Answer:

Gorgonopsia is an extinct clade of non-mammalian synapsids from the Permian period. Gorgonopsians were quadrupedal predators with prominent canine teeth, and the largest species were the apex predators of their ecosystems.[1] Like other non-mammalian synapsids, gorgonopsians were once described as "mammal-like reptiles", due to their mix of mammalian and reptilian traits. However, this description is no longer considered accurate as they are not reptiles.[2] Rather, as therapsids, they are closely related to mammals. Gorgonopsian fossils have been found in Russia and Africa.[3]

The sea surface temperatures and ocean climate zones of Western and Northern Europe are like those of the East Coast of the Unit

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Geographic proximity of the gulf stream.

Explanation:

The sea surface temperature of the oceanic climate and the zone of the western and northern Europe are same as that of the eastern coast of the united stated as these are located on the higher latitudes as the climate of the western Europe is similar to that of the subtropical and the semi-arid in the southern parts and that of the Mediterranean humid climate that is induced by the North Atlantic current.

<u>The northern parts are closer to the baltic plains and the mainland of the Greenlands as the entire region climate is mostly impacted by the gulf stream and that brings the cool and cold subarctic and arctic type of climate. And the presence of the boreal forests that are also found in the tundra region. </u>

While that of the eastern coasts of the U.S have a temperate type of climate and the warm summer, cold and snowy winters and mild winters in the southern parts.

Write a characteristic of the photic zone of a freshwater biome.

lana [24]

Characteristics of the photic zone in the freshwater biome are the warmer water, light, rich in freshwater organisms, shallow.

The photic zone is the first zone from the top of the freshwater body of water. It is the shallowest part of the body of water, and it is further divided into the littoral zone and limnetic zone. This zone is the closest to the shore. The sunlight manages to penetrate in it, so it is a zone where the majority of the producers are able to survive and thrive because they can perform the process of photosynthesis. Since this zone enables the producers to thrive, and the producers are the basis of any ecosystem, it enables the further existence, high diversification, and thriving of all the other living organisms in the freshwater biome. The photic zone is also characterized with warmer water because it is on the top, it is heated by sunlight, so that provides nice conditions for the living organisms to be the most abundant in this zone.
