EEn.2.7 Explain how the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere individually and collectively affect the biosphere.
EEn.2.7.1 Explain how abiotic and biotic factors interact to create the various biomes in North Carolina.
EEn.2.7.2 Explain why biodiversity is important to the biosphere.
EEn.2.7.3 Explain how human activities impact the biosphere.
EEn.2.7.1 • Explain how biotic and abiotic factors determine biome classification (temperature, rainfall, altitude, type of plant, latitude, type of animals). • Compare impacts of biotic and abiotic factors on biodiversity. • Match landforms and soils (and their change over time) to biomes.
EEn.2.7.2 • Define the biosphere as all life on Earth. • Explain biodiversity as including genetic variation within populations and variation of populations within ecosystems that makeup the biosphere. • Infer the relationship between environmental conditions and plants and animals that makeup live within various biomes that comprise the biosphere. • Explain the global impact of loss of biodiversity.
EEn.2.7.3 • Explain effects of human population growth, habitat alteration, introduction of invasive species, pollution and overharvesting on various plant and animal species in NC. • Explain effects of invasive nonnative species (plant or animal) on an NC ecosystem. • Summarize ways to mitigate human impact on the biosphere.
