Population Sampling
This sampling tool is usually a square frame placed on the ground to count plants.
Quadrats
Living factors in an ecosystem, such as plants and animals, are called these.
Biotic Factors
This Earth sphere includes all living things.
Biosphere
This process changes liquid water into water vapour.
Evaporation
This gas makes up most of Earth’s atmosphere.
Nitrogen
This is a tape measure laid in a straight line across a habitat
Transect
Temperature, light, and water are examples of these factors.
Abiotic Factors
The atmosphere is the Earth’s layer of these.
Gases (or Air)
Water vapour cooling and forming clouds is called this.
The hottest planet in our solar system is this one.
Venus
Quadrats are most suitable for studying organisms that do not move much.
Plants (sessile organisms)
This biotic factor describes organisms competing for the same resources.
Competition
Rocks, soil, and landforms are part of this sphere.
Geosphere/Lithosphere
Rain, snow, and hail all fall to Earth in this process.
Precipitation
This organ pumps blood around the human body.
Heart
Using more quadrats in different locations makes results more reliable because it reduces this.
Bias or Random Error
A drought mainly changes this type of factor in an ecosystem.
Abiotic Factors
Oceans, rivers, ice, and groundwater are all part of this sphere.
Hydrosphere
This process occurs when water soaks into the ground.
Inflitration
The process plants use to make their own food using sunlight is called this.
