Front

What are density-dependent factors?

Back

Factors that affect a population based on its size, including food availability, predation, parasitism, and disease.

Front

What are density-independent factors?

Back

Factors that affect a population regardless of its size, such as natural disasters and climate.

Front

What contributes to the unequal warming of Earth?

Back

I. Variation in the angle of sunlight that reaches Earth. II. Variation in the amount of surface area over which the Sun's rays are distributed.

Front

What occurs during normal conditions off the coast of Peru?

Back

Upwelling occurs, bringing nutrient-rich waters to the surface.

Front

What is Type II survivorship?

What is a common environmental impact of deforestation?

Back

Loss of habitat for wildlife.

Front

Define upwelling.

Back

The process where deep, cold, nutrient-rich water rises to the surface, often supporting marine life.

Front

What is the significance of the angle of sunlight on Earth's climate?

Back

It affects the intensity and distribution of solar energy, leading to temperature variations.

Front

What is the role of predation in population dynamics?

Back

Predation can regulate population sizes and influence community structure.

Front

Explain the concept of carrying capacity.

Back

The maximum population size that an environment can sustain indefinitely without degrading.
