Answer from: uuuuyyu
Elk obviously need the vegetation they eat to be abundant and unlike believed in the past they need to be prayed on by predators. Without predators, the elk overpopulate and eat all of the plants and cause other animals like beavers to die off.

Answer from: Quest

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
