<u>Answer:</u>

It is more difficult for plants to live in the benthic zone of the lake than in the littoral zone because the benthic zone lacks ample availability of dissolved oxygen and sunlight.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The benthic zone forms the part of the floor of the lake. If the lake is very deep, it is clear that the sunlight must not be reaching the benthic zone of the lake.
  • Also, the concentration of dissolved oxygen there would also be comparatively less than the littoral zone which is in adjacency with the atmosphere and is thus supplied with ample oxygen.

In unusually cold winters the northern black sea sometimes freezes while the nearby adriatic sea usually does not in the same co
k0ka [10]
<span>Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and as salinity increases, the required temperature to freeze decreases. The freezing point for water at 18 0/00 is 30.233 degrees Fahrenheit. So, for the black sea to freeze, it would need to be less than about thirty and a quarter degrees in both areas. Further for the Adriatic not to freeze it must be assumed that the Adriatic's salinity is higher, probably significantly higher as to avoid even partially freezing. Furthermore, as the Black Sea's decreased salinity is attributed to nearby freshwater runoff, it is safe to assume that the Adriatic Sea either A) Has little or no freshwater runoff, or B) Has a mitigating factor that negates any freshwater runoff, allowing the salinity of its water to remain high.</span>

Drupady [299]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Fertile Crescent is basically where human civilization started. It stretches from Mesopotamia and across the Mediterranean coast to Egypt. Early civilizations depended on agriculture. To make agriculture, you need a river because it is a good water source to help grow your crops.

If you look at the map I have provided below, you will see that there are tons of rivers. This would make it very easy for settlers to grow crops. This means that sea tides and eroding mountains aren't the answer. I don't think the rivers were flooding and natural canals is an oxymoron because canals are artificial waterways, but this all should give you and idea.

Have a wonderful day! :D

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The presence of mustones by curiosity rover indicates chances of ancient life.

Explanation:

  • The Yellowknife bay is a geologic formation of the Gale crater on the planet Mars and NASA named the rover as a curiosity. Its primary goal was to assess the potential habitability and whether the mars are capable to support life.  
  • The presence of the mudstones in the geologic depression area on mars leads to its name as Yellowknife i.e the capital of the northwest territory of Canada.
  • The findings of the mudstone from the stepped bedded stata indicate the clay minerals that show the presence of water and claims that an ancient creator was found on in this region and these indicators of a potential mafic source of origin of deposition.
