Biotic factors are anything in a ecosystem that is living, was living, or is going to live.
From this we can conclude that the biotic factors are remains of dead organisms and flora and fauna.
Temperature and minerals in the soil are abiotic, meaning they will never live.
Answer:
The physicist himself
Explanation:
Replication in an experiment means to repeat an experiment as many times as possible using the same conditions. This is done to minimize error and ascertain the reliability of the experimental outcome.
An experimenter is responsible for repeating his/her experiments. According to this question, a physicist performs an experiment. The physicist himself should replicate his experiment.
Solar eclipses occur more often than lunar eclipses because in a lunar eclipse, the moon has to be perfectly aligned with both the earth and the sun.
Solar eclipses occur about 2 to 4 times per year, but the area
on the ground covered by totality is only about 50 miles wide. In any
given location on Earth, a total eclipse happens only once every hundred
years or so, though for selected locations they can occur as little as a
few years apart.
Eclipses of the Moon by the Earth's shadow occur less often than solar eclipses, however, each lunar eclipse is visible
from over half the Earth. At any given location, you can have up to
three lunar eclipses per year, but some years there may be none.
In any
one calendar year, the maximum number of eclipses is four solar and
three lunar.
