What is biodiversity?
This term describes the gradual change in plant and animal communities in an ecosystem over time.
What is Ecological Succession?
This gas, produced when we burn fossil fuels, is the most well-known contributor to the greenhouse effect.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
This lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere is where weather occurs and where humans live.
What is the troposphere?
What is one song Mr.Clark has played in class?
Teacher will determine answers
This level of biodiversity refers to the variety of different species living within a specific ecosystem.
What is Species Diversity?

Name one greenhouse gas other than Carbon Dioxide.
Teacher will look at answers
What do we breathe in and then breathe out.
What is Oxygen and then Carbon Dioxide?
What is my biggest pet peeve in the classroom?
Teacher will determine answers
this term describes a species that is found naturally in only one geographic location

This type of succession happens after a disturbance like a forest fire, where soil already remains.

What is the greenhouse effect?
This climate pattern occurs when unusually warm ocean water develops in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
What is El Nino?
What state was I born and raised?
What is Florida?
What impact do invasive species have on ecosystems.
They out compete native species, and reproduce quicker then native species, and usually have a devastating impact on local biodiversity?
These hardy organisms, often lichens or mosses, are the first species to colonize barren environments during primary succession.
What is Pioneer Species?
Is the greenhouse effect a good thing or a bad thing tell me why.
Teacher will look at answers.
This climate event is the opposite of El Niño and happens when Pacific Ocean waters become cooler than normal.
What is La Nina?

What is (FAMU) Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University?
This ecosystem, found near the equator, contains more biodiversity than any other terrestrial biome.
What is the Rainforest biome?
As succession continues, ecosystems may reach this relatively stable final stage of community development.
What is Climax Community?
What will happen to Earth if greenhouse gases continue to increase.
Polar ice caps melts
Harsher Storms
Flooding
Animals will be affected
How do volcanic eruptions affect the atmosphere.
What is they cool down the atmosphere?
