Answer: There must have been a body of water there previously, maybe prehistorically.

Explanation: Gypsum forms when the right materials in a body of water come together and water evaporates quickly.

Gypsum is an evaporite, which means its crystals form during the evaporation of water. Gypsum forms whenever evaporation crystallizes the necessary minerals. In the case of "desert roses" gypsum crystals found around the world in arid sites, formation occurs with evaporation as the level of the water table changes. Gypsum can also be formed diagenetically by oxidation. This chemical reaction occurs when oxidation of existing sediments causes gypsum to form and replace other minerals in the sediments.

Huge gypsum deposits called beds were formed when ancient tropic seas became concentrated through evaporation. Gypsum crystals formed in the mineral saturated sea brine and sank to the ocean bed.

1. What is the limiting factor for most animal life in the open ocean?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Biotic: <em>Food availability</em>

Abiotic: <em>Temperature</em>

Explanation:

There are two types of limiting factors for biodiversity: biotic and abiotic. Biotic refers to living things, for example, organisms that are an important food source. <u>Most animal life forms in the ocean highly depend on the availability of a food source</u>. If food is limited or scarce, the populations of a given species could face significant declines.

On the other hand, there are abiotic factors, which refer to factors that are not alive, such as physical factors. For instance, temperature and light. <u>For marine organisms, temperature is a critical factor.</u> Even an increase of 'only' 1 ºC could make a huge difference in the survival of a species as it could disrupt their ability to forage, hunt, or perform physiological processes, <em>e.g.</em> metabolism.

Therefore, <u>if we refer to a biotic factor, food availability is a limiting factor for most animal life in the open ocean, whereas, if the refer to an abiotic factor, temperature (and light) are limiting factors for pelagic life.</u>
