Climate
The weather is pleasant
as Belle takes a stroll
through town. But how
is weather different
from the area’s climate?
10 pts
Weather describes a region’s current
conditions
Climate describes average conditions
over a longer period of time
Climate
On their quest to find P.
Sherman, 42 Wallaby
Way, Sydney, Nemo and
Dory ride along the
North Atlantic Current.
What function do
currents serve in our
global climate?
Transport heat
20 points
Climate
What would happen
to the climate on the
coast of Australia if
this current were to
become warmer? 30 points
As the warm current gave off
more heat and moisture, the
climate on the coast would
become warmer
Climate
Why do polar regions, like
the North Pole, receive less
light than regions near the
equator?– 40 points
The sun hits less directly on
the poles, due to Earth’s
curvature (latitude)
Climate – Describe how
the greenhouse effect
keeps Earth’s temperature
in a range that is suitable
for life – 50 points
Greenhouse gases allow light to enter the
biosphere. Light may
1. be reflected off
2. some is absorbed as heat or
3. trapped within the atmosphere,
4. while some is able to escape out to space
Additional Question:
What are the main greenhouse gases?
Carbon dioxide, methane, and
water vapor
Niches & Relationships
Nemo and his sea
anemone have this type
of symbiotic
relationship. -10 pts
Niches & Relationships
In Finding Nemo, a flock of seagulls fights
over who gets to eat Nemo and Dory. What
type of community interaction does this
illustrate? 20 points
Intraspecific competition
Niches & Relationships
The blue whale from
Finding Nemo has
barnacles living on its body.
How do you know this is an
example of commensalism?
30 points
The whale isn’t harmed or
helped, but the barnacles get
helped by flowing through the
water to get food.
Niches & Relationships
Describe how a keystone species
creates interdependence within a
community. (Ex: Pacific coast
otters, like PB and J Otter)– 40
points
-If the keystone species (otter) dies out,
population of its prey (sea urchin) would grow
uncontrollably
- They would consume too many producers
(kelp)
- Thus throwing the community out of balance.
- The community relies on the stability of the
keystone species’ population.
Niches & Relationships
Describe Todd’s niche (The
fox from The Fox & The
Hound)
(Remember what defines a
niche?…) – 50 points
Resources – food, shelter, water
Physical aspects – the cave he lives in
Biological aspects – the food he eats, the
way he gets his food
Succession
Dante’s Peak, which is a
volcano that wreaks
havoc on a small town,
would cause what kind
of succession to occur?
Why? - 10 points
Primary succession – covers
with lava/ash and the soil no
longer supports life
Succession
What do you call the organisms
that first inhabit an area? - Kind
of like Davy Crockett, who
helped settle the wild frontier
– 20 points
Pioneer species
What is an example?
Lichen
Succession
Wall*E is one of the few robots
left inhabiting Earth after humans
leave the planet in complete,
nearly-lifeless ruin. The process
of Earth rebuilding its ecosystems
through a series of more-or-less
predictable changes is known
as… – 30 points
Ecological Succession
Succession
Ecosystems, like the one in
Avatar, may or may not recover
from these kinds of disturbances,
depending on recurrence and
extent of the damage.
– 40 points
Human-caused disturbance
Additional Question:
What type of disturbance
usually allows
restoration of the original
climax community?
A natural disturbance that allows
secondary succession, such as fire,
hurricane, tornado…
Succession
Explain how succession would
occur in Bambi’s ecosystem
after the fire wipes out his
forest? – 50 points
The fire destroys the ecosystem, but
leaves the soil behind. Plants begin
regrowth, and animals start
returning to feed in the ecosystem.
Biomes
Jack Conroy and White Fang, a
wolf-dog mix, rely on each other
for survival in this wilderness of
dense conifers, bitter-cold
winters, moderate precipitation,
and nutrient-poor soil. What
biome are they in?
What is another
– 10 points
Boreal Forest
name for the boreal
forest?
Taiga
Biomes
“Eight Below” was filmed in
the frigid wilderness of
Alaska, with strong winds,
low precipitation, and
permafrost. Which biome is
this?– 20 points
Tundra
What’s permafrost?
Layer of subsoil that is
permanently frozen
Biomes
What characteristics tell
you that Aladdin lives in a
desert biome? – 30 points
Aladdin
Little rain, poor soil, animals that
conserve water, ex: camels
Biomes
Pocahontas walked among
coniferous and deciduous
trees growing in fertile soil in
a temperate climate, in order
to see her beloved John
Smith. What biome is she in?
– 40 points
Temperate forest
What are coniferous and
deciduous trees?
Deciduous drop their leaves;
Conifers have cones/needles
Biomes
The Jungle Book is set in
which biome? How do you
know? – 50 points
Tropical dry forest, has wet/dry
seasons, fires, animals like tigers,
birds, and primates, that may use
hibernation or estivation
What’s estivation?
When animals in hot, dry climates go
into a dormant, inactive state to
conserve water
Aquatic Ecosystems
This zone of an ocean
ecosystem contains
important communities, like
kelp forests and coral reefs,
like those found in Finding
Nemo -10 points
Coastal Ocean
Aquatic Ecosystems
In what area of an aquatic
ecosystem are benthos
found? - 20 points
Benthic zone - The bottom
sedimentary layer of ponds,
lakes, seas or oceans
What organisms live in
the benthic zone?
Plants and animals that
are either attached to
the bottom or
swim/crawl along it
Aquatic Ecosystems
Sebastian from The Little
Mermaid is a crab, who
most likely was born and
raised in this type of
aquatic wetland that is
known for its shallow
water, large amount of
biomass, and salt-tolerant
grass/trees. -30 points
Estuary
Aquatic Ecosystems
Lilo and Stitch like to
play in the tide pools at
the beach. What
adaptations are necessary
for organisms in this
marine aquatic zone?
40 points
Adapted to air and sunlight at
low tide, changes in
temperature, battering by
waves
Additional Question:
What are examples of organisms
found in the intertidal zone?
Barnacles, starfish,
seaweed
Aquatic Ecosystems
In what oceanic zone does
this anglerfish from
Finding Nemo live, and
how is it adapted to living
in this zone?
– 50 points Aphotic open ocean; it must be
adapted to frigid temps, high
pressure, and uses the light on its
head to attract prey since it can’t
see
You have 30 seconds to write down the
answer to the following question
Final Jeopardy

not grouped into
major biomes?
Answer
• Polar ice caps and mountain ranges
