The lithosphere is the solid crust or the hard top layer of the earth. It is made up of rocks and minerals and covered by a thin layer of soil. It is an irregular surface with various landforms such as mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, etc.
Four examples of human-made environments—buildings, parks, bridges, and roads.
The major components of the environment are—natural (land, air, water, living things), human-made (buildings, parks, bridges, roads, industries, monuments, etc.), and humans (individual, family, community, religion, educational, economic, etc).
The natural environment consists of land, water, air, plants and animals. Thus, the natural environment refers to both biotic (plants and animals) and abiotic (land) conditions that exist on the earth.
All plants, animals and human beings depend on their immediate surroundings. They are also interdependent on each other. This relation between the living organisms as well as the relation between the organism and their surroundings form an ecosystem.
Biotic factors Biotic factors include plants, animals, and other organisms. Abiotic factors include rocks, temperature, and humidity.
What are some of the biotic factors that scientists monitor when dealing with stream ecosystems? The biotic factors include: algae, bugs, and fish.
3 TypesBiotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem. They are sorted into three groups: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores.
2. How does biological diversity relate to the characteristics of the abiotic factors of an ecosystem? The availability of abiotic factors such as light, moisture, mineral salts, heat and carbon dioxide, more or less conditions the biodiversity of an ecosystem.
biogeochemical cycle, any of the natural pathways by which essential elements of living matter are circulated. The term biogeochemical is a contraction that refers to the consideration of the biological, geological, and chemical aspects of each cycle.
