1 Name Date Biology Ch 4 NTWS SECTION 1 The Role of Climate What is Climate? is the day-to-day condition of Earth s atmosphere at a particular time and place. is the year-after-year conditions of temperature and precipitation in a particular region. Climate is caused by the interplay of such as the trapping of by the, the, the transport of heat by and, and the amount of that results. Energy from incoming drives Earth s weather and helps determine climate. Greenhouse Effect Temperature on Earth remains in a range suitable for life because it has a natural insulating blanket - the. Carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and a few other atmospheric gases trap heat energy and maintain Earth s. The natural situation in which heat is retained by this layer of greenhouse gases is called the. The Effects of Latitude on Climate Because Earth s is on a, the rays of light from the sun hit Earth at different. As a result of differences in and thus the, Earth has three main climate zones,,, and. The are extremely cold and are located around the North and South Pole, 66.5 and 90. The is in the middle of the Earth, As a result, it has 4 seasons. The is located near the equator, It receives almost direct sunlight. As a result, it is usually always warm.
2 Heat Transport in the Biosphere The of Earth s surface drives winds and ocean currents, which transports heat throughout the biosphere. Winds form because air and air. The same thing happens with. The cold water near the poles and runs parallel to the ocean s bottom, eventually rising near the equator through a process called. The surface water is moved by the. The Greenhouse Effect SECTION What Shapes an Ecosystem? Biotic and Abiotic Factors factors - Biological influences on organisms within an ecosystem. Any living thing; trees, grass, birds, deer, etc. factors - Physical, or nonliving, factors that shape ecosystems. Nonliving things, rocks, water, air, wind, climate, etc. Together, biotic and abiotic factors determine the survival and growth of an organism and the productivity of the ecosystem in which the organism lives. The area where an organism lives is called its. The Niche A is the full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions. In other words, a niche is an organism s in the ecosystem. A niche can include its in a food web, needed for survival, of food it eats, how it gets its, and how and when it.
3 Community Interactions Community interactions, such as,, and various forms of, can powerfully affect an ecosystem. Competition occurs when organisms of the same or different species attempt to use an ecological resource in the same place at the same time. A resource is any necessity of, such as,,. Direct in nature leads to a winner and a loser, who may not survive. states that no two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time. Predation A is an organism that captures and feeds on another organism. The organism that is eaten is called the. Symbiosis Any relationship in which two species live. There are three types of : Both organisms benefit from the relationship. One member of the association benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. One organism lives on or inside another organism and harms it. The organism that is harmed is called the host. A parasite weakens but does not kill the host and is usually smaller. Ecosystems are constantly changing in response to natural and human disturbances. As an changes, older inhabitants gradually die out and new organisms move in, causing further changes in the community.
4 The series of predictable changes that occur in a community over time is called. These changes can be slow or sudden. Occurs on surfaces where no soil exists. Example: After a or bear rock caused by a. The first species to occupy the area are called. The pioneer species of a volcanic eruption would be lichens (Fungus and alga). Ecosystems can be changed by or. When the disturbance is over, community interactions tend to restore the ecosystem to its original condition. This process is called SECTION Biomes Tropical Facts - Largest number of different species than all other biomes combined; Canopy; Understory.
