Why is the open ocean so low in productivity?
because there are no reefs that harbour life in the ocean reefs sustain life in the ocean in great numbers, but are not found in the open ocean
Can you detect a tsunami in open ocean?
With the right instruments, yes. However, if you were on a boat in the open ocean, you would not notice any disturbance.
What organisms inhabit the upper zone of the open ocean and why are they so important?

a rift zone that may eventually open into a major ocean if Arabia and Africa continue to separate
What are waves in the open ocean called?

What are the biotic factors of the bobcat?
cheetah's are found in open partially open savanna
What are the ocean zones of a marine ecosystem from the shallowest to the deepest?
There are two major ocean zones, Pelagic and Benthic zones. The Pelagic zone is the open ocean and the Benthic zone is the ocean bottom.
How do the abiotic and biotic factors change as an open field undergoes succession?
An open field's abiotic and biotic factors change when it undergoes succession. The biotic factors change from being small insects like ants, spiders, and mites to mice, foxes, birds, and snakes. The open field is a habitat for small insects because it has grass, other insects, and dirt to eat. When the field turns into a forest there comes different animals because there are different things to eat. The forest is a habitat for small animals because there are tree leaves, other animals, berries, and many other things to eat. In addition to animals, other biotic factors appear when the field undergoes succession. Fungus starts to grow in the now, forest. Fungus grows because the tree cover makes it damper on the forest floor. The fungi will grow in the hot, damp places in the forest. Abiotic factors change as well as Biotic factors. In an open field there is nothing stopping the wind from rushing through it. When the field undergoes succession there is less wind because there are trees to block it from blowing in. Temperature changes likewise to wind. In the open field the temperature would be warm because the sun is able to heat the ground where as in a forest the trees shade the forest floor causing it to stay cool. The tree cover also makes the forest floor more damp compared to the open field's ground which will be dry because of the sun's availability to evaporate the damp spots on the ground. All things considered, I believe many abiotic and biotic factors change as an open field undergoes succession.
What are two factors that affect your weather the most?
Insolaration (energy of the Sun reaching the ground) and nearness to open water (the ocean).
Types of ocean?
the types of ocean biomes are the near shore zone,the intertidal zone and the open ocean zone
What is the fear of open ocean called?
Thalassophobia is fear of the open ocean.
What is the temp of the open ocean zone?
surface/ open ocean zone was warmer than the deep ocean. Sunlight can reach the open ocean so the temp. is warm.
What animals are in an open-ocean zone?
In the open ocean you can find the Blue whale
What are abiotic factors for open ocean?
factors that are nonliving that play a role in the ecosystem. This includes sand and rocks on the ocean floor, shells of organisms, sunlight entering the water, and the water itself.
What non-living things live in the open ocean?
glass is nonliving. The non-living factors that are part of the ocean ecosystem include water, the substrate (rock or sand), and the minerals and gases dissolved in the water.
Why is the open ocean so low in productivity?
because there are no reefs that harbour life in the ocean reefs sustain life in the ocean in great numbers, but are not found in the open ocean
Which is not about a wave in the open ocean?
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.
