Question

plankton thrive in areas where
a) two cold ocean currents meet.
b) two warm ocean currents meet.
c) worm and cold ocean currents meet.
d) the salinity of water is very high.​

Answer 1

Phytoplankton thrive along coastlines and continental shelves, along the equator in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and in high-latitude areas. Winds play a strong role in the distribution of phytoplankton because they drive currents that cause deep water, loaded with nutrients, to be pulled up to the surface.

Answer 2

Planktons thrive in areas only where warm and cold ocean currents meet.

• The Greek term for "wanderer" or "drifter" is "plankton." If an organism cannot swim effectively enough just to move against currents and tides and is carried by them, it is referred to as plankton.
• Some plankton drift in this direction throughout the whole of their lives. Others are first just categorised as plankton, but ultimately they become big enough just to move against the currents.
• Typically minuscule and often less than an inch long, plankton also includes some bigger species, such as certain crabs and jellyfish.
• Plankton is categorised by scientists in a number of ways, including size, kind, and amount of time spent floating. However, the two most fundamental classifications separate plankton into the zooplankton divisions (animals) and phytoplankton.
