5. Why are zebra mussels a problem in the Great Lakes but not in the lake systems where they came from?
a. the other lakes are too cold for them to reproduce in large amounts
b. they have natural predators in the other lakes
c. they cannot leave these lakes
d. they cannot grow into colonies

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c

sodium i think the chemical element of atomic number 11, a soft silver-white reactive metal of the alkali metal group.

well first you need the sample of the temperature and gas level. i couldnt write a hypothesis unless i had some data. i think temperature changes will effect volumes of gas because gas changed into a solid or liquid at specific temperatures.

the species living around the vents are especially good at dispersal.  

deep-sea vent originates on the floor of the ocean when seawater circulates through hot volcanic rocks, usually situated where the new oceanic crust is being produced.  

biological dispersal refers to the movement of species from their location of birth to their site of breeding, or from breeding site to another. similarly, the oceanic dispersal refers to the movement of the species from one land mass to another by sea crossing.
