of it is directly reflected back into space, and the remaining 70% is absorbed.  

Again from this 70% of radiations, about 23% is absorbed in the atmosphere and the remaining 47% is absorbed by the earth's surface.

When the amount of radiation absorbed is more than the radiation reflected than in that case, the temperature of the earth's atmosphere increases. And when the amount of radiation reflected is more than the radiation absorbed, then, in that case, the temperature of the earth's surface decreases.

Thus, the amount of incoming and outgoing radiations must be maintained for the existence of a moderate type of earth's atmospheric temperature.
