Exam 4: Climate and the World’s Biomes

Biodiversity is great at deep sea hot vents.One type of organism you would expect to see at these vents is:

In deep lakes and ponds,no light reaches the lower layer of the water column.Which of the following would you predict might take place at this bottom layer?

Which of the following accurately describes the tropical easterlies?

Summer in the ___________ biome is in part affected by temperate air masses that result from the Ferrel and Polar cells moving further north.

You have to wade into a small pond to collect specimens of insects for a research project.You notice that when you wade into the pond,the water is warm on the surface,but as you move into deeper water it is much cooler.What term describes this rapid decrease in water temperature throughout the pond?

In Figure 4.12,which species feeds primarily during Malaysia's winter months?

The spinning of the Earth affects the motion of air masses.This effect is referred to as the ________________.

If you were standing in the tropics,which direction would the prevailing winds blow?

What type of organism would you expect to find living at deep sea vents?

According to figure 4.9b,which biome has the greatest amount of precipitation and warmest temperatures?

According to Figure 4.30,where would expect primary productivity to be greatest?

Using Figure 4.12,which animal species would you speculate might be a specialized feeder?

Which direction do prevailing surface winds blow in temperate latitudes?

Which biome would you expect to have the greatest amount of biodiversity?

According to figure 4.9b,which biome has the least amount of precipitation and warmest temperatures?

You discover that a species of bacteria is found in all individuals of a species of fish you have studied.It appears that this bacteria lives inside of the fish species,and that it provides this species of fish with some nutrients.What term best describes the role of this bacteria?

The Ferrel cells are found:

Which of the following are responsible for how heat moves across Earth :

Using Figure 4.12,hypothesize which animal would be the most generalist feeder.

Large masses of semi-isolated surface water surrounded by a circular current of water moving clockwise would be which of the following?
