How does the temperature of the ocean water change as is gets deeper?
It decreases
It increases
Stays the same
It varies from day to day
Water temperature:
has no effect on the animals in a marine ecosystem
Affects the types of organisms that can live in a marine ecosystem
increases gradually as the water gets deeper
increases in salinity as the water gets deeper

intertidal
neritic
open ocean
benthic
ocean floor; deepest part that gets no sunlight
intertidal
neritic
oceanic
benthic
where the ocean meets the land; exposed to air part of the day

Which experiences the least change over time?
Pioneer Species
Primary Succession
Aquatic Succession
Climax Community
What is a common characteristic among pioneer species?
roots that break apart rocks
long thick roots
exposed surface roots
soak up water quickly
Which of the following best describes primary succession?
Volcano wipes out ecosystem that gradually grows back from ash covered soil
Volcano creates a new island of rock that must break down to form an ecosystem
Forest fire burns down forest that must bounce back over time
Tornado destroys a crop that must slowly grow back over time.
Which would result in primary succession?
volcano destroying habitat leaving only soil and ash
Tornado destroying a crop leaving very little soil
Glacier retreating exposing bare rock
limiting factors
