All of the living and nonliving things in an environment make up: an ecosystem polluting ponds, Everything in an ecosystem depends on everything else. Humans often chopping down forests, destroy ecosystems by: etc. The specific place an organism has in the food web is the organism's: niche The niche of every organism is different, and an organism's niche changes as what it does, what it it grows. A niche is the organism's role in the community, and includes: eats, and what eats it. All organisms have _________ that allow it to survive in its environment. adaptations Structural adaptations are __________ that help an organism survive, like body parts long beaks, webbed feet, camouflage. Behavioral adaptations are things that organisms do to survive. Examples of migration, hibernation, behavioral adaptations are: instincts, etc The measure of the amount of heat energy in the atmosphere is: temperature The amount of moisture in the air is: humidity The weight of the air causes: air pressure Air circulates around the Earth in big chunks called: air masses The boundary between two air masses is called a: front steady rain or drizzle A warm front occurs when a warm air mass pushes out a cold mass. A warm followed by warmer front usually brings: temperatures. a short period of heavy A cold front occurs when a cold air mass pushes out a warm air mass. A rain or thunder, followed cold front usually brings: by clear colder weather. A falling barometer often means: rainy weather ahead. 106. What kind of brings stormy weather, thunderstorms, and Cumulonimbus sometimes even tornadoes? Puffy white clouds that look like cotton balls are: cumulus clouds High, thin, wispy clouds are: cirrus clouds Which cloud forms a gray blanket over the sky, often bringing steady rain or stratus cloud drizzle? This instrument measures air pressure is a: barometer This instrument measures wind speed: anemometer
