Chapters 5,10,18,19,20 Test Study Guide FRQ -Air Pollution= Is the presence of chemicals in the troposphere in high concentrations high enough to harm organisms, ecosystems, or materials, and high enough to alter climate. -Outdoor Pollutants= mostly human inputs, occur in industrialized and urban areas where people, cars, and factories are concentrated. (burning fossil fuels in power plants, factories, and cars) -Two Types of Outdoor Pollution -Primary Pollutants= Harmful substances that are emitted directly into the air. (most hydrocarbons and suspended particles) -Secondary Pollutants= Some primary pollutants reacting with one another or with the basic components of air to form new harmful pollutants. (Most NO3- AND SO42- Salts)

There are 5 Themes of Geography MOVEMENT ? The movement of: People Products Ideas http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-you-decide-where-to- go-in-a-zombie-apocalypse-david-hunter REGION ? Basically: A region is an how you lump an area with other areas ? Formal Regions are those defined by governmental or administrative boundaries or similar characteristics. What is an example of a formal region? ? Functional Regions are those defined by a function ? Vernacular Regions are those loosely defined by people's perception. Example: What is ?The South? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LVXiM_u_UM HUMAN/ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTION ? Humans adapt to the environment. - In Alaska there is 24 hour sunshine for 2-3 months of the year ? Humans modify the environment.

Principles of Ecology Organisms and Their Environment What is Ecology? Ecology: the study of interactions that take place between organisms and their environment The Biosphere Biosphere: the part of Earth that supports life The biosphere includes the top portion of Earth?s crust, all the waters that cover Earth?s surface, and the atmosphere that surrounds Earth. The biosphere is made up of different environments that are home to different kinds of organisms. Ecosystem: all the living organisms living in an area and the nonliving features of their environment Biotic factors: living organisms in an ecosystem (ex. bison, grass, birds, insects) Abiotic factors: nonliving features of an ecosystem (ex. water, temperature, sunlight, soil, air) Levels of Organization

What is ecology? 2. Study Figure 52.2. It shows the different levels of the biological hierarchy studied by ecologists. Notice also the different types of questions that might be studied by an ecologist at each level of study. Use this figure to define or explain the following terms: organismal ecology population population ecology community community ecology ecosystem ecosystem ecology landscape ecology biosphere global ecology

Ecology Study Guide Notes Chapter 50: Intro to Ecology The Scope -3 main questions: Where do they live? Why do they live where they do? How many are there? -Ecology helps reveal the richness of the biosphere and helps humans understand how to protect that diversity and richness which is now under attack. 50.1 Ecology is the study between organisms and the environment - Naturalists began studying organisms in their environment. Humans have also had need to know about organisms for hunting and gathering. - Ecology is very much an experimental science (field experiments). The difficulty to provide consistent results has resulted in many innovations regarding experimental science. Ecology and Evolution
