The environment in a habitat is affected by many factors. These are physical factors, nonliving ones, and biotic factors, living ones. These factors vary completely in different areas. In this essay the two places I'll be taking are the rocky shore and the inland. Though they are not far away from each other, their ecosystems differ in many ways; I'll try to explain why and why some habitats are more suitable for organisms than others.
             I'll start first with the physical factors. These include air temperature, wind speed, humidity and most important the soil. These are very important because they determine which animals are going to live in the habitat and their way of living.
             Air temperature affects as much in the inland as in the rocky shore. This, of course, was measured using a thermometer. We put the thermometer at ground level and wrote down the temperature. For this experiment the rocky shore had a higher temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, though the difference was 4 degrees. The reason for this mere change is actually due to a biotic factor, which is that plants stopped the total exposure of the soil to the sun. The air temperature affects the evaporation rate in the inland, which affects the plants. In the rocky shore some organisms have to adapt themselves to the heat, most of them try to prevent dehydration and not many do this.
             For measuring the wind speed a special apparatus was used, though it is not very accurate (due to the fact that wind speed changes from one second to another), you can measure the range of the wind speed. There is a really big in wind speed between the inland and the rocky shore. The wind in the rocky shore has a speed of 6 to 7 mph, whereas in the inland the wind speed is zero mph. The reason for this is that a lot of plants block the wind; the rocky shore hasn't got a lot of plant. One of the most destructive consequences of a lot of wind is soil erosion. The wind bl...
