BIOMES
WOLVES, FOXES, AND COYOTES ARE FOUND THIS BIOME?
NAME THE 3 TYPES OF SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS
MUTUALISM, COMMENSALISM, PARASITISM
WHAT IS PRECIPITATION?
RAIN, SLEET, SNOW, HAIL
NAME A GREENHOUSE GAS
carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and ozone
WHAT TYPE OF ROCK IS CREATED BY MELTING, MAGMA AND SOLIDIFICATION?
IGNEOUS ROCK
WTHIS BIOME HAS MANY ANIMALS THAT ARE NOCTURNAL (ACTIVE AT NIGHT)?
DESERT
DUTCH ELM DISEASE IS CAUSED BY A FUNGUS THAT ATTACKS ELM TREES, GROWING AND FEEDING ON THE TREE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ELM TREE IS OFTEN SEVERELY AFFECTED BY THE DISEASE.
PARASITISM
WHAT IS CONDENSATION?
WATER VAPOR IN THE CLOUDS
COAL, OIL, NATURAL GAS
WHAT PROCESS CAUSES A SEDIMENTARY ROCK TO A METAMORPHIC ROCK?
HEAT AND PRESSURE
WHICH BIOME DO TN RESIDENTS LINE IN?
DECIDEOUS FOREST
SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL MITES CAN LIVE ON YOUR SKIN. THE MITES EAT DEAD SKIN CELLS, HELPING TO SLOUGH THESE UNWANTED SKIN CELLS FROM YOUR BODY. YOU DONT EVEN NOTICE THE MITES.
COMMENSALISM
WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP OF THE WATER CYCLE?
EVAPORATION
WHAT IS THE MOST POTENT (TOXIC) GREENHOUSE GAS?
METHANE
WHAT PROCESS CAUSES AND IGNEOUS ROCK TO TURN BACK INTO SEDIMENTS?
WEATHERING AND EROSION
THIS BIOME IS COVERED WITH CONE-BEARING TREES THAT HAVE NEEDLES INSTEAD OF LEAVES
TAIGA
PLANTS GROW FLOWERS WHICH PRODUCE NECTAR AND BEES USE THIS NECTAR FOR FOOD. WHEN BEES CONSUME NECTAR FROM THE PLANT'S FLOWERS THEY ALSO UNKNOWINGLY PICK UP POLLEN. THE BEES HELP TO SPREAD THE POLLEN TO OTHER FLOWERS, ALLOWING THE PLANTS TO REPRODUCE.
MUTUALISM
WHAT ENERGY SOURCE POWERS RUNOFF?
GRAVITY
WHEN THE SUN'S HEAT ENERGY REACHES EARTH, ONLY SOME IS RADIATED INTO SPACE. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE REST OF THE HEAT ENERGY?
CAN AN IGNEOUS ROCK BECOME ANOTHER IGNEOUS ROCK? WHY OR WHY NOT?
YES, BY MELTING INTO MAGMA AND THEN COOLING AGAIN
THIS BIOME COVERS LESS THAN 10% OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE
RAINFOREST
ORCHIDS ARE A UNIQUE TYPE OF PLANT THAT GROWS ON TREE BRANCHES. THE ORCHIDS RECEIVE LIGHT MORE EASILY BY GROWING ON THE TREE, AND THEIR ROOTS ALSO GET WATER FROM THE TREE. THE TREE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE ORCHIDS.
COMMENSALISM
WHAT IS THE CORRECT ORDER OF THE WATER CYCLE?
1.EVAPORATION, 2.CONDENSATION, 3.PRECIPITATION, 4.RUNOFF, 5.INFILTRATION, 6.TRANSPIRATION
WHAT IS THE LONG-TERM INCREASE OF EARTHS AVERAGE TEMPERATURE?
GLOBAL WARMING
WHAT IS THE ORDER OF THE ROCK CYCLE?
1.SEDIMENTS, 2.SEDIMENTARY, 3.METAMORPHIC, 4.MAGMA, 5.IGNEOUS ROCK
