Hi everyone here's our next question blank is not a known characteristic of terrestrial bio MEMS. So, meaning land based. So again, we're looking for the characteristic that is not characteristic a characteristic of terrestrial land based by OEMs. So let's work through our choices here. Choice A says temperature. Well, temperature is important in determining things about a land by OEM arctic environment versus desert environment. So let's eliminate choice A. We know that is a characteristic choice B says soil type. Again, also a characteristic of terrestrial bio times by OEMs. Do we have fertile soil that will grow all sorts of plants? Do we have sand that doesn't grow much. So choice be not correct. Do I see amount of precipitation also important also a characteristic of terrestrial biomass. Are we talking about desert versus rainforest? So choice C. Is not correct. Well now we're down to choice D choice D. Is says mixing. Well mixing is a characteristic not of land by OEMs but of aquatic or marine by OEMs. And if we think of it in that context, um you can kind of guess by the name. That's the process of changing salinity, nutrients or temperature in water columns. Um as a response to mechanical forces like waves, winds, tides. So obviously that's a very important characteristic of environment in which everything is living in water. So our correct answer here is mixing. Mixing is a characteristic of aquatic by OEMs not terrestrial by OEMs. Thanks for watching. See you in the next video
