Breathing- taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide

a system where the results (output) of an action or process are sent back as new information (input) to adjust or control future actions.

When two or more species influence each other’s evolutionary

Atmospheric Composition

The mixture of gases that make up Earth’s atmosphere (air).

Photosynthetic Organisms

Living things that can make their own food using energy from the sun.

The parts of Earth where life exists that includes land, water and air.

The average weather conditions in a specific place (region) over a long period of time.

The solid parts of Earth, including rocks, minerals, and landforms.

All the water on Earth, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and groundwater.

The layer of gases surrounding Earth that supports life and regulates temperature.

A response or information you get back that helps guide future actions. Both positive and/or negative.

Gases in Earth’s atmosphere that trap heat from the sun near the planet’s surface. Keeps the Earth warm enough to support life

Large, flowing masses of ice formed over many years from compacted snow and ice.

Water from rain or melting snow and ice that flows over the surface of the land into rivers, lakes, and oceans rather than soaking into the ground.

The process by which soil and rock are worn away and transported by wind, water, or ice from one location to another

Water found underground that fills the cracks and spaces in soil, sand and rocks

The amount of water vapor present in the air.

Energy that moves from one place to another in a form called waves or particles, such as sunlight.

Environmental Factors

External elements like temperature, light, and nutrients that affect living organisms.

A natural or human-made event that poses a risk to life, property, or the environment.

The number of individuals of a species living in a specific area
