| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| all the living and nonliving things that surround you, all parts affect each other. Larger than an ecosystem. (school) | Environment 🗑 |
| people, animals, and plants | Living Things 🗑 |
| includes water, air, soil, and weather | Non-living 🗑 |
| all the living and nonliving things in an area, can be very small. | Ecosystem |
| temperature and rainfall in an area, averaged OVER MANY YEARS | Climate |
| one plant or animal | Individual 🗑 |
| a group made up of the same kind of individuals. Example: bees in a beehive, herd of cattle, flock of geese | Population 🗑 |
| made up of all the populations that live in the same place and depend on each other. | Community 🗑 |
| living parts of an ecosystem. Examples: trees, insects, people | Biotic 🗑 |
| non-living parts of an ecosystem. Examples: sunlight, air, water, soil, climate | Abiotic 🗑 |
| has four seasons, trees lose their leave | Deciduous forests 🗑 |
| gets 7 to 33 feet of rain a year, near the equator | Rain Forests 🗑 |
| the climate here is nearly the same all year | Grassy Savannas 🗑 |
| gets only 10 inches of rain a year | Deserts 🗑 |
| the LARGEST ECOSYSTEM on Earth, it gets very cold in the winter | Taiga 🗑 |
| This is a TREELESS PLAIN ,it has the coldest climate, 40 degrees F to 64 degrees F | Tundra |
| the number of different kinds of living things, the Rain Forest is at the top of this list and the Tundra is at the bottom of the list. | Diversity |
| the parts of ecosystems that humans use. | Natural Resources |
| resources that can't be replaced, such as coal, oil, gas, and minerals | Non-renewable Resources |
| a non renewable natural resource that produces electricity | Coal |
| non renewable natural resources such as iron, copper, and aluminum | Minerals |
| resources that can be replaced or that don't run out. Examples are sunlight, air, water, and trees | Renewable Resources |
| when harmful substances (things) mix with water, air or soil | Pollution |
| returning a natural environment to its original condition | Habitat Restoration |
| *Plant new trees/create new wetlands *build parks over closed landfills (habitat restoration) *less pollution *recycling paper, glass, metal,and plastic | Positive Human Changes to Ecosystems |
| *People clear land for houses and malls. *Animals move or die. *Plowing fields loosens soil and causes erosion. *Chemicals, trash, etc. enter water supply | Negative Human Changes to Ecosystems |
