Gibbs' Paradox is shown to arise from an incorrect traditional definition of the entropy that has unfortunately become entrenched in physics textbooks. Among its flaws, the traditional definition predicts a violation of the second law of thermodynamics when applied to colloids.
Abiotic and Biotic Factors in the Intertidal Zone. Abiotic and Biotic factors in the Intertidal Zone:Abiotic:Water Depth, temperature, turbulence, Salinity, Ph Balance, Tides, Winds, SedimentBiotic:Human Impact, Density of Algae/Kelp, Population of: Plants, Mollusks, Crustaceans, Worms, Fish, Birds, Mammals.biotic and Biotic Factors in the Intertidal Zone.

Organisms in the intertidal zone are adapted to an environment of harsh extremes. Water is available regularly with the tides but varies from fresh with rain to highly saline and dry salt with drying between tidal inundations.The action of waves can dislodge residents from the littoral zone.ith the intertidal zone's high exposure to the sun, the temperature range can be anything from very hot with full sun to near freezing in colder climates.
