This is an image of a kelp forest. all but one is a characteristic of kelp and kelp forests on the west coast of north america. that is: a) kelp are large brown algae. b) kelp live in cool, relatively shallow waters close to the shore. c) kelp forests form in deep, open waters and are found at depths greater than 130 feet. d) aquatic organisms use the thick blades in a kelp forest as a shelter for their young from predators in the area.

The answer is option C.

Explanation:

This is a picture of a kelp timberland. Everything except ONE is a normal for kelp and kelp backwoods on the west bank of North America. That is, Kelp are extensive dark colored green growth.  Kelp live in cool, generally shallow waters near the shore.  Kelp timberland shape in profound, vast waters and are found at profundities more prominent than 130 feet.  Aquatic life forms utilize the thick edges in a kelp backwoods as an asylum for their young from predators in the region.

metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). the change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. i hoped i !

well, that's easy; the answer's c, "it reduces contamination of the water and substrate of the estuary."
