Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water. In a marine ecosystem, abiotic factors would include salinity and ocean currents. Abiotic and biotic factors work together to create a unique ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Description. Biotic and abiotic factors are what make up ecosystems. Biotic factors are living things within an ecosystem; such as plants, animals, and bacteria, while abiotic are non-living components; such as water, soil and atmosphere. The way these components interact is critical in an ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nonliving, or abiotic components of an ecosystem include the sun’s energy, water, air (atmospheric gases), and rock, which makes up the landforms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abiotic means non-living components such as air, water, soil, light and temperature. From the above options, tree is a living component. So it is not an abiotic component.

Detailed explanation-5: -The non-living factors of the ecosystem include sunlight, temperature, precipitation, soil, and water. The non-living parts of the ecosystem are key to maintaining the energy flow and nutrient cycle.
