How does noise pollution affect animals?
It stresses the animals, can cause changes in migration routes, damage hearing, and can mask sounds used to communicate or hunt
300
Two organisms of different species working together benefiting from the relationship
What is mutualism
300
Why does a large island have a higher diversity than a small island?
There will be a wider variety of habitats for species to fill up, which can support a larger population
300
What type of shape is this graph showing?
What is J-shape
300
Why is the ozone important and wherein the atmosphere is found?
The ozone is important because it absorbs UV radiation and is found in the stratosphere

Come up with an experiment and give me an independent variable, dependent variable, and a control variable
Independent variable - What is being manipulated by the experimenter
Dependent variable - The response of what is being measured
Control variable - Factors that are kept the same across the experiment
500
What is the difference between r-species and K-selected species? Give an example of each r and K species and why they are r and K species?
r-species are generalized, short life span, large numbers, can live anywhere, fast maturation and K-selected species are specialized, slow maturation, long life span, specialized where they can live, small numbers of offsprings.
Ex: Raccon r-species can live anywhere since they can eat anything
K-selected species Panda can only live in South Central China where there is bamboo (Only thing they can eat)
500
Name each layer
Topsoil, Subsoil, Parent Rock, Bedrock

How does thermal inversion occur? Why is this bad?
Cooler air and warm air flip, Earth surface is cooler than air at higher altitudes. The hot air traps pollution on the surface of the Earth. This is bad because pollution is traped to the ground which is bad for us.
