Disruptive events
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the number and variety of organisms in an ecosystem | Biodiversity |
| resources that can not be easily replenished | Nonrenewable resource |
| resources that can be easily replenished | Renewable resource |
| the destruction of forest lands | Deforestation |
| the wise use and preservation of natural resources | Conservation |
| Reduce, reuse, recycle | 3 Rs of Conservation |
| an increase of individuals in a certain area that causes an increase in competition and a depletion of natural resources | Overpopulation |
| a nonnative species that invades an area and disrupts the natural ecosystem and harms the native species | Invasive species |
| events that can cause an ecosystem to change suddenly and sometimes drastically in a short period of time(fire, storm, volcanic activity) | Disruptive event |
| is a process of predictable change that occurs in the mix and abundance of species present in an ecosystem over time. | Succession |
| Garbage, Chemicals, High Powered wastes, Gases, Noise | Types of Pollution |
| the recovery of materials from waste | Recycling |
| Can be a source of pollution | Noise |
| An example of a nonrenewable resource | Fossil Fuels |
| NOT a strategy to protect the environment | Pesticides |
| A way to prevent pollution; The preservation and wise use of natural resources | Conservation |
| Why should we prevent habitat destruction? | The presence of organisms could be lost if habitats were destroyed |
| Species that make a home for themselves in a new place and harm the native species; A species that is non native to an ecosystem and often disrupts an ecosystem. Renewable resource a natural resource that can be replaced as quickly as it is used. | Invasive species |
| a natural resource that can be replaced as quickly as it is used. | Renewable resource |
| A way to our need for fossil fuels | Alternative energy sources |
| An example of habitat destruction | Clearing tropical rain forests |
| A process of predictable change that occurs in the mix and abundance of species present in an ecosystem over time. Replacement of one type of community by another over time. | succession |
| A natural resource that forms at a rate slower than the rate at which it is consumed. | Nonrewable resource |
| Can cause an ecosystem to change suddenly and sometimes drastically in a short period of time(fire, storm, volcanic activity) | Disruptive Event |
| The process of recovering valuable or useful materials from waste or scrap | Recycling |
| The type of succession that begins in an area where soil already existed; Community growing in an area affected by a disturbance. | Secondary succession |
| Lichen is an example of this type of species. The first to appear in primary succession | Pioneer species |
| Community growing in an area where organisms have never lived before. | Primary Succession |
| Well-adapted species in a mature community. | Climax species |
| Where primary succession begins. | Bare rock |
