Question

There is an ecosystem that gets abundant sun, moderate temperatures and regular rain. What might you expect in this ecosystem? A. The diversity of microorganisms is likely very low. B. Soil quality is likely very poor. C. There are only a few species of animals living there. D. Soil quality is likely very good.

Answer 1

Soil quality is likely very good.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an ecosystem receives regular moisture through rain, is exposed to plenty of sun and experiences moderate temperatures, the growing conditions are very good. There is likely to be abundant plant life. As plants grow, die and decay, they add nutrients to the soil, improving soil quality. (Study island)

Answer 2

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The existence of a good and favorable ecosystem depends upon certain factors such as temperature, rainfall, and sunlight. In a place where there is abundant rainfall, sunlight and moderate temperature, there occurs an ecosystem that is rich in a variety of species as it provides the necessary elements that support the existence of a favorable ecosystem. Due to the moderate temperature and good amount of precipitation, the soil in this ecosystem gets the required nutrients that help in the growth of different species of plants and trees. This given condition reflects a tropical type of ecosystem where there are numerous trees and also a huge variety of species exists. The tropical ecosystem lies in the equatorial and near-equatorial region on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
