- adaptation [adapt/change]
- any structural or behavioral change that helps an organism survive in its environment[the snowy owl adapted to the cold weather]
- global warming [warm world]
- increase in average global temperatures of the Earth [the world is getting warmer]
- deforestation [destroy forest]
- destruction and cutting down of forests resulting in increased atmospheric CO2 levels [destroying the forest increases carbon dioxide!]
- Climate [climb]
- average weather pattern over a long period of time [weather does not climb it has a pattern over years]
- tropics [tropical]
- climate zone that receives the most radiation (located between 23N and 23S)[tropical places are hot because of lots of solar radiation]
- greenhouse effect [growing plants]
- natural heating that occurs when certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.[growing plants may like the heating of the earth]
- seasons [four seasons]
- a short period of climate change caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it revolves around the sun[the four seasons are caused by tilting earth]
- temperate zones [between t and p]
- climate zones with moderate climate located between the tropics and polar zones[temperate zones are between tropics and polar, look at the word temperate.. it begins with t for tropics.. em then p for polar zone]
- polar zone[polar bear]
- climate zones that receive solar radiation at a low angle ( located from 66N-S to the poles)[polar bears like the cold areas that have the least solar radiation]
- El Nino[kid]
- climate event that begins in the tropical Pacific Ocean; can disrupt normal temperatures and precipitation[the weather is acting like a trouble-making kid]
- hibernation [bear]
- behavioral adaptation for winter survival in which an animal's activity is greatly reduced, its body temp. drops, and body processes slow down[the bear's temperature dropped and he slowed down to make it through the winter]
