The Core
During the Paleozoic Era, all the continents where stuck together forming a super continent called (a)
Abiotic factors are any living components in an ecosystem that have any kind of exchange with others.
True
False
He was the first to make a classification of species (taxonomy)
Eugene P. Odum
Carolus Linnaeus
Ernst Haeckel
Charles Darwin
Draw a multicellular organism that obtains its food through photosynthesis
What's the second step of the scientific method?
Experiment
Make Conclusions
Observe and measure phenomena
Formulate a Hypothesis
The research into the layers’ structure of Earth is carried out mainly through the study of the seismic waves propagation. Which of these is the classification of the Earth's layers?
The crust, lithosphere, mantle, outer core, inner core
Epipelagic zone, mesopelagic zone, bathypelagic zone, abyssopelagic zone, hadalpelagic zone
The core, radioactive zone, convective zone, photosphere, chromosphere
According to the way it obtains food, the organism in the picture can be considered
Autotroph
Heterotroph
Decomposer
Producer
Natural resources that regenerate themselves, and have no extinction risk (like solar light & geothermic energy)
Renewable
Permanent
Non-renewable
Kingdoms that include organisms that are multicellular AND heterotrophic
Plantae
Animalia
Monera
Fungi
The variety of organisms that exist in the same population & the genetic inheritance given by a certain species are examples of:
Population diversity & Genetic diversity
Species diversity & Ecosystem diversity
Animal diversity & Genes diversity
Is the degradation of arid lands, semi-arid and dry and sub-humid areas, originated by climate changes and human activities such as agriculture, grazing, logging and lack of water
Volcanism
Seismicity
Desertification
Soil pollution
Air pollution is one of the most dangerous since it generates great environmental problems at a global level. In particular, there're some dangerous substances that are formed in the atmosphere when a primary pollutant reacts with a natural component or with other pollutants, mostly induced by solar radiation
Secondary pollutants
Primary pollutants
CO2
Natural pollutants
What's the best description for natural reserves?
Terrestrial and marine areas of a country that are specifically destined to the protection of life and its natural and cultural resources
Alternative uses for the preservation and sustainability of natural resources management
A series of practices aimed to the restoration of the structure and operation of the affected ecosystems
According to the way they obtain food, the organisms in the picture can be considered
Autotrophs
Decomposers
Heterotrophs
Consumers
When solar radiation reaches the atmosphere, a great part is reflected to space, another part is absorbed and another reaches the surface, maintaining a stable temperature on Earth. This is a natural phenomenon that contributes to maintain our planet hot. It is called:
Greenhouse effect
Coriolis effect
Acid raid
Climate change
What's the purpose of the Richter scale?
It measures an earthquake's magnitude
It measures an earthquake's intensity
It measures a volcano's magnitude
It measures the effects and damage caused to different kinds of structures
The atmosphere's made up of 5 layers. What are the names of the layers that contain the ozone layer and the one where almost all atmospheric phenomena occur (rains, hurricanes, winds, etc.) and has about 80% of the atmospheric gas?
Stratosphere & Troposphere
Mesosphere & Exosphere
This climate zone is located where the Equator crosses. In there, the solar rays hit vertically the Earth’s surface, causing high temperatures along all the year.
Temperate zones
Polar zones
Torrid zone
The alternating patterns of rising and falling of sea levels produced mainly by the forces of gravitational attraction exerted by the Sun and the Moon on the Earth are called:
Waves
Tides
Ocean currents
Names of the Sun's layers missing from the picture
Core
Mantle
Corona
Crust
Ecology studies the levels of organization of living beings. In the picture we have an example of:
Community
Individual
Population
Biosphere
Which of these options describes better the term community?
Group of organisms of the same species occupying a given area and performing genes exchange
Set of populations of different species that interact and share a common point in space that is called habitat.
Place of appropriate conditions for the life of an organism (plant or animal species)
Group of organisms (biocenosis) which vital processes relate to each other and develop according to the physical factors in the same environment (biotope)
Draw a component of the solar system
Which option is the best description of trophic levels?
Number of times in which energy passes from one organism to another
Energy amount accumulated within living beings from an ecosystem. Includes the energy acquired from food and the matter they gather as a population
Is the fundamental chemical element in the photosynthesis and respiration processes.
Floods, Natural disasters, Interspecific competition and Predation are intrinsic (internal) factors that regulate population growth
True
False
Which of the following best describes the location of the mantle?
Between the crust and the lithosphere
Beneath the core
Above the crust
Between the crust and the core
The movement Earth makes around the polar axis following a west to east direction, and whose exact duration is adjusted to 24 hours, is called:
Revolution
Precession
Equator
Rotation
Draw an organism that belongs to the kingdom Animalia (make it christmas-y)
