What are some examples of biotic factors in an ecosystem?
2014年6月15日 · Examples of biotic factors include any animals, plants, trees, grass, bacteria, moss, or molds that you might find in an ecosystem. In general, biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem and are sorted into three groups: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores. Examples of biotic factors include: Grass as producers (autotrophs). Mouse ...
How do the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem
2018年5月3日 · It varies by the ecosystem. Abiotic factors can be extremely broad. Sunlight, air, soil, rock, minerals, water, etc. are all biotic factors. Sunlight provides energy that plants utilize to grow, which ultimately holds up the whole biotic community of an ecosystem. Air also interacts with plants, helping them grow by providing a source of carbon (CO2) and other nutrients. In general, abiotic ...

Time : Since soils take many years to form. 3. Climate : The type of soil formed depends on the type of climate of that place. 4. Relief : Depends on the landscape and slope it has. 5. Organisms : Refers to the organisms that ...
What is eluviation and in which layer is this most likely to
2017年8月4日 · The eluviation process can be defined as the remotion process of soil particles (like oxides and organic materials) of superficial horizons to deeper horizons The occurrence of eluviation process, is related with the water dynamics, inside the soil. This process leads to the removal of finer soil components, from the superficial horizons and deposited in the deepest horizons (such as oxides ...

What are the four agents of erosion? - Socratic
2016年8月24日 · Wind, water, gravity, and ice Water can erode soil material. Especially if the soil is bare, dry and erodable erosion via rain particles can occur. Wind is another factor that cause soil erosion. Dry soil particles (especially if they are fine) can move to other areas if wind exists. Ice is another issue on erosion. Ice, when it is melting, can carry soil particles.
A container contains a mixture of sand, salt, and pebbles ... - Socratic
2018年2月5日 · See the explanation below :- 1) Pour the mixture in a container having water and stir well. The salt will dissolve in it. 2) Now pass the mixture (aqueous) into another container using a sieve. The sand and the solution will pass through sieve and the pebbles will get separated out. 3) Then pass the salt solution having sand through a filter paper into another container using a funnel with a ...
What are some examples of carbon sources and carbon sinks?
2016年11月26日 · Carbon sinks include the oceans, plants, and soil. This image shows sinks in blue and fluxes or changes in carbon in red: Typically, sources and sinks balance one another. For example, the carbon emitted during respiration is offset by photosynthesis (see the image above). However, the burning of fossil fuels is an important carbon source.
What does the plant need in order to make its own food?
2018年2月16日 · Chlorophyll is green pigment that entraps solar energy which is necessary for the synthesis of food by plants during photosynthesis, by using carbon dioxide and water. Plants synthesize their own food from simple substances like carbon dioxide and water in presence of light during photosyntheis. The plants need energy for the synthesis of food that is obtained from sunlight. The solar energy ...
