Answer 1

59. Temperate Grasslands is the correct answer. They are also known as prairies. It contains hot summers and cold winters.

Chaparral: It is part consist of mountains and plains. It has heavy rainfall and a great variety of flora and fauna. It is situated in lower central America. So this option is incorrect. Savanna consist of woodland and grassland ecosystem and plants are widely spaced so that the flow of light is easy to reach the ground. So it is also incorrect. Desert is a part where vegetation is less due to less fertility of land and rainfall is also low in amount.

60. Estuaries are the correct answer.  It is a water body that consists of one or more rivers flowing into it and which opens into the sea. It is a transition area between the sea and the river.

The intertidal zone is an area above the sea level. So it is incorrect. Wetland consists of water temporarily and maybe on seasons. Pelagic zone consist of depths of the sea thus has levels divided into columns. So it is also incorrect.

61. The seafloor is correct. the marine benthic zone is located in the starting of shoreline and continues till bottom. It is a barren area that plays a vital role in the ecological system.

The deep open ocean consists of pelagic zone so it is incorrect. Intertidal area has solid rocks and it has tides that consist of maximum soil erosion. the neritic zone is the zone where sunlight reaches the ocean. So all these options are incorrect.

62. The oceanic pelagic zone is the correct answer. The marine biome covers ~70% of the earth's surface and has an average depth of 4000 meters. It is the largest biome and covers all the marine ecosystems.

The abyssal zone is part of the pelagic zone o it is incorrect. The coral reef covers only 1 % of the ocean so it is also incorrect. The intertidal zone Intertidal area has solid rocks and it has tides that consist of maximum soil erosion.

63. Autotrophs are the correct answer.  They make their food using sunlight and forms a base for other organisms.

Zooplankton are heterotrophic sea plants under the sea levels. Herbivores feed on autotrophs. Carnivores feed on herbivores for their food.
