What is the loggerhead sea turtle's habitat? What is special about organisms in benthic zones? In what environment do coral reefs form? What type of habitat do echinoderms live in? What are marine ecosystem services? Are the most productive marine habitats in the open ocean?
Open oceans span several kilometers from coast to coast and run hundreds of kilometers deep. To study oceans and its organisms that live there, the open ocean is divided into different layers or zone. The definition of thepelagic zoneis that area of the ocean excluding its coastal waters and...
Planet Earth is made up of four overlapping subsystems that contain all of world’s land masses, water sources, living organisms, and gases. These four subsystems are known as spheres. Geographers break down the Earth’s systems into four spheres that make up the world’s air (atmosphere),...
It is then surprising that manycreatures can live in this extreme environment. They cannot rely solely on theireyesight to survive and have evolved fascinating characteristics. Indeed, manyorganisms in the deep ocean are blind. In order to obtain food and avoid being caught,they have to depend ...
Open Document Banded Iron Formation 1. Describe Earth’s early atmosphere. The atmosphere was carbon dioxide with barle an oxygen. But as the Earth became colder, most of the water formed the oceans. 2. What microorganism is credited with the accumulation of free oxygen in the atmosphere?
from each fork, and inspected them under microscopic view. After gathering data and identifying the different kinds of organisms living in the different forks we assessed whether the organisms from the samples could live in high or low resolution water. We also took a t-test to assess the prob...
It's also tough to locate the organisms themsalves. Finding amphipods in thedeep open ocean is like finding needles in a haystack. Scientists sometimes use large nets to scoop (up whatever is in thesen around them, but there's no guarantee that they'll get what they are lookcing for....
Blue whales are thought to be thelargest animalever to live on the Earth, let alone the largest animal still living. They can reach lengths of up to 100 feet and weight between 100 and 150 tons. Diet and Feeding Blue whales, like other whales with baleen, eat only very small organisms....
First of all, the sea is home to an incredibly diverserange of life forms There are tiny plankton that float near the surface These little organisms are the base of the ocean food chain Without them, many of the larger creatures in the sea would not be able to survive There are also co...
