What is the zone near the shore of a lake or river called?
-
Profundal Zone
-
Limnetic Zone
-
Littoral Zone
-
Stratification Zone
Correct Answer
A. Littoral ZoneExplanation
The correct answer is Littoral Zone. The littoral zone refers to the area near the shore of a lake or river. It is the shallowest part of the water body and is characterized by the presence of rooted plants and a diverse range of organisms. The littoral zone is an important habitat for many species and plays a crucial role in the overall ecosystem of the lake or river.Rate this question:

What kind of lakes are clear without too much algae called
-
Eutrophic
-
Oligotrophic
-
Organic
-
Offshore
Correct Answer
A. OligotrophicExplanation
Oligotrophic lakes are clear without too much algae. They have low nutrient levels, which limits the growth of algae and other aquatic plants. This results in clear water with high visibility. Oligotrophic lakes are often deep and have a low concentration of dissolved oxygen. They typically have a limited amount of organic matter and support a smaller number of species compared to eutrophic lakes.Rate this question:

-
An expanse of freshwater in Europe
-
An freshwater source in North and South America
-
An collection of freshwater throughout the United States and Canada
Correct Answer
A. An collection of freshwater throughout the United States and CanadaExplanation
The Great Lakes are a collection of freshwater throughout the United States and Canada. They are a group of five interconnected lakes located in North America, consisting of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. They are the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world, containing about 22% of the world's surface freshwater.

The change of a pond into another landforms is...
Correct Answer
successionExplanation
Succession refers to the process of change or development in an ecosystem over time. In the context of the given question, the change of a pond into another landform can be considered as an example of ecological succession. This process involves a series of predictable and orderly changes in the species composition and structure of the ecosystem. As the pond undergoes succession, it may gradually transform into a different landform, such as a meadow or a forest, as different species colonize and modify the environment.Rate this question:
