Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fish dying when the pH goes too high are an example of:
A
an abiotic factor limiting an abiotic factor.
B
an abiotic factor limiting a biotic factor.
C
a biotic factor limiting an abiotic factor.
D
a biotic factor limiting a biotic factor.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -a biotic factor limiting an abiotic factor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources. Others are abiotic, like space, temperature, altitude, and amount of sunlight available in an environment. Limiting factors are usually expressed as a lack of a particular resource.

Detailed explanation-3: -Climatic factors affect the biotic and abiotic elements that influence the numbers and distribution of fish species. Among the abiotic factors are water temperature, salinity, nutrients, sea level, current conditions, and amount of sea ice-all of which are likely to be affected by climate change.

Detailed explanation-4: -A simple example would be of abiotic interaction in plants. Water, sunlight and carbon dioxide are necessary for plants to grow. The biotic interaction is that plants use water, sunlight and carbon dioxide to create their own nourishment through a process called photosynthesis.
