Document Summary

Patterns of climate change and climate variation, and is focused mostly on the surrounding area in ontario, for relevancy to the course. September 10th: deep geology ice ages- consequences of ice ages on canada and ontario"s geomorphology. The canadian shield is dated back to the precambrian time and before organisms appear. It is the world"s largest area of precambrian bedrock. It"s continuous and stayed together as an un- encroached landmass even when continents shifted. The canadian shield is also called the laurntien shield. The shield is low in altitude- 300m to 600m in elevation and around 1500m in baffin and. Labrador: nutrients are low because it"s old and many have been leached away from plants, and eroded away from glaciers. The soils derived from this rock are very poor. The round mountains of the georgian bay prove how glaciers affect the earth, they are very erosive.

Please Help. Thank you very much.

Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environment. Thus, a central question in ecology concerns how organisms respond to environmental variation. The flip side of this question is to ask whether the variation in characteristics of organisms is the result of variation in features of the environment. This variation can occur in space or through time.

1. Make a list of all the environmental variables that you can think of that are likely to be important to organisms. Think about plants and microbes as well as animals.

1A. One environmental change of great concern to us is climate change, specifically the prospect of human-caused global warming, a topic to which we will return. How do organisms respond to this spatial and temporal variability in the environment?

what are the implication of these studies and how are they related to one another?
