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: -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: -Sunlight, air, precipitation, minerals, and soil are some examples of abiotic factors. These factors have a significant impact on the survival and reproduction of species in an ecosystem. For instance, without an adequate amount of sunlight, autotrophic organisms may not be able to survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Five common abiotic factors which affect living being are atmosphere, chemical elements, sunlight/temperature, wind and water.
