The Biome King
Attaching to animals, carried by winds and waves and fruits, passing through a digestive system are great examples of this.
What is seed dispersal mechanism?
These volcanoes have gentle slopes, fluid lava, not explosive and are found on Hawaiian islands
What are shield volcanoes?
Cooling of molten rock (magma and lava), the compaction and cementing of sand, gravel and clay and the “cooking” of rocks through intense heat and pressure describe this
What are rock forming processes?
Liquid (or molten) iron makes up this part of the Earth
What is the outer core?
This is the specific role that an organism has in an ecosystem
What is a niche?
Wildfires, storms and logging are usually followed by this
What is secondary succession?
These volcanoes are cone shaped and steep sided. They are known for being explosive and violent
What are composite volcanoes?
This type of rock typically forms at the bottoms of the Ocean
The difference between these is that ____ is more dense than ____
What is Oceanic crust and Continental crust?
The supercontinent that existed before continental drift
What is Pangea?
These describe the distribution of biomes on Earth
What are climate types?
These kind of volcanoes have shorter lives, are small and made of loose cinder
What are cinder cones?
Basalt, rhyolite and andesite these types of igneous rocks
What is extrusive?
This is known as a strike-slip fault when plates slide parallel to each other
What is a transform fault?
This describes the transition between two biomes
What is ecotone?
This ecosystem surrounds the Mt. SAC campus.
Hawaiian islands are largely associated with these
What are hot spots, black basalt and shield volcanoes?
These igneous rocks are composed of relatively larger, coarser grained crystals
What are intrusive?
High mountains are a result of this
What is a continental-continental convergent boundary?
This is an individual crystal-like structures that make rocks
Greenland and Antartica are two examples of this
What are continental glaciers?
These volcanoes are mono craters, thick, with viscous lava and create bulges
What are plug domes?
Breccia, Sandstone and Shale are all this type of rock.
What is Clastic sedimentary?
This can describe the mid-ocean ridges
What is sea-floor spreading?
This is the compresion that causes Earth's layers to bend over time
What is folding?
