Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? In my own opinion No but as u read more about it some things need to be preserved. For instance animals help the crops of the foods that we eat. Snakes help to cure different diseases. Humans help the plants and animals to grow. The fact that human beings are a species means that they depend on many other species

‘Define Biodiversity and using examples‚ explain why it is important’ Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth. A fuller definition is given in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) from the 1992 Earth summit: ‘Biodiversity is the variability among living organisms from all sources‚ including terrestrial‚ marine‚ and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part ; this includes diversity within species‚ between species and of ecosystems’ (Hambler‚ C.‚ 2004

Tundra Biome {draw:frame} {draw:frame} The arctic tundra can be found in the northern hemisphere‚ encircling the North Pole and extending to the coniferous forest of taiga. Some specific locations of the arctic tundra include Northern America (Northern Alaska‚ Canada‚ and Greenland)‚ Northern Europe (Scandinavia)‚ and Northern Asia (Siberia). The alpine tundra can be found in the mountains throughout the world at high altitudes where trees are unable to grow. They can be found in Northern

"SAVANNA Biome" What is a SAVANNA BIOME? * Savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees. Not enough rain falls on a savanna to support forests. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands. What is the CLIMATE in a Savanna? * The Savanna biome has a wet/dry climate. Its Köppen climate group is Aw. The A stands for a tropical climate‚ and the w for a dry season in the winter. * In the wet season‚ all of the plants are lush and the rivers flow freely

ecosystem characterized by being sufficiently spaced so that the canopy does not close. Savannas are also characterized by seasonal water availability‚ with the majority of rainfall confined to one season. Savannas are associated with several types of biomes. Savannas are frequently in a traditional zone between forest and desert or grassland. The Savanna covers approximately 20% of the earth’s area. The Savannas is a wet and dry climate‚tropical savanna monthly dry season. Its the driest month of the

Antarctic Biome Antarctica‚ you could definitely say is a chunk of ice and snow two times as big as the US‚ but as you look deeper beyond the surface of the ice‚ many intriguing and breathtaking relationships in the ecosystem occur. Antarctica is not just a chunk of snow it is a continent‚ it is home to gigantic ice shelves‚ mountains‚ ice bergs and even volcanoes that support all and many forms of life. It is one of the harshest continents in the whole entire world with no permanent human residence

Why Preserve Biodiversity? ANSWERS 1. Define the term “biodiversity” Biodiversity‚ or biological diversity‚ is the term for the variety of life and the natural processes of which living things are a part. This includes the living organisms and the genetic differences between them and the communities in which they occur. The concept of biodiversity represents the ways that life is organized and interacts on our planet. 2. What is ecology? Ecology is the study of organisms and their relationship with
