Your friend Sally does not believe abiotic factors are important to an environment. She believes only biotic factors are important to the environment. Explain why abiotic factors are important to the environment. Be sure to include three examples.

Answer 1

Abiotic factors are the non living things in the environment.

In terrestrial ecosystems abiotic factors include things like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, soil, pollution, nutrients, pH, types of soil, and sunlight.

Abiotic factors found in aquatic systems may be things like water depth, pH, sunlight, salinity, available nutrients and dissolved oxygen.

Now these are the things which clearly tells that are responsible for life on Earth.

Sunlight is responsible for photosynthesis, vitamin D in human beings, etc.

Wind is responsible to carry the pollen grains for reproduction

Without air we cannot survive

Others like earthquake or tsunami helps to check the population in control.

So all in all abiotic factors are important to the environment too.
