Biomes
These animals are typically small, often nocturnal, have small surface areas, spend time underground where it is cooler
Desert
this makes up 78% of the atmosphere
Nitrogen
A reduction in food supply leading to fewer offspring, contagious diseases, predatory prey relationships. Is these Density Dependent or Independent?
Dependent
When two plates collide forming mountain ranges but ultimately one plate slides under the other.
Convergence
This type of irrigation methods requires precise installation, set up costs are high, constant maintenance BUT very efficient and minimizes water loss.
Drip Irrigation
This biome has a large diversity of species, precipitation throughout the year exceeding 80inches and warm temperatures vary through the year.
Rainforests
This is formed from nitrogen fixing bacteria or through decomposers
Ammonium
When calculating the doubling time what number is used in the numerator when dividing it by the % change?
70
This Horizon layer (letter) is filled with leaves, decomposing debris.
O horizon
DDT
Soil is enriched with decaying litter made from leaves and other plant material. Animals include squirrel, rabbits, deer, mountain lions.
Temperate Deciduous forest
This cycle includes words like Condensation, evaporation, infiltration.
Water Cycle
When calculating Population change, what two factors are used to describe the increase in population?
Birth rates and Immigrants
Very fine particles, low permeability, used in art.
Clay.
The major greenhouse pollutant released from CAFOs
Methane
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations
Located in the northern hemisphere. Thin, shallow, easily compacted, nutrient poor soils. A layer of permanently frozen subsoil called permafrost.
Tundra
Excessive amounts of this nutrients can lead to eutrophication, soil degradation, overall nutrient loss in soil.
Nitrogen
Droughts, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis is what type of limiting factor? Independent or Dependent?
Independent
In the southern hemisphere wind spins in this direction
Counter Clockwise
This mining technique involves the extraction of rock and minerals by removal of the entire area is necessary.
Open Pit Mining
This biome is home to zebras, lions, hyenas, and elephants
Savanna / Grasslands
This element is a building block of life, but is usually found within rocks and exposed during mining activities or construction
Phosphorus
True or false, USE age structure diagram looks like a pyramid?
False
the tilt of the earth's axis
23.5
The greatest threat to the success of a species is
Habitat Loss
