Unit 1
This is the name of the concept that only a certain amount of available energy (or biomass) is transferred between each trophic level.
What is the 10% Rule?
This is the number of different species living in a certain area.
What is species richness?
This image represents a country with what type of growth rate?
What is low or no growth?
These are the three types of tectonic plate boundaries.
What are convergent, divergent, and transform?
Differences in these two things are how we classify biomes.
What are temperature and precipitation?
If a pond was sampled several years in a row, a decrease in what measurement would indicate that the pond was adversely affected by an adjacent development?
What is biodiversity?
This type of strategist tends to have longer lifespans, less offspring, and higher levels of parental care.
What are K-Selected species?
Soil formation occurs when parent material is...
What is weathered, transported, and deposited.
This cycle is responsible for shaping and forming Earth's landscape.
What is the hydrological cycle?
In North America, native pollinators often increase the quantity and quality of crops of native plants that are insect pollinated more effectively than European honeybees do. The most likely reason for the phenomenon is that native pollinators have done what with native plant species?
What is coevolved?
This is the MOST influential thing a country can do to improve the quality of life for its citizens.
What is educate women and girls?
This tool can help you determine what kind of soil you have.
What is the soil triangle?
This concept is responsible for populations and ecosystems being able to survive and rebound after disease or natural disaster.
What is biodiversity?
There is an inverse relationship between these two concepts as you move *away* from the equator.
What is species diversity and environmental stress (or stressors)?
A major ecological effect of population overshoot is dieback of the population - often severe to catastrophic - due to lack of resources. This is caused by an ecosystem existing beyond its what without correcting?
What is carrying capacity?
This is the innermost layer of the atmosphere.
What is the troposhpere?
Wolves hunt during the day, and coyotes hunt on the same land but at night. This is an example of what concept?
What is resource partitioning?
This is the evolutionary process of modification that improves the likelihood of survival and reproductive success.
What is natural selection?
This is what you would use to calculate a population's doubling time.
What is the Rule of 70?
This is the "reason for the season"
What is axial tilt?
