study of spatial distribution of species both past and present. 1939- FREDERIC CLEMENTS AND VICTOR SHELFORD introduced an approach that will combine plant and animal distribution in one classification system. They called these biotic components as BIOMES. It is important because it was able to illustrate the dependence of animals on plants. Why are there consistent

Science Study Notes An electrically uncharged object is neutral. Conduction is not a method of charging an object. If electric charged stay in one spot‚ they are said to be static. In charging by induction‚ when a negatively charged rod is brought near a metal leaf electroscope the electrons in the electroscope move away from the rod. A statement that is not part of the Law of Electric Charges is that neutral objects are attracted to uncharged objects. The purpose of a GFCI is to protect people from

Camren Allen Concept Check 1.1: 1.) A biosphere has an ecosystem that consists of all living things in an area. An ecosystem consists of communities which hold organisms that live in a specific area. A community consists of populations of all the individual organisms in a specific area. A population consists of living things called organisms. Organisms break down into organs and organ systems which are more complex parts of organisms. Organs and Organ Systems are created by tissues which is

Climate is a measure of the average pattern of variation in temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ wind‚ precipitation‚ atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate is different from weather‚ in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region. A region’s climate is generated by the climate system‚ which has five components: atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ cryosphere‚ land surface‚ and biosphere

Canada’s Ecozones An ecozone is an area where organisms and their physical environment form a system. Most of the features which are used to determine an ecozone are normally thought of as natural—landforms‚ soils‚ water features‚ vegetation and climate. However‚ where human activities are extensive and are key to sustaining the character of the area‚ they must also be considered a factor. “The Terrestrial Ecozones of Canada” is a nationwide ecological framework developed by Environment Canada

The loss of polar ice over the coming decades will lead to irreversible climate change and alter the face of the planet. The earth as we know it is a unique planet composed of global masses of air‚ land and sea. Each body interacts with each other in unique physical and biochemical ways and minute changes in one mass can lead to irreversible changes to another. Climatology is that scientific endeavour that monitors climate systems to explain loss of polar ice. The variables impacting climate and
