1. Write a hypothesis describing what you believe may be causing the heavy growth of algae in the
pond. Base your hypothesis on your observations
of the two ponds.

The hypothesis is ''the higher population of algae in a pond has a direct relation on the higher concentration of nutrients in the pond''

Explanation:

''The higher population of algae in a pond has a direct relation on the higher concentration of nutrients in the pond''. The population of algae increases vigorously when there is high concentration of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the pond. So if there are two ponds having different concentration of nutrients so the population of algae will be higher in that pond where nutrients are present in high amount.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
