Cortical areas that are not primarily concerned with sensory motor or language functions are cortical associated areas.  

The cortex association areas are the areas, which perform the function of detection of stimulus, which cannot be easily detected by the help of the primary cortex.  

They are not directly concerned with the sensory and motor information. They are mainly responsible for the interpretation, integration, and generation of action on the information from other areas of cortex.  

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
