Study Notes
Solar Radiation and Marine Organisms
- Marine organisms are unevenly distributed in water depending on their light and energy needs.
- This means that different types of marine life can be found at different depths due to their specific light and energy requirements.
Direct and Scattered Solar Radiation
- Solar radiation reaching Earth can be classified into two categories: direct and scattered.
- Direct solar radiation is the radiation that reaches Earth's surface without scattering.
- Scattered radiation is the radiation that is scattered by clouds, aerosols, and other atmospheric components.
Investigating Light Intensity in Water
- The light intensity of water can be tested at different depths.
- This helps determine the impact of light on marine organisms at different depths.
- The relationship between light intensity and depth affects photosynthesis and marine organism distribution.
