1)) The average depth of a lake is 10 meters. Do you think sunlight acts a limiting factor the same way it does in the ocean? Why or why not? 2)An area with a high population of crayfish in local lakes and rivers has begun experiencing acid rain, rain that has a pH of 3.0 - 4.0. Predict how this rain will impact the crayfish population.

No.

Explanation:

No, the sunlight does not act as a limiting factor the same way it does in the ocean because the lake has lower depth as compared to ocean which is very deep i. e. more than 3000 meters where sunlight does not reach and we know that sunlight is very important for the survival of plants. Sunlight reach in the water about 1000 meters so plants can survive and do photosynthesis due to its low depth.

Acid rain will impact the crayfish population because acid rain decreases the pH of water and this lower pH causes death of the crayfish and also the food of crayfish and thus lower the population of crayfish due to unavailability of food..
