What is the difference between endangered species and extinct species?
Endangered species are low in amount, extinct is gone forever.

Since a volcanic eruption will expose brand new rock that has no soil, which succession will take place in order to achieve the perfect environment?
Primary Succession

This species can spread extremely quickly and can take over native species. They usually end up hurting the environment.
Invasive species

True/False
Humans are the major cause of extinction to other species
True

Define Keystone species
(Ex. Otters)
The most important species in the environment.

What factors contribute to all Biodiversity?
(Select all that apply)
A. Precipitations
B. Altitude (Above/Below Sea Level)
C. Temperature
D. Species Interactions
It's all of them
500
Why/how does Primary Succession take so much longer to achieve a perfect environment?
The moss and lichens have to create the soil first.
500
Which Biome is better suited for a COLDER environment? Grassland or Savanna?
Grassland.
500
What is an adaptation? Also include an adaptation that would help you in a HOT DESERT.
Answers may vary but close to adjusting or changing to better suited for an environment.
Active at night (nocturnal), drinking a large amount of water, can go long periods without food/water, waxing coating of plants, etc.
