Science Flashcards
what is a renewable resource
replenished faster than consumed
what is a non renewable resource
consumed faster than replenished
5 types of renewable energy
Solar, Wind, Hydro, Tidal, Geothermal, Biomass
what factors affect the evaporation of water
Temperature, wind, surface area, humidity
4 types of none renewable energy
oil, gas, coal, nuclear
flood irrigation
Flooded and soaked by soil to irrigate plats (a lot of water evaporated)
spray irrigation
Applying water in a controlled manner (sprayed onto the plant)
drip irrigation
Slowly dripping water from a small crack in the hose allowing to drip slowly (reduces evaporation)
Habitat
A home of an organism
Biosphere
A place where life exists
Environment
Conditions affecting plants or animals in their habitat
Ecosystem
A balanced system made of organisms interacting together and with surroundings
3 positive ways to change an ecosystem
Recycling, creating habitats, Law enforcing eco friendly rules
3 negative ways to change an ecosystem
pollution, habitat deconstruction, global warming
why do we classify organisms
Easier to communicate and identify a species
