Questions and Answers

Which ecosystem covers less than 10% of the Earth's surface but contains about 90% of the world's species?

  • Tropical forest ecosystems (correct)
  • Desert ecosystems
  • Grassland ecosystems
  • Polar ecosystems
  • Where is marine biodiversity usually higher?

  • In the Southern Ocean where water is coldest
  • Along coasts in the Western Pacific, where sea surface temperature is highest (correct)
  • In the Arctic where sea ice is prevalent
  • In the Mediterranean Sea where salinity is highest
  • Where is biodiversity usually greater?

  • In the tropics due to warm climate and high primary productivity (correct)
  • In the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans
  • In the desert regions due to low human impact
  • In the polar regions due to extreme cold climate

    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.
