The chart shows four stages of demographic transition. Which situation best describes the transitional stage (Stage 2)? Stage 1 Preindustrial stage Stage 2 Transitional stage Stage 3 Industrial stage Stage 4 Postindustrial stage 40 30 Rate per 1000 20 10 0 Total population Death rate Birthrate O A. Sharply dropping birthrate and death rate B. High birthrate and dropping death rate C. High birthrate and equally high death rate O D. High and stable total population​

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
