What is climate?
the condition of the atmosphere at any given time and place
cloud cover and temperature
precipitation and humidity at a given time and place
weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
The Earth’s polar zones are cold because
they are never heated by the sun
at the poles the suns rays are at a very low angle
the greenhouse effect does not occur at the poles
heat is transported from the poles to the equator.
The upward movement of warm air and the
downward movement of cool air creates
upwellings.
air currents.
ocean currents.
the greenhouse effect.
Earth's temperature range is maintained by
the greenhouse effect.
climate zones.
ocean currents and winds.
latitude differences.
Variation of temperature in the temperate zone is
due primarily to
air and ocean currents.
the greenhouse effect.
variation in the sun’s energy production.
latitude and season.
The tropical zone is warm all year long because
the sun’s angle changes the most in that
part of Earth.
ocean water is warmest near the equator.
it receives direct or nearly direct sunlight
year-round.
landmasses in the tropic latitudes hold on to
heat.
An organism’s niche is different from its habitat
because
The niche does not include the place where
the organism lives.
the niche includes all the conditions under
which the organism lives.
the niche includes only abiotic factors.
the niche includes only biotic factors.
The attempt by organisms of the same or
different species to use a resource at the same
time in the same place is called
predation.
competition.
symbiosis.
cooperation.
An association between two species in which
one species benefits and the other is neither
helped nor harmed is called
symbiosis.
mutualism.
commensalism.
parasitism.
When a volcano erupts and completely destroys
an ecosystem, the first species to populate the
area are usually
grasses and shrubs.
pioneers such as lichens.
small plants such as mosses.
small animals such as rodents.
When the climate in a small region of a biome is
different from the overall climate of the biome,
the region’s climate is called
tolerance.
a harsher climate.
a microclimate.
a local variation.
The ability of an organism to survive under
conditions that differ from its optimal condition is
called
niche.
tolerance.
variation.
succession.
single species that is not usually abundant in a community yet exerts strong control on the structure of a community
niche
resource
competitive exclusionary principle
keystone species
area where an organism lives including the biotic and abiotic factors that affect it
herbivory
tolerance
habitat
predation
full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions
niche
herbivory
resource
keystone species
any necessity of life, such as water, nutrients, light, food, or space
resource
keystone species
herbivory
symbiosis
interaction in which one organism (the predator) captures and feeds on another organism (the prey)
predation
herbivory
habitat
tolerance
relationship in which two species live close together
herbivory
symbiosis
keystone species
recourse
ability of an organism to survive and reproduce under circumstances that differ from their optimal conditions
tolerance
predation
resource
habitat
a symbiotic relationship in which one organism lives on or inside another organism and harms it
mutualism
commensalism
parasitism
herbivory
principle that states that no two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time
niche
keystone species
competitive exclusionary principle
herbivory
symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit from the relationship
commensalism
herbivory
parasitism
mutualism
symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed
predation
commensalism
parasitism
mutualism
interaction in which one animal (the herbivore) feeds on producers (such as plants)
herbivory
recourse
keystone species
symbiosis
