one‚ and the entire thing collapses. There really is no “Most Important”. * What is biodiversity? Is it important? Relate biodiversity to the tropic levels. Biodiversity is the variation of taxonomic life forms within a given ecosystem or a biome. It is the measure of health of the biological system to indicate the degree to which the species are diverse and the count of viable versus extinct species. Each level of consumption in a food chain is called a tropic level. More diversity means more

Seas and oceans provide various types of resources to human beings and habitats to numerous species of plants and animals. They play very important roles in the economy of a nation and its people. Still‚ the marine and coastal ecosystems are under severe stress due to human activities. Ocean Resources The ocean is one of Earth ’s most valuable natural resources. It provides food in the form of fish and shellfish—about 200 billion pounds are caught each year. It ’s used for transportation—both travel

Herpetologists Records show that sightings of Corn snakes in northern Mexico are most likely misidentifications of the northern copperhead snake. Corn snakes have adapted to live in a variety of different habitats and climates‚ from the cold tundra climates found in New Jersey and Delaware to the semi-Saharan climates of Florida and Texas. Corn snakes are active both during the day and the night time‚ but become primarily nocturnal in the warm summer months. Corn snakes are typically found

Warming is caused by many things. The causes are split up into two groups‚ man-made or anthropogenic causes‚ and natural causes. Natural Causes Natural causes are causes created by nature. One natural cause is a release of methane gas from arctic tundra and wetlands. Methane is a greenhouse gas. A greenhouse gas is a gas that traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Another natural cause is that the earth goes through a cycle of climate change. This climate change usually lasts about 40‚000 years. Man-made
