Principles of Habitat Conservation and Management

Habitats and Ecosystems

100

Habitats require COVER for protection from...?

THE ELEMENTS

200

Soil erosion is prevented by...

Rooted plants

300

This is a service that provides food, water, oil, and gas.

PROVISIONAL SERVICE

400

This is the placement of each habitat factor, which is ideal for the organism. For example, a pond being in the very center of a habitat. 

ARRANGEMENT

500

Supporting services maintain conditions of the ENTIRE Earth as a whole. Which of the following is NOT a supporting service?

-pollination

-predation

-photosynthesis

-The water cycle

Predation

This is a REGULATING service

Threats to Habitats

100

Name the THREE types of habitat loss

FRAGMENTATION

DEGRADATION

DESTRUCTION

200

This is the mass expansion of urban areas which consequently destroys the surrounding environment. 

URBAN SPRAWL

300

Deforestation for the purpose of building a shopping center would be an example of _________.

HABITAT DESTRUCTION

400

Habitats separated by roads, bridges, cities, and human development are an example of 

HABITAT FRAGMENTATION

500

Habitat degradation affects the quality of a habitat. In general, habitats are degraded as a result of ___________.

POLLUTION

Marine Habitats

100

Marine habitats cover this percent of the Earth's surface

70%

200

This zone supports diverse life because it has stable levels of light, salinity, pressure, temperature, and other vital nutrients. 

NERITIC ZONE

300

This oceanic zone receives the most sunlight

Epipelagic zone

400

This zone contains the majority of water in the ocean

Bathypelagic zone

500

The neritic zone is rich in this nutrient that coral and crustaceans, such as crabs and lobsters need for formation

CALCIUM

Freshwater Habitats

100

This freshwater habitat acts as a transition area between water and land

Wetlands

200

This is a mass or river of ice formed by compressed snow and ice

GLACIER

300

99% of freshwater on Earth is trapped in _____ and _________.

Glaciers and underground aquifers

400

Which wetland habitat is very acidic and has poorly oxygenated water due to having clay soil that does not allow water to seep into the ground?

BOGS

500

A body of water formed by multiple intersecting streams that deepen and widen, then flow into oceans or lakes would be classified as a __________

RIVER

Terrestrial Habitats

100

This is the most diverse habitat in the world.

TROPICAL RAINFOREST

200

This habitat has short, mild summers that last about 2 months. 

TUNDRA

300

This biome receives less than 10 inches of rainfall per year.

DESERT

400

The mammals that live and survive in tundra require this, such as a thick layer of fat or thick fur. 

INSULATION

500

This terrestrial habitat can be found everywhere except Antarctica
