Q. What are abiotic factors of the desert?
Precipitation, water availability, sunlight, and temperature are all abiotic factors. Deserts are characterized by their lack of rainfall. Although we usually think of deserts as being hot, some deserts can be cold too.

Q. Is virus biotic or abiotic?
Most biologists say no. Viruses are not made out of cells, they can’t keep themselves in a stable state, they don’t grow, and they can’t make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
Q. Is pH of water abiotic?
Abiotic factors here include water, pH, sunlight, and temperature. If any of those features change, such as increasing the pH of the water, all aquatic life that relies on stable pH will be affected.
Q. Is a dead leaf biotic?
Living things in the environment such as plants, animals, and bacteria are biotic factors. Biotic factors also include once-living parts such as dead leaves on the forest floor. Abiotic factors are nonliving aspects of the environment such as sunlight, temperature and water.
Q. Is lightning biotic or abiotic?
We are interested in noting Lightning as an abiotic factor because it contributes to the sum total of Atmospheric Nitrogen Fixation and is therefore an important feature for all organisms which are dependent on nutrients from the Nitrogen Cycle.
Q. Is a clock a abiotic or biotic factor?
Some clocks are made of plastic. I would say that overall clocks are abiotic as are rocks too. Rocks don’t grow, require energy, or have cells to “survive” because they are nonliving to begin with.
Q. Is a dead body abiotic?
Common mistakes and misconceptions. Dead organisms are not abiotic. However, if something used to be alive, or was part of a living organism (such as a bone, or hair), it is still considered biotic.
Q. Is snail shell abiotic?
Here are the things that have biotic features: bacteria, dead leaves, mosquitoes, milk, hair, plastic, and an empty snail shell. On the other hand, the things that have abiotic features include the following: temperature, wind, sunlight, sand, and ice.
