CONCEPT The Role of Individual Species 14 It was raining as we began our long hike. We took a trail to the east and left the ocean behind us. Soon we were in a large grove of eucalyptus trees. Coming out of the forest, the trail became rocky and the incline became steep. The rain had stopped, but now I was chilly. “I wish the climate would make up its mind,” I grumbled. My mother, a biologist and nature lover, gently corrected me. “Weather is what’s happening at the moment, dear. Climate is weather a certain area has over years.” Which of the following best describes why the temperature has dropped? CONCEPT Earth's Features 15 Which of the following is a renewable resource? CONCEPT Natural Resources 16 Large rocks at the back of a beach cause the wind speed to slow. Windblown sand begins to drop and build small sand piles, which create another windbreak and more sand is deposited. Gradually, salt-tolerant grasses will begin to stabilize the sand dune with a vast network of root systems. The process described is called . [Show More]
