Scientists report (1) THAT CREATURES LIVING IN THE DEEP SEA ARE IN DANGER OF STARVING TO DEATH. Millions of undiscovered species live, in the deep sea. Creatures in the seabed are suffering from growing food shortages. Which may be a result of rising sea temperatures. Scientists believe that some species will die out, those that can survive on a low food supply will continue living. Not much is known about the creatures that live in the deep sea, not much is known about the changes in their diets. Scientists estimate that up to 10 million species live in the depths of the sea. Most animals of the deep rely on food chains that begin. In the lighted realms of the sea. Microscopic plants called phytoplankton. Capture the sun and start the food cycle. (2) WHEREVER THERE ARE ANIMAL DROPPINGS, there is a constant rain of organic matter (3) THAT FEEDS THE BOTTOM DWELLERS.

Can you please check if they are right? Im not fully sure. Thanks

I think the second one is actually adverbial

1. The underlined part of sentence 1 is an adjectival clause, as it modifies the noun "species."

2. The underlined part of sentence 2 is an adjectival clause, as it modifies the noun "organic matter."
3. The underlined part of sentence 3 is a noun clause, as it functions as the subject of the sentence.

Let's analyze each sentence to determine the types of clauses in question.

1. "Scientists report that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death."
In this sentence, the underlined part "that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death" is functioning as the object of the verb "report." It provides information about what the scientists are reporting. Since it is functioning as an object, it is a noun clause.

2. "Wherever there are animal droppings, there is a constant rain of organic matter."
In this sentence, the underlined part "wherever there are animal droppings" is providing information about the location or condition under which something happens. It is modifying the verb "is." Therefore, it is functioning as an adverbial clause, indicating a location or condition.

3. "That feeds the bottom dwellers."
In this sentence, the underlined part "that feeds the bottom dwellers" is functioning as a relative clause, providing additional information about the organic matter mentioned earlier. It is modifying the noun "organic matter" by expressing its function. Therefore, it is an adjectival clause.
