Global systems
Explain how biotic factor influence ecosystems
include fish, predators that eat herons, and other species that compete with them for food or space.
whats the definition of weather
the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
What is a plankton
The small and microscopic organisms drifting or floating in the sea or fresh water, consisting chiefly of diatoms, protozoans, small crustaceans, and the eggs and larval stages of larger animals.
What is a chemosynthesis
What is a food chain
A hierarchical series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food.
Explain how abiotic factor influence ecosystems
Such as water availability and quality, temperature, humidity.
what is climate change
What is Climate Change? Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth's local, regional and global climates.
Explain what a biome is
A biome is a large area characterized by its vegetation, soil, climate, and wildlife.
what is a producer
Plants are producers. They make their own food, which creates energy for them to grow, reproduce and survive.
What is a food web
what is a ecosystem
a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
What is the green house effect
The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat.
what is a aphotic zone
whats the difference between a food wed and a food biome.
Food chains and food webs are easy to get confused since they both show the movement of energy through an ecosystem. While a food chain only shows a singular path, the food web shows how the paths are connected.
Describe the role of energy in an ecosystem and how energy flows.
Pyramids of energy show the relative amount of energy available at each tropic level of a food chain of food web.
What is a biosphere
The regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.
Describe the factors that shape regional climate
The climate of any particular place is influenced by a host of interacting factors. These include latitude, elevation, nearby water, ocean currents, topography, vegetation, and prevailing winds.
What is a intertidal zone
The intertidal zone is the area where the ocean meets the land between high and low tides.
explain what a consumer is?
A consumer in a food chain is a living creature that eats organisms from a different population
Explain the water cycle
Whats the differences between hydrosphere and geosphere.
The geosphere is all of the rock, land and minerals on Earth, and you can remember this because 'geo' means 'ground. ' The hydrosphere is all of the water on Earth, which makes sense since 'hydro' means 'water. ... 'Bio' means 'life,' so all of the living organisms on Earth make up the biosphere.
whats is a regional climate
The climate where you live is called regional climate. It is the average weather in a place over more than thirty years.
What is a humus
A material formed from decaying leaves and other organic matter.
Define producers in describe how they obtain energy
can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use that energy to produce food are called autotrophs, or primary producers.
What is a Ecological pyramid
