A

Behavioral
Physcial
Structural

61
Q

Physiological adaptations

A

Occor inside an organizum

62
Q

Structural adaptations

A

Physcial features of an organizum

63
Q

Behavioral adaptations

A

Behaviors an organizum gains

64
Q

Tundra

A

Winters are very long and summer is short
Is the coldest possible and closest to the poles

65
Q

Taiga

A

Winters are long but summer is long too and the ground completely thaws
Second coldest

66
Q

Deciduous forest

A

Has four distinct seasons and the heavy snow eventually melts

67
Q

Grassland

A

Dry season and rain is rare

68
Q

Rainforest

A

rain falls almost every day
The tempeture rarely changes

69
Q

Desert

A

Driest and rain is rare

70

What type of system is a biome

A

Open

71
Q

How much has global tempetures risen in the last decade

A

0.6 degrees

72
Q

Enhanced greenhouse effect

A

Is when as humans we further polute the atomosphere further unaturally.

73
Q

Carbon stink

A

Is a major source of carbon/ resivior
(Oceans)

74
Q

How does deforestation effect carbon dioxide

A

Trees naturally have carbon dioxide inside them stored and once they are cut he carbon dioxide goes to the enviroment.

75
Q

What does albedo do in climate change

A

Icecaps for example have very high albedo and as a result reflect lots of incoming radiation reflects off and goes into the atmosphere.
