Across
- 4. determine boundaries between different catchment areas, influenced by tectonic activity, processes can create delineations between areas
- 6. impacts on the environment where technology is being used
- 8. allow for more intensive recreational activity in fairly natural surroundings. They are commonly located near major regional centres
- 9. out of control, spreads quickly, spot fires, hot, fast and intense but can be natural and trigger seed germination and return nutrients to soil
- 11. low and smouldering, removing excess fuel, people stay with it moving it around by had, protecting the land, takes time, really beneficial for nature
- 12. a group of the same species living in the same place that can interbreed
- 13. zoned to minimise impacts, recreational development zone, conservation and recreation zone, conservation zone, wilderness zone, reference area zone, education zone
- 14. native forests and other vegetation available for conservation, recreation and resource harvesting provide timber on a sustainable basis protection of catchments opportunities for public recreation protect and conserve native species, landscape and cultural values
- 18. majority of victorian land is privately owned and the rest is managed by various government authorities
- 19. The development and physical growth of towns and cities including residential areas, as people move to these locations.
- 20. an interacting group of various species in a common location
- 21. Extensive area of land, nationally significant because of specific flora, fauna, archaeological, historic and/or geographic features. to protect and conserve native species, landscape and cultural and historical significance, limited areas of development
- 22. too high, too much smoke and flame, no method, creates more fuel, may work in short term but has negative effects long term
Down
- 1. advancements in technology, occupation, media and the composition of families
- 2. focus on the ecological health of the whole local environment which often extends beyond the physical community borders. May also involve social, economic, and environmental conditions.
- 3. parks victoria manages approx. 17% of victoria, overseeing recreation, tourism and historical sites.
- 5. undisturbed areas containing representations of major ecosystems for undisturbed scientific investigation
- 7. different types of vegetation that grow in a certain area depending on geology, climate and position and aspect. Alpine regions have 4 distinct zones: lower slopes or tableland, montane, subalpine, and alpine. tree line etc
- 10. individual animal, plant or single celled life form
- 15. large area relatively unaltered by the European settlement of Australia and free of extractive processes to maintain undisturbed nature maintain and protect natural processes opportunities for isolated, self-reliant recreation managed for conservation, with no facilities provided for visitors and no vehicles permitted
- 16. impacts away from the location like production etc.
- 17. similar to national parks, but are generally smaller, scenic landscapes and land types complementing those found in national parks and representing the major land types of victoria
