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.

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: -Water, rocks, wind, sun, temperature and humidity are all examples of nonliving components in ecosystems that can interact with each other and also affect living organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -All non-living components of an ecosystem, such as atmospheric conditions and water resources, are called abiotic components.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some examples of important nonliving things in an ecosystem are sunlight, water, air, wind, and rocks. Living things grow, change, produce waste, reproduce, and die.
