General vocab: anaerobic:noxygen fact: ultraviolet has higher energy, shorter wavelengths, infrared is what we get as heat, and is what is converted when stored on earth. Ecological succession = orderly process of changing biological community structure over time; occurs because organisms interact with and change their environment over time. Intermediate disturbance hypothesis = maximum species richness occurs in location characterized by disturbances whose intensities and frequencies occur at intermediate levels. **contributor to photochemical smog **damages vegetation and buildings stratospheric ozone o2 and uvc to o + o then o + o3 to o3 -ozone hole. Axial tilt changes every 40,000 years and is angle of tilt. Axial precision: changes every 20,000 years and it"s the slow wobble of earth as it spins ad it effects the seasons. Percolation = water trickles down through the soil, eventually into groundwater. Evapotranspiration = evaporation from land and water surfaces.
