factors that affect a population depending on its size​

• Density-Dependent factor

• Density-Independent factors

affect all populations similarly regardless of population size.​ Examples include: natural disasters, rapid climate changes (drought or floods), and human activity and disturbances ​

• Density-Dependent factors

• Density-Independent factors

What is the difference between biotic and abiotic?

• Biotic are non-living things

• Abiotic are living organisms

• Biotic is life,
  Abiotic is non-living

• Biotic is non-living, Abiotic is living

What does biodiversity mean?

• Only one species in an area.

• The different amount of species in an area

• All abiotic life

• Nitrogen fixation

What is condensation?

• The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.

• The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

• The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
