Compare and contrast the dark zone of the ocean with the forest floor of a tropical rain forest. what living or nonliving factors affect these areas?

Understandably, the ocean floor receives very little sunlight, because of how far down it is and the way that water molecules scatter and absorb light. As a result, the organisms have many adaptations to help them survive even this harsh climate.

Similarly to the ocean floor, the bottom of a rain forest doesn't receive much sunlight either. The plants there have adapted to have huge leaves, so that they can get as much sunlight for photosynthesis as possible.

wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.
