Quadrats‚ Salinity and pH Levels‚ and The Temperature of various areas. - A Transect line was used to take a random sample of organisms that occur on the sloping rock on the edge of the rock platform. Organisms generally occupy and dominate specific zones. This sampling technique was carried out by constructing a line transect to examine the rock platform from an area of extreme low tide to an area of extreme high tide. Starting at the 0m mark the dominant organisms were identified at each meter. This

Climate Zones according to their locations Have you ever wondered why Alaska and Mexico differ in climates? The average temperature in each zone or region determines the climate and their respective classification. There are three climate zones: the tropical‚ temperate‚ and polar zones. The changes in climate differ because the earth revolves and rotates around the sun in a counter- clockwise direction. These zones are important for the earth because they characterize how the climate in each

universal demarcation of these zones is impossible (Brehaut‚ 1982)‚ but a comprehension of the vertical zonation of rocky shores is clearly essential to an understanding of their ecology. The first attempts to differentiate zones were based on tidal classification (Boaden & Seed‚ 1985). It is easy to distinguish (Brehaut‚ 1982) a sub-littoral zone (one which is never completely uncovered by water)‚ a supra-littoral zone (never completely covered)‚ and a littoral zone (where periodic covering and

The Blue Zones Analysis How we live‚ affects how long we live. In recent studies‚ lifestyle affects 75% of our longevity. This means that our genes and diseases only affect 25% of how long we will live. The Blue Zones takes author Dan Buettner to longevity hot spots around the globe where a disproportionate number of people live a very long time. These hot spots are called blue zones. The term‚ “blue zone”‚ sounded a bit intimidating at first. I was expecting a scientific lesson on genes and aging

How are organisms on a rocky shore distributed? By the horizontal zones that relate to the tolerance of the species to either exposure to air or under water. 3. What three types of bedrock are typically found in a rocky shore ecosystem? Rocky shores‚ sandy shores‚ and salt marsh 4. What are the different zones of the rocky shore? Upper = splash‚ middle = littoral‚ lower = sub littoral. 5. What plants are found in each zone? Be specific on listing them Splash: Lichens Upper: Algae Middle:

to Stephenson’s study. In the supra-littoral zone‚ it was discovered that it had the highest temperature as well as highest level of salinity with the minute dark periwinkle as the indicator species. However‚ Stephenson’s study showed that that nodular periwinkle was the indicated species. The indicated species for the upper-littoral zone were the blue-grey periwinkles‚ for the mid-littoral zone were the 6-plated acorn barnacles and for the lower-littoral zone‚ 4-plated rosy barnacles which were

Shores are split up between horizontal zones depending on how much exposure to the environment the organism can endure. 3. What three types of bedrock are typically found in a rocky shore ecosystem? The three types of bedrocks typically found in a rock shore ecosystem are rocky shore‚ sandy shore‚ and salt marsh. 4. What are the different zones of the rocky shore? (There are three main ones—sometimes a fourth upper zone is called the splash zone. The zones starting from the shoreline can also go
