| 8462487243 | Study the ozone vs. greenhouse layer hw chart | Greenhouse Layer - About 11km above sea level, in the troposphere - Co2, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases, water vapor, some CFCS, ozone - Water vapor is the most plentiful greenhouse gas - Methane is a greenhouse gas, powerful at heat trapping - Anthropogenic (manual) - Heats up earth and increases the amount of UV radiation - Humans are adding to greenhouse gasses by releasing carbon dioxide, adds to the problem - Adding greenhouse gases will increase temperature of earth. - Cut back on use of ghg - Anthropogenic Ozone Layer -About 20 km above sea level, in the stratosphere -Oxygen and UV -Global sunscreen keeps out 95% of the sun's harmful radiation -Humans used to release a lot of co2 but can cut down on usage and help the ozone layer -If the ozone were affected, UV radiation would harm humans | 5 | |
| 8462514204 | Study tragedy of the commons, book or notes or hw | Exploiting a common resource until it becomes scarce | 6 | |
| 8462516490 | Know what the external cost of pollution means | External cost of pollution occurs when the price of damage to the environment is not accounted for in the actual price of the product. Ex. Selling a t-shirt for $12 does not include the warehouse and the habitat destruction | 7 | |
| 8462521751 | Know what passive solar design is | Maximizes solar energy to never have touse electricity South facing window and a thicc glass, use an awning for summer to keep heat out and use without in the winter to keep heat in. | 8 | |
| 8462524921 | Know some of the characteristics of compact urban living vs. suburban living in terms of water use, use of fossil fuels, and habitat destruction | Compact Urban Living- everything is built UP, and close in walking distance so less fossil fuels from cars, less water to water lawns n stuff bc there are none and everything is close together ya feel, less habitat destruction bc everything goes upwards Suburban Sprawl- literally the opposite of all of that | 9 | |
| 8462527881 | Know which regions of the world contain the most areas of tropical rainforest | In the tropics and near the equator Brazil, Congo, Peru, Indonesia, Colombia | 10 | |
| 8462589450 | Know what the consequences of overgrazing on grasslands are | increase in weeds or unpalatable plants, increased soil erosion, and a decrease in the biomass of important forage plant, DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH TO REGROW | 11 | |
| 8462589451 | Know what a monoculture is and what resources are required to maintain a monoculture | Cultivation of a SINGLE crop, fertilizers, machines, pesticides (they go into groundwater runoff and pollution yeah yeah) | 12 | |

| 8462622742 | Know the relative order of biomes from the equator to the polar regions | POLAR TO EQUATOR Tundra Taiga Temperate rainforest Grasslands Desert Temperate deciduous forest Chaparral Tropical Rainforest Savanna | 14 | |
| 8462721909 | Know the general types of plants found in a tropical rainforest | plants that never touch soil in the rainforest. Instead, these plants use the nutrients and resources of the trees they grow on to thrive | 15 | |
| 8462725229 | Know some general adaptations for plants that live in the desert biome | Needles and spikes protect the plant from animals Can retain water and do not require a lot of water Shallow root systems Few/little leaves | 16 | |
| 8462816941 | Know the threats to tundra biome.....also know what permafrost is....and the positive feedback loop related to this biome | The melting of the permafrost as a result of global warming could radically change the landscape and what species are able to live there. Ozone depletion at the North and South Poles means stronger ultraviolet rays that will harm the tundra. Permafrost- a thick subsurface layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the yea Feedback Loop -A warming atmosphere is causing the permafrost in the arctic regions to melt (think rotting vegetation, think peat bog) -Methane is released -Methane is a more powerful ghg than carbon dioxide -The methane is causing the atmosphere to heat up -This causes more permafrost to melt, releasing more methane......(+ feedback loop) | 17 | |
| 8462852893 | Know the rain shadow effect and what type of biomes it creates on both windward and leeward side of mountain range | Chaparral on the windward side Desert on the leeward side |  | 18 |
| 8462868844 | Know some general threats to desert ecosystems, and why this biome is particularly fragile | Global warming- Higher temperatures may produce an increasing number of wildfires that alter desert landscapes by eliminating slow-growing trees and shrubs and replacing them with fast-growing grasses. Irrigation used for agriculture may in the long term lead to salt levels in the soil that become too high to support plants. Grazing animals can destroy many desert plants and animals. Potassium cyanide used in gold mining may poison wildlife. Off Roading- Off-road vehicles, when used irresponsibly, can cause irreparable damage to desert habitats. Oil and gas production may disrupt sensitive habitat. And nuclear waste may be dumped in deserts, which have also been used as nuclear testing grounds. | 19 | |
| 8462951314 | Know the general types of animals found in the savanna and some of their adaptations for feeding | Elephants Trunks that allow them to access water in baobab trees. The strength of their trucks allow for them to break open the trunk of the tree and access water. Fork-tailed Drongos Attracted to the active fires. These birds feast on fleeing or flame-roasted insects. Warthogs kneels on its calloused, hairy, padded knees to eat short grass. Animals migrate during the dry season | 20 | |
| 8463047519 | Various names of the grassland biomes | Pampas of Argentina and Uruguay, the steppes of Russia, and the prairies of North America. | 21 | |
| 8463064590 | Know a generalized food web that would be found in a temperate grassland | Decomposers- Termites, Producers- Bluestem grass, Coneflowers, Wild indigos, Primary Consumers- Red breasted nuthatch (smol bird), Douglas's squirrel, Ringtail (rodent thing), Western Whiptail Tertiary Consumers- Coyote, mountain lion, | 22 | |
| 8463159711 | Know what tundra is and where one might find it | he tundra has cold, dry, and short summers and extremely cold winters with harsh winds all year long. The latitude is 10° N. to 57° S. The longitude is 70° W. to 80° E. |  | 23 |
| 8463179775 | Know some of the conditions that plants in the tundra have to be able to endure | The tundra has cold, dry, and short summers and extremely cold winters with harsh winds all year long. The soil in the tundra is nutrient poor. It includes a permafrost layer that penetrates a few inches down, which is frozen at all times. | 24 | |
| 8463256761 | Where generally speaking, are grasslands found on earth? | North of Tropic of Cancer |  | 25 |
| 8471853708 | Know which biome the "Mediterranean climate" can be found in | Chaparral | 26 | |
| 8471860515 | Know why the tundra biome is particularly fragile | The tundra is slow to recover from damage. | 27 | |
| 8471862996 | Know the benefits of fire in the chaparral biome (as well as grassland biome) | the fire will take out "weaker" plants that don't belong. Fire kills diseases and insects that prey on trees and provides valuable nutrients that enrich the soil. Fire removes low-growing underbrush, cleans the forest floor of debris, opens it up to sunlight, and nourishes the soil. Wildlands provide habitat and shelter to forest animals and birds | 28 | |

| 8471893643 | Temperate Grassland names | prairies, pampas, steppes | 36 | |
| 8471899968 | Predict how climate might be different on this planet if it took our earth 48 hours instead of 24 hours to rotate on it's axis | Storms would be more severe, and last longer, El Nino would be stronger, warmer, and cycle more frequently, more drastic cold and hots | 37 | |
| 8471908246 | Know the general characteristics of the grassland biomes | Chart | 38 | |
| 8471909182 | Know generalized patterns of species migration as climate change continues to affect the temperatures and levels of participation. | Dry season they move and wet season they come back | 39 | |
| 8471910229 | Know the type of air current found at the line of latitude where most deserts are found | 40 |
