Explanation:
Answer:
d. Temperate regions have weak thermoclines (moderate in summer, less in winter)
Explanation:
The theromoclines and how strong they are are crucial for the movement and exchange of nutrients between the surface waters and the deeper waters. The nutrients are mostly found in the deeper and colder waters, so they only reach the surface and shallower waters when the thermoclines are weaker. With the movement of the nutrients toward the surface waters, they provide nutrition for the marine organisms, resulting in much larger populations and much more species to be present. The temperate regions are the ones where the theromoclines start to become weaker because the waters become cooler, especially in the winter when the temperatures are much lower and the waters become colder as well.
Answer:
Plants and animals adapt to sunlight, water and climatic changes.
Explanation:
- Adaptation in plants and animals is common like humans which enables them to survive in hostile environments.
- The adaptation is a major genetic and physiological adaptation of species and allows them to modify their behavior in aspect or respect to the changes in the external environment such as climate etc.
- Such as the white-coated rabbit, ox, and fox during the winter months. The adaptation of plants such as growing close to the ground antarctic region to capture the maximum solar heat.
- The shedding of the leaves with changing seasons and the ability to adapt to shades of the forest floor are some of the characteristics properties of the plants and animals.
