Answer:
1) Estuaries
2) 5 mg 0R 97 percent
3) mangrove
4) Temperature
5) Movement of Water
Explanation:
1) Estuaries
Estuaries are often called the “nurseries of the sea” because so many marine animals reproduce and spend the early part of their lives there. As the tide rises and falls, water depth and chemistry change, creating a wide range of habitats
2)5 mg 0r How much of the water is salty?
97 percent
You may know that the oceans cover about 70 percentthe of Earth's surface, and that about 97 percent of all water on and in the Earth is saline—there's a lot of salty water on our planet.
3) The mangrove is specifically adapted not only to survive the dehydrating effects of salt, but to thrive and spread. Trees besides the mangrove that have high tolerance for salinity include, but are not limited to, horse chestnut, ash, honeylocust, sycamore and hedge maples, sweet gum and American holly
4) Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. ... The temperature of an object, usually measured in degrees-Fahrenheit or degrees-Celsius, tells us how much heat, or energy, the object has.
5) Movement of Water . Surface movement includes rivers, streams, creeks, lakes, ponds, and human-made "flood" control. All surface water is trying to reach sea level due to gravity. As water flows in channels, the streambed and banks of the channel will resist the flow of water.
