Question
Chapter 30.4, Problem 2CYL
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The effect of water depth and proximity to the shore help to determine the nature and abundance of life in each aquatic biome.
Introduction:
The aquatic biome is the largest biome present on Earth. This biome is divided into two regions: freshwater biomes (surface water, ice caps, rivers and ponds) and marine biome (estuaries and oceans). The availability of sunlight decreases as the depth of an aquatic biome increases. The nutrients are mostly available to the bottom dwellers where light is least.
