| 14689706016 | 4 Main Levels Ecologists Work on | Organism, Population,Community,Global | 0 | |
| 14689707745 | Bitoic | any living thing | 1 | |
| 14689709068 | Abiotic | non living things like the sun, rain,soil,winds | 2 | |
| 14689713325 | How do Ocean Gyres work? | The warm water with nutrients floats up and eventually turns cold and carries oxygen back down | 3 | |
| 14689717664 | Lake Turnover | The yearly rising and sinking of cold and warm water layers in a lake to distribute nutrients | 4 | |
| 14689719491 | Thermocline | a gradient of temperatures | 5 | |
| 14689721026 | Stratfication | when distinct tempature sections form | 6 | |
| 14689728087 | Winter | Stratfication occurs and and nutrients are kept on the bottom | 7 | |
| 14689731048 | Spring | turnover occurs and warm waters move down with oxygen when it becomes densest at 4 degrees C | 8 | |
| 14689732915 | Summer | stratification happens again | 9 | |
| 14689735518 | Fall | turnover occurs and warm waters move down with oxygen when it becomes densest at 4 degrees | 10 | |
| 14689748521 | Productivity | how much biomass is created | 11 | |
| 14689750587 | Detrirus | ocean debris made of dead organic matter | 12 | |
| 14689752516 | plankton | small ocean organisms that supply energy to many organsisms | 13 | |
| 14689755961 | Eustary | where freshwater and saltwater meets | 14 | |
| 14689757870 | Wetland | an area where the soil is mostly flooded | 15 | |
| 14689759022 | Desert | has very little perciptation and very hot tempatures ecespically in the middle of the year | 16 | |
| 14689761635 | Tundra | Has very little perciptation and has below freezing tempatures for most of the year | 17 | |
| 14689768727 | Grasslands | Have even percipatation and mild tempatures | 18 | |
| 14689770581 | Rain Forest | Has a lot of perciptation in begining of the year and a consistant tempature | 19 | |
| 14689774625 | weather | short term sunlight, rain,and atmospheric changes | 20 | |
| 14689776939 | climate | long term weather conditions in a certian location | 21 | |
| 14689779821 | Bio mass | total mass of organisms | 22 | |
| 14689779822 | NPP | Net primary productivity which is the rate producers make energy -amount of energy they use = amount of energy left for other organisms | 23 | |
| 14689785755 | Hadley Cell | At equator the air is hot and has water, it goes up into space and gets cold releasing water on the equator rainforests which now have warm air again and can pick up water from the 30 degree deserts | 24 | |
| 14689791647 | Cornelius Effect | the deflection of currents away from their original course as a result of Earth's rotation | 25 | |
| 14689795450 | Why are the poles cold? | Poles are cold because sunlight hits them on an angle instead of directly | 26 | |
| 14689797485 | Rain shadow | Air coming off oceans collect water and rains on the mountian as its air rises and cools and leaving areas on the other side of the mountain dry(desert) | 27 | |
| 14689804391 | Why are tempatures cooler next to bodies of water? | The specfic heat of water is used to control the lands tempature so by living next to a body of water you will feel cooler because the water in the body of water is absorbing your heat | 28 | |
| 14689808954 | Biogeography | distrubution of plants and animals. | 29 | |
| 14689810493 | Thermus aquaticus | lives in hot springs because it has evoloved to do that way, that is its niche enviorment | 30 | |
| 14689810494 | Niche | Full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions | 31 | |
| 14689813300 | fitness trade-off | two traits that cannot be optimized simultaneously, an organism cannot be able to live in both extremes | 32 | |
| 14689817921 | Wallace Line | In sumatara there is a line that divides asian animals and australian animals because before australia broke off of that section, there was a rift where that line was which never complelty froze over and australian animals could not cross it | 33 | |
| 14689819244 | Exotic Species | new to an area | 34 | |
| 14689819245 | invasive species | an exotic species who survived and reproduced | 35 | |
| 14689821303 | Biotic factors limiting dispearl | predators, food competition,mate compititon | 36 | |
| 14689826332 | Abiotic factors limiting dispearl | Terrain, precipitation, temperature, atm P | 37 | |
| 14689833813 | photic zone | where life reaches organisms water | 38 | |
| 14689833814 | aphotic zone | where life doesnt reach organsisms in water | 39 | |
| 14689836034 | Turbididty | cloudiness of water | 40 | |
| 14689844507 | # of Organisms vs. Temp | Bell curve where Organisms will peak at niche | 41 |
