Why is the neritic zone rich in nutrients?

Biology

egoroff_w [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The water here is shallow, so there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis. The water is also rich in nutrients, which are washed into the water from the nearby land. Because of these favorable conditions, large populations of phytoplankton live in neritic biomes.

What effect did pollution have in the population in the Chesapeake Bay estuary

The correct answers are B and C. The tsunami waves were as high as 500 feet, and it was triggered by a 9.1 magnitude earthquake.

Explanation:

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was a series of tsunamis that swept the shores of most countries along the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004, killing almost 280,000 people. This is considered one of the biggest natural disasters in history. The tsunami was caused by a huge 9.1 magnitude earthquake that shook the underwater off the west coast of Sumatra. This was the third largest earthquake measured by a seismometer. The ensuing tsunamis reached a height of 30 meters in some places when they made landfall. It has been confirmed that 131,028 people have died in Indonesia. More than 30,000 died in Sri Lanka and thousands died in India and Thailand. In Somalia, 4,500 km from the epicenter, 176 people were killed and about 50,000 people lost their homes. $ 14 billion in emergency aid was collected for the worst-affected countries.
