Definitions
Links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.
What is a Food Web?
Terrestrial biomes and aquatic biomes.
How are biomes are divided into two categories?
The energy pyramid, the biomass pyramid, and the pyramid of numbers.
What are the three types of ecological pyramids?
All organisms on Earth need this to live.
What is water?
Principle gas involved in the process known as the greenhouse effect.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
The specific environment of an organism, both biotic and aboitic.
What is a Habitat?
Earth's largest biome.
What is the marine biome?
Evaporation is a part of the process of transpiration.
How are evaporation and transpiration related?
The rusting of metal is a chemical process that use this substance, which has a cycle to replenish this same substance.
What is oxygen?
The greenhouse effect is under this cycle.
What is the carbon cycle?
The Process by which certain gases (principally water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane) trap heat that would otherwise escape the Earth and radiate into space.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
200 meters
What is the maximum depth light can generally penetrate ocean waters.
Ocean coral reefs, and estuaries.
What are Marine Biomes?
The light shinning on the Earth from the sun warm's the planet; however, the Earth tends to radiate a lot of that light back out into space, this cools the planet. If that's all that happened Earth would be too cold to live on, but because of this concept, life is sustainable.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
Adding too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant.
What is Transpiration?
Up to 98% of marine species live in this ocean zone, which has not been greatly observed.
What is the hadal zone?
Standing water (such as lakes and ponds), running water (such as rivers and streams) and wetlands.
What are freshwater biomes?
The percent of nitrogen gas in the air we breath.
What is 78%?
Violent eruption of the volcano Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines (around 1992) that spread 15 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere.
What is global cooling?
An organism's role in its ecosystem, including its habitat, physical , the time of day it is active, its place on the food chain, and when and how it reproduces.
What is a Niche?
Tens of thousands of different species of aquatic plants and animals inhabit here, to include more than 4,000 species of tropical fish.
What are coral reefs?
Classified mainly by climate, which includes the abiotic factors temperature range and precipitation level.
How are biomes classified?
The only cycle that doesn't cycle through the atmosphere in gaseous form, rather it is found in rocks and soil.
What is the phosphorus cycle?
Powerful El Nino events such as in 1997-1997 & 2015-2016
What is rapid rise in global temperatures?
