Answer:

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson 04.02 The Biosphere

• Identify factors that determine Earth's climates

Latitude, Ocean currents, wind/ air masses, Elevation, Relief, and Nearness to water are all factors that determine the Earth’s climate.

• Explain how climate and seasonal variations affect Earth’s varying biomes

With the changing climate and season it has a big effect on Earth’s varying biomes. Extreme heat rising in temperature would cause species to travel to a colder region. Climate change can have an effect on the arctic region. This would affect the life of polar bears, their hunting technique would be affected and without being able to hunt they will starve and later it can lead them to extinction. Other animals can be on the verge of extinction because of the dramatic climate change’s.

• Describe biotic and abiotic features of Earth's six major biomes

Tundra, Coniferous, Deciduous, Tropical rain forests, Grasslands, and deserts are the biotic and abiotic features of earth's six major biomes. The Tundra is a permanently frozen habitat. Plant life in this biome includes mosses, grasses, small flowers, shrubs. The animal life in the Tundra biome are birds, foxes, wolves, and reindeers. The coniferous also known as the Evergreen biome is a cold climate. This biome provides enough rainfall for trees to grow. The animal life in this biome include mooses, squirrels, beavers, and rabbits. Deciduous has a moderate climate. It has a long growing type season that is followed by a cold season. Leaves of maple or oak trees will fall off. This biome has many types of birds and animals. The Rainforest biome provides a lot of rain and it is hot all year around. This biome has large and tall trees, It has a large variety of plants. It has many different types of animals such as ocelots, sloths, jaguars, lemurs and other types of animals. The Grasslands has a moderate climate but there is not enough rain provided for this biome. Large herds of animals are in this biome such as Lions, prairie dogs, Bisons, Badgers, Coyotes, horses, and other animals. Deserts have a moderate to hot temperature with very little rain. The animals include lizards, camels, coyotes, scorpions and other animals.

• Describe the habitats of coastal, freshwater, and estuary ecosystems

Habitats in the estuary ecosystem include, reefs, kelp forests, deepwater swamps, coastal marshes, mangroves, submerged aquatic vegetation, riparian forests and other habitats that relate to the ones listed.

Lesson 04.03 Ecosystems

• Describe four factors that affect population size

The four factors that affect the population size are Birth Rate, Death Rate, Immigration, and emigration.

• Identify factors that limit population growth

Factors that limit population growth are, food limitations, climate changes, seasonal cycles, and pollutants in the environment.

• Explain the difference between primary and secondary succession

The primary succession have newly exposed or newly formed rocks grouped by living things for the first time. The secondary succession is an area that has previously been occupied by living things that have been disturbed.

• Difference between habitat and niche

The habitat and niche has a slight difference. A Habitat is a place where an organism lives. A Niche is an organism’s role in the environment. The Habitat is focused on how an environment impacts organisms while Niche focuses on how the organism impacts the environment.
