Elk (Wapiti) Preferred Habitat: The most productive habitat for elk is aspen. Aspen areas can contain and support large numbers of elk. Some other preferred habitats are oakbrush‚ mountain shrub‚ conifer‚ spruce fir‚ and ponderosa pine. Oakbrush can provide coverage and food for the elk. Most of these habitats provide coverage‚forage‚ and security for elk. Place in the food web: Below is a picture of a food web of animals in Yellowstone National Park. The elk is a primary consumer in a food

Conservation of Energy In explaining the laws of conservation of energy‚ energy cannot be destroyed or made. Although‚ energy can be transformed or transferred from one form to another‚ for example: The total amount of energy in any system never changes but stays constant over time. Second example: Coal is burned‚ and then used as thermal energy for heat‚ next the steam is used for mechanical energy. Energy is never destroyed but changed to forms like thermal energy‚ gravitational energy‚ electromagnetic

has a tendency to live within a habitat that has a hue similar to itself. It can alter its position on the background for a better camouflage to avoid predation (Marshall 2016). My test species the Phrynosoma Hernandesi‚ is an animal that is relatively a small and slow‚ making it an easy target for predation. Due their physical nature‚ P. Hernandesi relies heavily on camouflage to survive (James 2007). Thus hue similarity between the P. Hernandesi and its habitat will increase its chances of survival

groups‚ scientists can monitor the breeding rates of animals and compare them to recent years to see if their population has flourished or declined. Conserving biodiversity isn’t just about conserving endangered species‚ it’s about conserving entire habitats and ecosystems (Environment.gov.au‚ 2017). Some ways Australia is preserving their biodiversity is by introducing national policies for the management of Australia’s biological resources‚ whole farming linked to regional or catchment plans and catchment

Increasing Water Conservation by Educating the Youth From 2000 to present day‚ the Colorado River basin could be declared in a state of drought due to the rapid depletion of the basin water levels. “Some 40 million people – including those in Las Vegas‚ Los Angeles‚ Phoenix‚ Tucson and San Diego — and 4 million acres of farmland rely on water from the Colorado River Basin‚ much of it stored in Lake Mead‚” (Postel‚ 1). This immense reliance on the Colorado River basin has lead to an overuse of the

Laboratory Report The title of the lab that we completed in class was The Law of Conservation of Matter. The purpose of this lab was to find out if matter can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Dalton came up with the atomic theory‚ which included the law of conservation of matter. His theory was that matter cannot be created or destroyed and that chemical reactions only rearrange the way that atoms are combined; the atoms themselves don’t change. The procedure went like this
