  • Abiotic Factors in Ecosystems: Definition & Examples
    The nonliving things in an ecosystem are called abiotic factors.

    Here are some examples of abiotic factors:

    * Sunlight: Provides energy for plants.

    * Water: Essential for all living organisms.

    * Temperature: Affects the rate of biological processes.

    * Soil: Provides nutrients and support for plants.

    * Air: Provides oxygen for respiration.

    * Minerals: Essential nutrients for plants and animals.

    * Rocks: Provide shelter and can affect soil composition.

    * pH: Affects the availability of nutrients.

    * Altitude: Affects temperature and pressure.

    * Latitude: Affects climate and sunlight exposure.

    Abiotic factors interact with biotic factors (living organisms) to create a complex and dynamic ecosystem.
