Earth's Environment
Across
- 2. hazard - Natural phenomenon with lasting negative impact on the Earth's environment, usually resulting from interior processes, or severe weather.
- 5. - when a species of plant or animal no longer exist in the biosphere due to human or global stress.
- 6. - the capacity of an ecosystem to respond to a perturbation or disturbance by resisting damage and recovering quickly.
- 8. wave - a longitudinal earthquake wave that travels through the interior of the earth and is usually the first conspicuous wave to be recorded by a seismograph.
- 9. - the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other plants) occupied by living organisms.
- 11. - the number of different species of plants and animals in an area.
Down
- 1. scale - a scale of tornado severity with numbers from 0-6, based on the degree of observed damage.
- 3. scale - A numerical scale for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake on the basis of seismograph oscillations.
- 4. relationships - relationship in which two organisms are mutually dependent on each other for survival.
- 7. - The process of migration of new species into an ecosystem after a disruptive event.
- 9. - in a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in.
- 10. wave - A wave motion in a solid medium where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the travel of the wave; vibrate at right angles to the direction of the seismic wave.
