Question
Answer the following about the biogeographic classification MEOW, or marine ecoregions of the world, for 10 points each.
[10m] Realms, the largest units in MEOW, include the West Indo-Pacific and Temperate Australasia and are defined by a high rate of this property for species. Over 90% of non-flying mammal species on Luzon have this property.
ANSWER: endemic [accept word forms like endemism]
[10e] MEOW categorizes coastal regions up to a cutoff at the 200 meter isobath, which traditionally marks the edge of this feature. Past this region, the ocean floor slopes deeply until it reaches the abyssal plain.
ANSWER: continental shelf [prompt on shelf]
[10h] MEOW succeeded an approach based on LMEs, or large marine ecosystems, which are defined by coastal areas where this quantity is higher than the open ocean. The f-ratio is the amount of this quantity derived from nitrate compared to other nitrogen compounds.
ANSWER: primary productivity [or primary production; accept oceanic primary productivity or marine primary production]
