Science

Why weathering is important is due to its role in soil formation, as an aspect of sedimentation, as well as its contributions to nutrient cycling, production/degradation of civil engineering raw materials, mineral deposit formation and degradation, landscape development, and morphological evolution of aquatic ecosystems.

Intertidal zone abiotic factors are; light, water, dissolved oxygen, sediments, rocks, physicochemical parameters, and topography.

Intertidal zone biotic factors are; producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers; as well as trophic interactions and processes like; herbivory, predation, decomposition, and symbiosis.

Abiotic factors in a river are; sunlight, water, dissolved oxygen, sediments, rocks, physicochemical parameters, nutrients, topography, and flow trend.

Biotic factors in a river are; producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers, mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, predation, adaptation, and competition.

Kelp forest biotic factors are; producers/autotrophs, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers, mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, competition, predation, and adaptation.

Kelp forest abiotic factors include; light, water, dissolved oxygen, nutrient availability, flow trend/velocity, sediments, rocks, physicochemical parameters, and wind.

Coral reef energy pyramid comprises of producers, primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary consumers; their energy gains, transfers, transformations and losses.

Biotic factors in a pond are; producers; herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers, mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, competition, predation, and adaptation.

Abiotic factors in a pond are; sunlight, water, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, physicochemical parameters, sediments, rock substrate, suspended particles, basin morphology, and hydrological dynamics.
