Scientists have a theory about the relationship between climate and biodiversity. Which best describes this theory? Warmer climates promote higher biodiversity, allowing plants to grow year-round. This supports more organisms that rely on plants. Colder climates promote higher biodiversity, reducing the competition among organisms for food. This supports stronger organisms that live longer. Warmer climates promote higher biodiversity because they tend to receive more rainfall. This provides a source of water for more organisms. Colder climates promote higher biodiversity because they are usually larger in size. This provides space for more organisms.

A

Explanation:

the warmer climates help the plants.

there are many warm/hot climates without lots of rainfall so a is the answer

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
