provide the correct marine ecosystem.
17. A marine ecosystem located in soft-bottomed intertidal zones of the tropics. In the United States, the dominant organism can be any one of four large shrubs/small trees.
18. A marine ecosystem located in the temperate neritic zone.
The dominant organism
is a protist.
21. Most sea turtles hatched along the East Coast of the United States will spend ten or so of their earliest years living in this marine ecosystem.
provide the correct freshwater ecosystem.
29. Areas of saturated ground, receiving water from rainfall and springs, rich in minerals, less acidic that
17)Middle intertidal zone,Tides flow over the middle intertidal zone two times a day and this zone has a larger variety of wildlife
18)The infralittoral neritic zone is the algal-dominated zone down to around five metres below the low water mark.The result is high primary production by photosynthetic life such as phytoplankton and floating sargassum; zooplankton, free-floating creatures ranging from microscopic foraminiferans to small fish and shrimp, feed on the phytoplankton (and one another); both trophic levels in turn form the base of the food chain (or, more properly, web) that supports most of the world's great wild fisheries. Corals are also mostly found in the neritic zone, where they are more common than in the intertidal zone as they have less change to deal with.
21)coral reef ecosystems are filled with an amazing amount of diversity, including hard and soft corals, invertebrates of many sizes, and even large animals, such as sharks and dolphins.
sea turtles are one of the main dominant species
29)The water cycle shows the movement of water through different reservoirs, which include oceans, atmosphere, glaciers, groundwater, lakes, rivers, and biosphere. Solar energy and gravity drive the motion of water in the water cycle. Simply put, the water cycle involves water moving from oceans, rivers, and lakes to the atmosphere by evaporation, forming clouds.
