Science Name: Date: Class: Range of Tolerance Data Analysis One of the responsibilities of an aquatic biologist is to make sure that the abiotic factors stay wiumh the acceptable ranges for the optimal help for the Species within the local ecosystem. Bcologists, including aquatic biologists, use the range of tolerance to monitor the number of different populations residing in the area. m order to do so they use statistical models. Create a graph displaying on the x-axis the ranges of abiotic conditions such as temperature to study the population of rainbow trout in the area ( use the launch model as an example), Label each interval with temperature range and condition. What Causing Stress in Rainbow Trout Population The optimal range is the amount of an abiotic factor that produces the highest possible population. For water temperature, this would be about 6-10°C. Label this area on the graph. 1. 2. The zone of physiologic stress occurs when an abiotic factor exists at levels that are…

In order to have an Af climate, a location must have an average coldest month temperatureabove 18oC and: Group of answer choices a short dry season with precipitation less than 6 cm per month. a warmest monthly mean above 25oC. a long dry season. more than 6 cm of precipitation in every month.
The seasons are best explained by A The distribution of temperature and rainfall in biomes. The fact that the equator is warm and the poles are cold. C The tilt of the Earth on its axis D The distance the earth is to the sun during its annual orbit.
Question:- Which of the following would be a good example of a microclimate? The cool humid air that escapes from an opening to a cave creates small region in which the surrounding temperatures are not as extreme across the year as they are just a few feet away. The weather on north of the Himalayan Mountains tends to be different than the weather south of it. The Hurricanes in the Golf of Mexico tend to be stronger than the ones in the Atlantic Ocean east of Florida all but one of the above none of the above
