Abiotic means without life. A- =without, -bio- =life, -tic =pertaining to. Anything you can think of that is not alive would be abiotic. In this case it would be air, rocks, stones, gravel, sand and what little rain that would fall.
Examples of abiotic factors include sunlight, temperature, water availability, and soil pH. These non-living factors can influence the growth and distribution of organisms in an ecosystem.
three abiotic factors would be water, air and soil
No
Lightning is an abiotic factor since it is a physical phenomenon caused by the discharge of electricity in the atmosphere. Biotic factors, on the other hand, are living organisms that can have an impact on ecosystems.
A nonliving factor would be called an abiotic factor. A living factor would be called biotic
There are none. Deserts are arid, not semiarid. A semiarid region would be a steppe or a grassland.
Deserts are arid, not semiarid. Grasslands are semiarid as are steppes. There are no semiarid deserts.
Deserts contain both biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) factors.
Deserts contain both biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) factors.
Rain or Sun
Deserts receives less percipitation than Semiarid regions.
Sand, soil, gravel, rock and water are some abiotic factors found in deserts.
There is no such place as the semiarid desert. Deserts are arid. Grasslands are semiarid as are steppes.
Deserts are arid, nor semiarid. Semiarid regions are usually grasslands or steppe. The danger is that human abuse of these regions will turn them into true deserts.
Sand,Air,All non-living things
Deserts are arid, not semiarid. Semiarid would be other biomes such as the grasslands or steppes.
Rocks are nonliving (abiotic) yet form part of the environment found in a desert.
