1. Currents flow are affected by wind‚ the water’s salinity and heat content‚ bottom topography‚ and the earth’s rotation. Without these factors currents wouldn’t be able to form 2. Heat may be another factor that would affect currents. Currents might need to be the right temperature to form. 3. Earth’s rotation and strong seasonal winds causes upwelling. Upwelling push surface water away from some western coasts‚ so water rises on the western edges of continents to replace it. Marine life thrives

nutrients stored in dead biomass back to a form that can be readily used by plants and other microbes. Ecosystems are controlled both by external and internal factors. External factors such as climate‚ the parent material which forms the soil and topography‚ control the overall structure of an ecosystem and the way things work within it‚ but are not themselves influenced by the ecosystem.[8] Other external factors include time and potential biota. Ecosystems are dynamic entities—invariably‚ they are

Some physical causes are rising temperatures‚ falling rainfall‚ wind‚ flash floods and topography. Soil degradation has many consequences on environment and populations. These consequences can occur in a short time period with little warning. These consequences can be both local or beyond the locality and most likely global. Desertification
