Life span should probably be reserved for things which have life - living things.
It is only by analogy that we consider the life of the universe, the Sun, the half life of radionuclides, the Plate Tectonic cycle, and so on.
In manufacturing we may consider the product life cycle, or the expected life of a product such as a cellphone, but these again are only by analogy.
Nonliving things you might find in an ecosystem include rocks, sunlight, water, air, soil, and temperature. These abiotic factors play a crucial role in shaping the environment and influencing the organisms that live there.
Marine biologists study nonliving factors like water temperature, salinity, pH levels, and ocean currents to understand their impact on marine ecosystems. They also research nonliving structures like coral reefs, underwater geology, and ocean pollution to assess their effects on marine life.
The same kind of nonliving things you'd find in a forest: rocks, dirt, sand, water, decayed biological matter (e.g. insect husks and leaf litter), etc.
Spontaneous generation was observed when living organisms seemed to appear from nonliving matter, such as maggots appearing on decaying meat. This led some to believe that life could spontaneously arise from inanimate materials.
Some examples of living things that may appear to be nonliving include dormant seeds, non-moving plants, and hibernating animals. These organisms can exhibit characteristics of nonliving objects due to their lack of activity or apparent growth.
yes non living things have a feature of life - increase in body mass
Living things can carry out all six life processes which are using energy, getting energy, growing, getting rid of waste, and reacting to change. However, nonliving things can only carry out some or none life processes.
Garbage
Some nonliving things in a rainforest are clouds, rocks, and soil. Soil is not neccesarily nonliving. The nutrients inside of it are living, but soil is not.
All are made from matter.
stuff
Animals step on dirt, which is nonliving.
nonliving things are things that don't use energy
Ice, water and air.
because it is
a bunny using the ground as a burrow
Some abiotic factors of the rain forest are water, soil, and rocks. If it is not living then it can not be apart of the rainforest everything essentially has life.
