Animals
Give an example of a Amphibian that lives in the Rainforest
Frogs, Poison Dart Toad etc.
How do pine trees survive in cold, mountain habitats?
They have special needle-like leaves with a waxy coating that help them survive the cold temperatures and prevent water loss.
Why are there not many trees in the grassland?
Answer: The climate is too dry
What makes a rainbow appear in the sky?
The sun shining on water droplets.
Name one way we can help protect our environment and animal habitats.
We can reduce plastic usage, plant trees, or keep water sources clean.
A living things home is called a: ?
Habitat
Why do plants in a rainforest often have big leaves?
Rainforests have many tall trees, so plants on the forest floor grow big leaves to catch the sunlight that makes it through the upper leaves.
What is Happening to the Climate?
The Earth is getting warmer, mainly because humans are adding extra greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, to the air.
What is the water that falls from the sky called?
Rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
What is the biggest threat to wildlife today?
Loss of habitat (when their homes are destroyed).
What are the four basic things an animal needs from its habitat to survive?
Food, Water, Shelter and Space.
What kind of plant has special parts to survive in the desert?
A cactus! It has tough skin to keep water inside and sharp spikes to stop animals from eating it.
Why is it important to talk to grown-ups, friends, and teachers about climate change?
More people know the problem, the more people can work together to fix it.
Why is the sky blue/clouds white?
The sky is blue because tiny air molecules scatter short-wavelength blue light more than other colors (Rayleigh scattering), while clouds are white because their larger water droplets scatter all colors of sunlight equally, mixing back into white
How do we stay safe from an avalanche?
Staying safe from avalanches involves ** education, ** proper gear, ** smart terrain choices, and ** vigilant group practice, focusing on avoiding danger zones like steep, treeless slopes, and knowing how to use essential tools like beacons, shovels, and probes, while always traveling with a partner and staying informed on current avalanche conditions.
Where does a polar bear live?
Polar bears live in the Arctic region, inhabiting the sea ice that surrounds the Arctic Ocean.
Which habitat is known for being warm, wet, and having the highest number of trees and biodiversity?
The Rainforest
What is the difference between weather and climate?
The main difference between weather and climate is the measurement of time. Weather describes short-term conditions, while climate describes long-term averages. A common way to remember this is: "Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get".
What Causes Lighting?
Lightning is caused by the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within storm clouds, creating a massive electrical imbalance that discharges as a giant spark when the air's insulation breaks down, either within the cloud, between clouds, or to the ground. This charge separation happens as ice crystals and water droplets collide in the turbulent air, with lighter, positive charges rising to the top and heavier, negative charges settling at the cloud's base, while the ground below becomes positively charged.
Why is cutting trees a bad thing to do for nature?
Cutting trees is bad for nature because it causes climate change (releasing stored carbon & reducing absorption), destroys habitats for countless species, worsens soil erosion, disrupts water cycles, and increases risks of flooding and new diseases.
Where do lions live? Grassland or desert?
Grassland (Savanna)
Why can't a plant from one habitat always live in a different habitat?
Plants have special features, called adaptations, that help them live in their specific habitat. A water lily couldn't live in the desert because it needs to float on water all the time.
What is a Thicker Blanket?
A Thicker Blanket: When we burn fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and gas) for electricity, cars, and factories, we add more of these gases, making the blanket thicker. A thicker blanket traps too much heat, making the whole planet warmer, just like a greenhouse for plants.
A waterspout is a rotating column of air that forms over water, essentially a type of tornado over a body of water, while an avalanche is a rapid, downslope movement of a large mass of snow and ice. These two phenomena are distinct natural hazards with no direct relation.
How do you stay safe during a thunderstorm?
Thunderstorm Safety
Thunderstorms primarily pose risks from lightning, flash flooding, and strong winds. The core principle is "When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!" [1].
