Chapter 7 2. Concept: Key factors that influence an area’s climate are incoming solar energy‚ the earth’s rotation‚ global patterns of air and water movement‚ gases in the atmosphere‚ and the earth’s surface features. It is important to understand the difference between weather and climate. Weather is a set of physical conditions of the lower atmosphere‚ including temperature‚ precipitation‚ humidity‚ wind speed‚ cloud cover‚ and other factors‚ in a given area over a period of hours or days.

The rest of animal’s coat is white. In addition‚ in the wild‚ the panda is a terrestrial animal and primarily spend their life roaming and feeding at the bamboo forest. Next‚ they are generally solitary because they don’t live in a group‚ and each adult has a defined territory‚ therefore‚ the female panda will not tolerant

Terrestrial planet’s surface is made of solid and Jovian planet’s surface is made of gas. The terrestrial planets are close to the sun and Jovian planets are further away from the sun. Last is terrestrial planets spin a lot less than Jovian planets. 2. How are the atmospheres of Venus

It is called Tokyo Skytree‚ and it had to be built for the purpose of adaptation to a new type of television‚ digital terrestrial broadcasting. However‚ there are several reasons because of radio interference‚ the Japanese companies were change their type of television‚ and influence on public opinion‚ why the Tokyo Skytree was built. First of all‚ the Tokyo Skytree had

differences between aquatic and terrestrial environments. Abiotic characteristics are: Temperature‚ Pressure and Light Availability. The differences between aquatic and terrestrial environments are: Small temperature changes occur in aquatic environments while large temperature changes occur in terrestrial environments. As the depth of water increases‚ pressure increases in aquatic environments while at sea level‚ the pressure is higher than at higher altitude in terrestrial environments. Very low amount

For the aquatic chamber‚ we stated that the fish would die if the fish did not receive enough oxygen and enough food in the tank. The decomposition chamber did not have a lot of changes much because there is no activity or life in that chamber besides the the potato and the worm. The group also hypothesised that the terrestrial chamber would flourish only

Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. Biodiversity is a measure of the health of ecosystems. Greater biodiversity implies greater health. Biodiversity is in part a function of climate. In terrestrial habitats‚ tropical regions are typically rich whereas polar regions support fewer species. Rapid environmental changes typically cause extinctions. One estimate is that less than 1% of the species that have existed on Earth are extant
