| What are different types of non-living factors?(3) | • Change in rainfall • Change in temperature • Change in air and water pollution |
| What are the three main ways populations can change? | • Population increases • Population decreases • Population distribution changes |
| Give an example of how population size could increase. | Number of prey increases-more food for predators-higher survival so more predator numbers increase too |
| Give an example of how Population can decrease. | Number of prey decreases-less food for predators-lower survival because no food-predator numbers decrease |
| Give an example of how population distribution can change. | A rise in temperature causes species from different environments to inhabit the area |
