Explain how biotic factor influence ecosystems

include fish, predators that eat herons, and other species that compete with them for food or space. 

100

whats the definition of weather

the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.

100

What is a plankton 

The small and microscopic organisms drifting or floating in the sea or fresh water, consisting chiefly of diatoms, protozoans, small crustaceans, and the eggs and larval stages of larger animals.

100

What is a chemosynthesis

The synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight.


100

What is a food chain

A hierarchical series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food.

200

Explain how abiotic factor influence ecosystems

Such as water availability and quality, temperature, humidity. 

200

what is climate change

What is Climate Change? Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth's local, regional and global climates.

200

Explain what a biome is

A biome is a large area characterized by its vegetation, soil, climate, and wildlife.

200

what is a producer

Plants are producers. They make their own food, which creates energy for them to grow, reproduce and survive.

200

What is a food web

A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains.


300

what is a ecosystem

a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.

300

What is the green house effect

The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat.

300

what is a aphotic zone


The bottommost, or aphotic, zone is the region of perpetual darkness that lies beneath the photic zone and includes most of the ocean waters.



300

whats the difference between a food wed and a food biome.

Food chains and food webs are easy to get confused since they both show the movement of energy through an ecosystem. While a food chain only shows a singular path, the food web shows how the paths are connected.

300

Describe the role of energy in an ecosystem and how energy flows.

Pyramids of energy show the relative amount of energy available at each tropic level of a food chain of food web. 

400

What is a biosphere 

The regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.

400

Describe the factors that shape regional climate  

The climate of any particular place is influenced by a host of interacting factors. These include latitude, elevation, nearby water, ocean currents, topography, vegetation, and prevailing winds.

400

What is a intertidal zone

The intertidal zone is the area where the ocean meets the land between high and low tides.

400

explain what a consumer is?

A consumer in a food chain is a living creature that eats organisms from a different population

400

Explain the water cycle

The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.


500

Whats the differences between hydrosphere and geosphere.

The geosphere is all of the rock, land and minerals on Earth, and you can remember this because 'geo' means 'ground. ' The hydrosphere is all of the water on Earth, which makes sense since 'hydro' means 'water. ... 'Bio' means 'life,' so all of the living organisms on Earth make up the biosphere.

500

whats is a regional climate

The climate where you live is called regional climate. It is the average weather in a place over more than thirty years.

500

What is a humus

A material formed from decaying leaves and other organic matter. 

500

Define producers in describe how they obtain energy

can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use that energy to produce food are called autotrophs, or primary producers.

500

What is a Ecological pyramid

An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of the relationship between the different living organisms at different trophic levels.
