Question

ralph is testing water quality in a stream. he is documenting the temperature, light, water availability, and water quality. what type of factors is he assessing?
(1 point)
biotic factors
abiotic factors
life zone factors
anthropogenic factors

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are non-living components of an ecosystem. Temperature, light, water availability, and water quality (physical/chemical properties) are all non-living, so they are abiotic factors. Biotic factors relate to living organisms, life zone factors refer to broad ecological zones, and anthropogenic factors are human-caused—none of these match the listed measurements.

Answer:

B. abiotic factors
