Study Notes
Ecosystems and Biodiversity
- The ecosystem that covers less than 10% of the Earth's surface but contains about 90% of the world's species is the coral reef ecosystem.
- Marine biodiversity is usually higher near coral reefs.
- Biodiversity is usually greater near the equator.
- Biodiversity encompasses the variety of different species of plants, animals, and microorganisms that live in an ecosystem or on Earth as a whole.
- Deforestation has had a primary result of reducing biodiversity.
Newton's Third Law of Motion
- When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object always exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
- The force pairs between objects are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- The force experienced by each object is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- The effect of forces on objects is that they always occur in pairs, with one object exerting a force on another and the second object exerting an equal and opposite force on the first.
- The relationship between force and acceleration is that force causes acceleration, and the more massive an object is, the more force is required to achieve a given acceleration.
- When one object exerts a force on another, each object experiences an equal and opposite force.
- The force pairs between objects are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- The force experienced by each object is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
- The effect of forces on objects is that they always occur in pairs, with one object exerting a force on another and the second object exerting an equal and opposite force on the first.
- The relationship between force and acceleration is that force causes acceleration, and the more massive an object is, the more force is required to achieve a given acceleration.
