Practice questions to consider:
1.) Explain eutrophication.
2.) What is the greenhouse effect?
3.) What are examples of Biomes? What are their biotic and abiotic components? What
are threats to their sustainability? How can sustainability be increased?
4.) What is an ecological footprint? How are they calculated? What does it mean if a
country needs more land than it has? What does it mean if a country has more land than it
needs?
5.) Explain an example of biomagnification.
6.) Explain sustainability.
