Biomes
An Arctic region biome.
Tundra
Reusing materials to minimise environmental impacts.
Recycling
Horizontal Parallels measured north and south from the Equator.
Latitude
Gases emitted into the atmosphere by agricultural processes.
Greenhouse Gases
Kalgoorlie in Western Australia is a famous location for this practice.
Mining
Typically used for grazing and agriculture.
Grasslands
Solar, Wind, Biomass, and Hydroelectric are these.
Renewable Resources
Prime Meridian/Greenwich Meridian
Lack of vegetation depletes conversion of carbon dioxide to this.
Oxygen
The process of removing large expanses of vegetation to make room for agriculture.
Deforestation
This biome houses the widest variety of flora and fauna.
Tropical Rainforests
The number of worlds needed if everyone lived as current citizens of the USA.
Four
The area between 23°N and 23°S, known for its hot, humid climate and lush forests.
The Tropics (Between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn)
Land becoming unusable through excessive run-off, harsh climates or animal interference.
Soil degredation
Cane Toad introduction in far north Queensland to combat pests changed the ecosystem for the worse.
Invasive Species
A biome that has limited access to nutrients or minerals due to extreme weather patterns and sparse vegetation.
Desert
Limited water supply can affect agricultural yields.
Water Scarcity
The long-term pattern of weather in a particular area or region, measured using Synoptic Charts.
Climate
Free living micro-organisms that can invade both animal and plant life, spreading disease.
Bacteria
Air pollution, water pollution and other waste products made by humans all have a negative impact on the world's atmosphere and ecosystems.
Climate Change
A colder biome with coniferous trees, but limited soil quality.
Boreal Forest
Considered agricultural practices such as proper irrigation, land management and crop selection can lead to this.
Increased yields
The lines on a topographic maps that indicate elevation.
Contours
Extreme weather cycles, identified by changing seasons of excessive drought and excessive rain.
El Niño/La Niña cycle
Using animal and plant breeding to selectively develop particular characteristics suited for specific regions.
Selective Breeding
