What are the two types of seawater?

oscillation waves and translation waves

7

It is the discipline in geography  which studies "the relationship and interplay between the activities of human beings and their geographical environment" 

Human geography

7

It refers to  the physical and chemical conditions in the environment, such as climate, temperature, salinity of water, minerals in the soil. 

Abiotic factors

7

This is a depending factor that regulates the size of populations, and it occurs when cocodriles hunt mamals 

Predation


7

It refers to a set of populations of different species that interact and share a common point in space that is called habitat 

Communities

9

It is the step of the natural water cycle where water becomes gaseous (vapor). Trees and plants are also involved in the cycle, the water rises up the stem and leaves from the roots and turns into vapor by transpiration. 

Evaporation

9

Is the following an abuse of colonialism or a consequence?

Increased geographical exploration trips, as to discover and occupy the geographic areas subject to economic exploitation.

Consequence

9

It refers to any living components in an ecosystem that affect organisms in relationships like competition, commensalism, parasitism predation, and mutualism.

Biotic factors

9

This is a depending factor that regulates the size of populations, and it occurs between organisms that require the same resources, which are limited.

 


Competition

9

It is the place of appropriate conditions for life of an organism, plant or animal species or community 

Habitat

11

It refers to the step of natural water cycle where the part of the rainwater that seeps into the soil and recharges groundwater streams, another part flows into the rivers, and eventually lakes and oceans where the cycle starts all over again

Infiltration

11

It is the auxiliary science of geography that helps us to see the evolution of the human being both biologically and culturally, its religion, language or traditions. 

Anthropoly

11

He was the first scientist to ever use the term of ecology

Ernst Haeckel

11

Mention one of the types of distribution patterns from the emergent propierties of populations

Random, uniform, clumpled or aggregated

11

It is the habitat emergent propierty that  indicates the distribution of organisms on Earth's surface; vary due to changes in topography, altitude and latitude 

Horizontal structure stratification

13

What is the porcentage of waters in:

-Seas and oceans

- Inland/continental waters

-Frozen in glaciers and poles

-Fresh water in rivers, streams, lakes, etc.

-Seas and oceans 97%

- Inland/continental waters 3%

-Frozen in glaciers and poles 2%

-Fresh water in rivers, streams, lakes, etc. 1%

13

Is the following an abuse of colonialism or a consequence?

  • Excessive exploitation of natural and human resources for the colonial powers’ profit.


Abuse

13

It is the branch of ecology that deals with mass and energy flows between organisms and the abiotic components in their environment.

Ecosystem Ecology

13

This is a depending factor that regulates the size of populations, and it occurs when organisms of different species benefit mutually when interacting.

Mutuality

13

Talking about succession dynamics When the disturbance is severe, and communities and even the soil disappear, it is called _____ succession

Prymary

15

Mention one of the 3 seawater propierties

The color of the seawater is usually blue; 

It usually has a higher density than fresh water 

The temperature varies with latitude, depth, seasons and other factors.

15

When a city when a city government wants to know how many cementeries should they build in a long term, which demographic indicators should they refer to? 

Mortality rate

15

He is considered the father of contemporary ecology, who discovered the homeostatic mechanisms of ecosystems; that is, the mechanisms that allow them to stay in balance and the impact that human activities have on them. 

Eugene P. Odum

15

It referst to the external biotic and abiotic elements or populations that cause mortality or inhibit reproduction, such as droughts or floods, predation, or competition with other species. 

Extrinsic Factors

15

It refers to the series of actions to recover all or part of the structure or functioning of a damaged community

Ecological restoration
