Vedclass · Answer

(B) The temperature gradient over the Earth's surface is approximately $6.4^{\circ} C$ to $6.5^{\circ} C$ per $1000 \, m$ of latitude (moving from the equator towards the poles). This gradient results in a decrease in mean temperature as one moves from the equator to the poles. Organisms are classified based on their temperature requirements: $1$. Megatherms: Tropical organisms. $2$. Mesotherms: Sub-tropical organisms. $3$. Microtherms: Temperate organisms. $4$. Hekistotherms: Arctic organisms.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$i$. Eurythermal	$a$. Can tolerate only a narrow range of salinity
$ii$. Stenothermal	$b$. Can tolerate a wide range of temperature
$iii$. Euryhaline	$c$. Can tolerate a wide range of salinity
$iv$. Stenohaline	$d$. Can tolerate only a narrow range of temperature

The temperature gradient over the Earth's surface is:
