  3. Hot poisonous gases make breathing impossible , and people succumb more guickly

  4. The Coriolis effect

  5. It is not a function of gravity but of the earths rotation and air movement

  6. Watersheds

  7. The boundary between two watersheds is called a divide

  8. 10000 years

  9. Residence time in groundwater can be many thousand years

  10. Metamorphic rock

  11. Become denser and more compact when exposed to high heat

  12. Granular disintegration

  13. Rocks are broken down by this

  14. Gause’s principle

  15. Explains that no two species can fill the same niche at the same time

  16. symbiosis

  17. It ahs three main types mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism

  18. Genetic drift

  19. Random protein breaks or other genetic changes are known as this

  20. Trophic level

  21. It includes producers, consumers, and decomposers

  22. Respiration

  23. It is not a main component of the hydrologic cycle

  24. Carbon

  25. It is the primary component of all organic matter

  26. Doubling time

  27. Is obtained by dividing 70 by the annual percentage growth rate

  28. Age structure diagrams

  29. They help scientists predict trends in a specific population

  30. Carrying capacity

  31. Is the change in population number over time is equal to exponential growth over time times the carrying capacity of the population size

  32. Genetically modified organism

  33. Genetically modified organism

  34. 30%

  38. Economical development of hotspots

  39. The INCU protects that

  40. I=(P*A*T)

  41. The equations solves for I (total impact) by using P (population size), A (affluence), and T(technology level) to project a population’s influence on its local and regional resources
