7
Question 1 - 30

• Explain the relationship between the biota and
  the biosphere.

8
Answer 1 30

9
Question 1 - 40

• A frog jumps into a pond and its skin absorbs
  water. What spheres has the water moved through?

10
Answer 1 40

• Hydrosphere and Biosphere

11
Question 1 - 50

• James Lovelock developed this theory which
  considers Earth itself a kind of living organism.

12
Answer 1 50

• Gaia hypothesis

13
Question 2 - 10

• Name the three climate zones

14
Answer 2 10

• Polar
• Temperate
• Tropical

15
Question 2 - 20

• What is the difference between climate and
  weather?

16
Answer 2 20

• Weather describes the conditions (temperature,
  precipitation, wind conditions, etc.) on a
  day-to-day basis. Climate is the long-term
  pattern of weather.

17
Question 2 - 30

• A climate of a small specific place within a
  larger area

18
Answer 2 30

• Microclimate

19
Question 2 - 40

• What two factors influence the angle at which the
  rays of sunlight come in contact with the Earths
  surface?

20
Answer 2 40

• The spherical shape of the planet
• The tilt of the Earth on its axis

21
Question 2 - 50

• Explain the influence that mountains have on
  rainfall on both the windward (facing the wind)
  and the downwind side of the mountain.

22
Answer 2 50

• As warm air approaches the mountain it rises and
  cools causing rain on the windward side
• The downwind side then receives drier and cooler
  air

23
Question 3 - 10

• This biome has very dry climate (less than 25cm
  annually). There are 4 types hot, semiarid,
  coastal, and cold

24
Answer 3 10

• Desert

25
Question 3 - 20

• This biome is also known as the boreal forest and
  is located in cooler climates. It is generally
  north of the Temperate Forests and South of the
  Tundra.

26
Answer 3 20

• Taiga

27
Question 3 - 30

• This biome can be either Tropical or Temperate
  and the primary plant life is grass.

28
Answer 3 30

• Grassland

29
Question 3 - 40

• This biome is located beyond the taiga in far
  northern latitudes. Long winters and short
  summers result in permafrost.

30
Answer 3 40

• Tundra

31
Question 3 - 50

• Name the two major Non-Biome Areas and explain
  why they are not considered Biomes.

32
Answer 3 50

• Polar ice caps no soil or specific plant
  communitiy
• Mountains climate and animal communities change
  depending on elevation

33
Question 4 - 10

• The strip of land between the high and low tide
  lines

34
Answer 4 10

• Intertidal zone

35
Question 4 - 20

• This ocean zone lies below 2000 meters in
  complete darkness

36
Answer 4 20

• Abyssal Zone

37
Question 4 - 30

• This ocean zone extends from the edge of the
  neritic zone to the base of the continental shelf

Answer 4 30

• Bathyal zone

39
Question 4 - 40

• Name and define the two types of Plankton

40
Answer 4 40

• Phytoplankton photosynthetic plankton that
  produce 70 or more of the Earths oxygen
• Zooplankton animal plankton

41
Question 4 - 50

• Found in the neritic zone, these forests exist in
  cold, nutrient-rich waters. They can grow to
  over 30 meters (100 feet)

42

  abundance of plankton communities

50
Answer 5 40

• Limnetic zone

51
Question 5 - 50
