Which examples represent abiotic factors affecting biotic factors? Check all that apply.
-sediment builds up in a riverbed, slowing the river's speed.
-ash from a volcanic eruption kills new plant growth.
-a hungry raccoon consumes a freshwater clam.
-warm water from a nuclear power plant causes overgrowth of algae.
-a river floods and deposits tree pollen along its banks.

The non-living chemical and physical components that are part of the ecology and environment is called abiotic factor while biotic factors are living organism that is part of the ecosystem.

The correct examples are:

Option B. Ash from a volcanic eruption kills new plant growth.Option D. Warm water from a nuclear power plant causes the overgrowth of algae.Option E. A river floods and deposits tree pollen along its banks.

The effects can be explained as:

Abiotic factors like temperature, water, air, soil etc. affect the biotic factors like plants and animals of an ecosystem.Ash from volcanoes and warm water discharged from nuclear plants are abiotic factors that affect the growth of biotic factors like plant and algae.

Thus, options B, D and E are correct choices.

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would  notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student,  including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as  edutech.
