Unit 1 Flashcards
Ecology
the study of experiments / Eco - home / Logy - the study of
Ecology Points
Interaction / Interdependence / Cause & Effect
Organism (Levels Of Study)
Individual
Population (Levels Of Study)
Species
Communities (Levels Of Study)
Multiple Populations / All Biotic
Ecosystems (Levels Of Study)
Ecosystems / All Abiotic & Biotic
The Biosphere (Levels Of Study)
The Earth
Generalist
Something That Can Live In Many Places And Stuff
Specialist
Something That Can Only Live In A Very Specfic Sinuation
Abiotic Factors
Earth / Water / Air / Tempature
Ocean Upwelling
Sun Heats Up The Air That Will Go Through The Ocean And Circulate Nutrients And Regulate
Thermocline Turnover
Temperature Of The Water Pishes Water Around
Aquatic (Abiotic Environments)
Oxygen / Salinity / Current / Tides / Vents
Terrestrial (Abiotic Environments)
Fire / Wind
Aquatic & Terrestrial (Abiotic Environments)
Volcanism / Tectonics / Natural Events
Optimal Zone (Tolerance Ranges)
Greatest Fitness / Survive / Reproduce
Zone Of Stress (Tolerance Ranges)
Survive / No Reproduction
Zone Of Intolerance (Tolerance Ranges)
Organisms Absent
Generalists & Specialists
Specialist Will Survive Better In Their Range By Having Higher Optimal But Be Narrower / If Not Generalists Will Destroy Specialists
Seasons
Not Temperature / Determined By How Much Sunlight Hits The Area Due To The Earth’s Tilt
Winds
Hot Air Rises & Cold Air Sinks / This Change In Temperature And Movement Creates Wind
/ The Earth Spins Faster Than The Earth So The Air Falls Up And Down Before Making It To The Equator
Air Rising And Falling
Hot Air Raining - Rain / Cold Air Descending - No Rain
Biomes
Patterns Of Precipitation / Temperature Pattern / Distribution Of Living Orgmaisum And Abiotic
Tropical (Regions)
30 - 30 North & South Degrees
