  2. It must be identical to other such units.
  3. Its characteristics are sufficiently pronounced to differentiate it from other units.

    Regarding the factors influencing zonation in lake ecosystems, which statement is correct?

    1. Horizontal zonation in lakes is solely determined by the direct influence of sunlight and temperature.
    2. Vertical zonation is a direct result of temperature, sunlight, and oxygen gradients.
    3. The distribution of lake organisms does not play a role in horizontal zonation.
    4. Dissolved oxygen levels are uniform at all depths in a lake.

      What are the key factors contributing to pronounced thermal stratification in lakes during summer?

      1. Increased solar intensity during summer heats the surface layer significantly, while lower layers remain cooler.
      2. The rapid mixing of water layers by strong winds prevents the formation of distinct temperature gradients.
      3. The thermally stratified layers offer resistance to mixing by wind, helping to maintain the temperature differences.
      4. A decrease in solar radiation during summer leads to the formation of thermal gradients.
