- Water activity is a better index for microbial growth than water content since microorganism only uses available water of the food sample. Some factors affecting the responses of microorganisms to water activity are the production of metabolites, taxonomic classification and solute concentration.
How they move influences climate and living conditions for plants and animals, even on land. Currents flow in complex patterns affected by wind, the water's salinity and heat content, bottom topography, and the earth's rotation. Surface water movement takes place in the form of currents.Currents move ocean water horizontally at the ocean's surface. Surface currents are driven mainly by the wind. Other forces such as the Coriolis effect and the location of landmasses do affect surface current patterns.The Coriolis Effect explains how the earth's spin causes the wind to curve.ow they move influences climate and living conditions for plants and animals, even on land.
