Abiotic Factors
• Water (temp and depth)
• Sunlight
• Landscape
• Temperature
– The temp of the water is a very significant
factor in the north pacific marine life, because
it affects the chemical reactions that happen
in the water.
Most of the animals live in the top layer of the
water because it is all about the same
temperature, thanks to the energy from the
sun. The sun is a part of the reason the plants
and one celled organisms thrive in these
photonic zone, creating food for other living
creatures.
