-
Rain Shadow
One side of a mountain air pressure is brought up = precipitation, rain to fall on that side
-
Carbon Cycle:
Oxidizing carbon molecules or creating carbon dioxide which is going up and it is trapping heat, ultimately affecting our climate
-

-
Stimuli; series of actions you’ll take till completion
Behavior triggered by something or some sort of stimulus for a purpose
Ex: Goose sits on eggs n will move and sit on any object near its nest resembling an egg
“Eye brow flash” done between people when greeting
Not learned behavior, but something happens during a critical time(period) in lifetime
Ex: In geese babies follow mother everywhere; switch mother to some other individual and same thing happens. /imprints on scent
-
-
-
-
Same stimuli over and over again and eventually learn to ignore it
learn to ignore things that aren’t important “Habituating to a response”
Ex: Prairie dogs scream to warn everyone that a predator is near, but if predator causes no harm and comes by over and over again they will habituate to it and stop
-
Ex: Human sticking tongue out and monkey mimics
Octopus learning from visually observing the act of another organism
More complex problem solving/Non-linear thinking or problem solving, more abstract
“being able to see beyond the immediate or project the outcome/consequences”
Chimpanzee problem solving getting to a banana at the top by stacking boxes up
“Candle/tacks/matches problem”

-
"Related to evolution in a sense that certain mating behaviors allow the organism to reproduce and not die out"

-
-expanding beyond the community ecology, where we are dealing with weather (climate and such)
-
-
-
-we experience seasons because of the tilt of the earth (different amount of sunlight throughout the year)
-
-
-f your tilted towards the sun thats summer (only northern hemisphere) and the southern hemisphere is tilted away from sun (winter)
-
-
-
- Everything parallel to the equator (go across the earth) Longitude: connect pole to pole (vertically)
0 degree latitude at Equator and 90 at Poles
-Air would rise at 0 degree (because warm air rises) as well as 60 degrees and air tends to fall at about 30 degrees and at the poles(90)
-air gets precipitation where warm air rises (equator = rainforest)
when air comes back down, that dry air absorbs moisture but it’ll be dry (30 degree north or south latitude of equator = desert locations*
-Relates to high-low pressure system = pressure goes up when air goes down and pressure goes down when air goes up
-
-
-Difference between climate and weather: Climate is the general characteristics for an area over an entire year. Weather is what is happening now or currently
-
-

-
-

-
-
-
the spin(rotation) of the earth (wind flows from high pressure to low pressure and opposite of the rotation of the earth)
east to west
Trade winds, rotation of earth causes wind to go opposite direction (flows towards west
-
-
-covered with trees, greenery
-
Cellular Respiration, Decomposing of things, Burning fossil fuels
yes climate change has happened before (such as major cooling of the earth) in the past, only difference is that now there is more of a rapid change
-
Global warming is not the best description because it is just “change” that is occurring and that has occurred before
Biotic: means living (animals, plants, microbes) deal with life
Abiotic: Nonliving (weather, ph of soil, temperature) deals with nonliving factors
small, typical environment in a really small area that has nothing to do with the climate.
( Ex: organisms that don’t care about the environment, or organisms that live under bark of the tree, not really caring about the real weather/climate since it doesn’t affect them)
-
Biome can differ with height (elevation) from the ground = ex: monkey living higher elevation than four legged organisms found on the ground
-weather patterns change
-temperature change
-water availability changes
-massive forest fires
-massive eruptions
-massive flooding
-asteroid hitting the planet
-
-
-
Ecosystem is what you define (as big as you want) a biome is BIG and its based on where they are located in the planet
-
Statistical record or analysis of a population (number of people, ethnicities, race, socioeconomic levels, etc.)
Economic Resources or where resources provide us with the best opportunities and animals tend to disperse where their resources are best. (Clumped)
Organisms that cant move (such as plants and trees) rely on wind to disperse their seeds. (Random locations and depends if the climate is favorable for their growth)
Territorial Organisms (Uniform) dispersement, provides equal distribution

-
-Why isn’t growth linear, because organisms that have babies are going to have more babies than the first ones to reproduce
- Populations show exponential growth when there is a lot of resources are available and usually exponential growth is followed by a crash.. due to overpopulation.. and the few that survive, start it all over.
-
-
Ideal resources (K) “carrying capacity” - the amount of resources the area can occupy to maintain the population
If population is above K it will crash down
If population is below K it can still hold more population capacity
-You are all about growth rate, an organism is to have as much offsprings, because resources unlimited, hope some make it
-Adapted to the fact that resources are limited, already kinda maxed out, have a limited amount of babies that you can take care of so that they can survive
-
-
-
-
Because everyone wants those resources and because of travel, everyone is moving towards where those resources are at. Causing concern about immigration/borders
