prey
host
predator
mutualist

microclimate
habitat
tolerance
niche
8

desert
temperate forest
tropical dry forest

oxygen gas
water vapor
carbon dioxide
methane
11
Warm air rising and cool air sinking causes
global wind patterns
regional precipitation
the seasons
ocean upwelling
12
The greenhouse effect
caused by differences in the angle of the sun
is a natural phenomenon that maintains Earth's temperature
has only occurred for the last 50 yrs
is an unnatural phenomenon that radiates heat back to space
13
A symbiotic relationship is which both species benefit is
mutualism
parasitism
commensalism
predation
14
An interaction where an animal feeds on plants is called
carnivory
herbivory
symbiosis
predation
15
Which of these does NOT contribute to climate?
latitude
heat transport
elevation of land masses
longitude
16
Which of these is a biological component of an organisms niche?
how it gets food
water
composition of soil
amount of sunlight
17
Several species of warblers can live in the same spruce tree because
they have different habitats
they occupy different niches
there are different temperatures within the tree
they don't eat from the tree
18
The average conditions in an area are called
ecosystem
latitude
weather
climate
19
Which of the following statements is NOT true about the open ocean?
nutrient poor
most of the photosynthetic activity on Earth occurs here
extends from continental shelf to continental shelf
begins at low tide mark and extends to continental shelf
20
Which land forms are not placed into a major biome?
prairies
islands
coastlines
mountain ranges
21
Which 2 biomes have the lowest amount of precipitation?
tundra and tropical rain forest
tundra and desert
boreal forest and temperate forest
desert and taiga
22
What is one major difference between primary and secondary succession?
1o begins on newly exposed surfaces, 2o begins on soil
1o modifies the environment, 2o does not
1o is rapid, 2o is slow
1o begins with trees, 2o begins with lichens
23
The photic zone
is where the producers are mainly chemosynthetic
is deep, cold, and permanently dark
extends to the bottom of the open ocean
extends to a depth of 100 - 200 meters
24
How is weather different from climate?
weather = temperature & precipitation, climate = temperature
weather depends on location, climate does not
weather is day to day, climate is average conditions
weather changes little, climate changes often
25

stream
estuary
lake
river
