Study Notes
Mountain Ecosystems
- Characteristics:
- Unique and fragile ecosystems
- Support a wide range of plant and animal species
- Often have limited accessibility and harsh climate conditions
- Types of mountain ecosystems:
- Alpine meadows
- Subalpine forests
- Montane forests
- Arctic and alpine tundras
Glaciers
- Definition: large, slow-moving rivers of ice and snow
- Formation:
- Formed from compacted snow that has been transformed into ice
- Grow when snow accumulation exceeds melting
- Importance:
- Store freshwater (about 75% of the world's freshwater)
- Influence sea levels and global climate
- Support local ecosystems and hydrology
Mountain Climate Change
- Impacts:
- Rising temperatures: 0.5°C to 1°C per decade (twice the global average)
- Changes in precipitation patterns
- Increased glacier melting and sea-level rise
- Consequences:
- Loss of biodiversity and ecosystem disruption
- Changes in water availability and quality
- Increased risk of natural disasters (e.g., landslides, floods)
Mountain Biodiversity
- Hotspots:
- High levels of endemism (species found nowhere else)
- Unique adaptations to harsh environments
- Threats:
- Habitat fragmentation and degradation
- Climate change
- Human activities (e.g., mining, tourism, agriculture)
High-Altitude Geology
- Characteristics:
- Unique geological processes: weathering, erosion, and deposition
- Formation of distinctive landforms: peaks, valleys, and glaciers
- Processes:
- Uplift and denudation: formation of mountains through tectonic forces
- Weathering: breakdown of rocks into smaller particles
- Erosion: transportation of rocks and sediment by wind, water, and ice
