    - - how much land one needs for resources
        
        in developing countries on average a person has about 2.7 acres
        
        in developed countries on average a person owns about 25 acres
        
        There is not enough land and resources to go around for everyone in the world to enjoy the standard living of developed countries
    - - Because we have passed K (carrying capacity) we need to use les resources
      - also the reduction to the population may come to a disease outbreak or a catastrophic event
- - - - a grassy plain in tropical and subtropical regions, with few trees.
    - - vegetation consisting chiefly of tangled shrubs and thorny bushes
    - - the driest and hottest place on earth and rainfall is sporadic. Some years no measurable precipitation falls at all
    - - Woodland of a usually rather mild climatic area. It receives heavy rainfall and has numerous kinds of trees
    - - a large open area of country covered with grass, especially one used for grazing
    - - at equator: sea level, very wet
    - - a plant community characterized by vegetation dominated by shrubs
    - - A dry, often sandy region of little rainfall, extreme temperatures, and sparse vegetation
    - - warm summers and cool winters and adequate rainfall to sustain a forest
    - - a vast, flat, treeless Arctic region of Europe, Asia, and North America in which the subsoil is permanently frozen.
    - - areas with annual precipitation less than 250 mm and a mean temperature during the warmest month of less than 10° C
  - - - The consistent rain in Seattle is caused by this
  - - - a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it
      - form a transition zone between river environments and maritime environments
    - - is the area that is above water at low tide and under water at high tide
    - - a small narrow river/a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake, or another such stream
    - - generally cold, though it is crisscrossed throughout with both warm and cold ocean currents. Tides and waves Food Chain algae and surface seaweeds sustain animals such as plankton and small fish
    - - land consisting of marshes or swamps; saturated land.
    - - a ridge of rock in the sea formed by the growth and deposit of coral.
      - Most coral reefs form in warm, shallow sea waters and rise to or near the surface, generally in the form of a barrier reef, fringing reef, or atoll.
    - - a large body of water surrounded by land.
    - - is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers
