04:02 The Biosphere:
Identify factors that determine earth's climate:
Factor 1: Elevation is a factor that contributes to earth's climate. The higher you are in the earth, the colder the climate are.
Factor 2: Latitude is a factor that can also affect earth's climate. Latitude works as the opposite of elevation, the lower you are on the ground and closer to the equator the warmer the climate gets.
Explain how climate and seasons affect earths varying biomes:
Depending on where you are in the earth, the seasonal variations have effects on the varying biomes on earth by the climate changes from the season.
Describe the habitats of coastal, freshwater, and estuary systems:
Freshwater Habitat:
The freshwater ecosystem habitat is a lentic ecosystem that is composed standing idle water. The freshwater ecosystems are to many species of fish, amphibians, water insects, and water plants in the lakes.…show more content… The coastal ecosystem supplies fish, shellfish, and seaweed for human and animal digestion. The coastal ecosystems serve more of a purpose than one person could imagine. They provide everyday kitchen supplies, fertilizer, women's cosmetics, and household products.
Estuary Ecosystem Habitat:
An estuary is a large home to hundreds of fish species, shellfish, manatees. It is a freshwater system that has lots of fresh nutrients to help flora thrive. A lot of sediments builds up in an estuary system from bars of mud forming that helps fish and birds take shelter during wind and storms. It could be described as a muddy, salty freshwater system that is a home to many aquatic species and is an excellent environment for vegetation.
