The benthic zone of aquatic environments is defined as the _____.
  • temperature and rainfall.
  • As warm air rises, air at the top of the atmosphere is pushed poleward and cools.
  • Temperature and moisture.

Which aspects of a region's climate have the most impact on plants and animals?
  • Temperature and moisture.
  • Earth's Tilt on its axis.
  • Sahara Desert in Africa.
  • temperature and rainfall.
Aquatic biomes can be distinguished by chemical characteristics such as dissolved oxygen content and salinity and by physical characteristics such as water flow.
  • Water and temperature
  • Tropical rain forest. Two of the characteristics of a tropical rain forest are the presence of epiphytes and an extensive canopy that allows little light to penetrate to the ground.
  • Freshwater aquatic biomes include lakes, rivers, and wetlands with salinity less than 1%, whereas oceans are marine biomes, with an average salinity of 3.5%. The salinity of an estuary can range from less than 1% to over 3.5%, depending on river flow, tides, and proximity to the ocean. Of the freshwater biomes, streams are marked by their current, whereas lakes and wetlands are standing bodies of water.
  • False
Which of these biomes is characterized by little rainfall?
  • Tundra
  • desert
  • Equator
  • Coniferous forests are the largest terrestrial biome on Earth. However, as a result of logging, they are disappearing at a very rapid rate.
What is a biome?
  • type of community with certain abiotic environmental conditions.Type of ecosystem
  • Water pollution influences the abiotic components of an organism's environment.
  • Rain shadows are dry regions on the leeward side of mountain ranges that result when an air mass releases its moisture on the windward side of the range and then is carried by winds to the leeward side.
  • As warm air rises, air at the top of the atmosphere is pushed poleward and cools.
The _____ biome is the largest of Earth's biomes
  • desert
  • Marine
  • Tundra
  • Estuary
