Document Summary
This detailed study guide is designed to help you with the chapter quizzes! My hope is that you can use this study guide to prepare you before you take each chapter quiz and then review it for exam 1. Be familiar with the definition of environmental science. the study between the biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) components of our environment (human interaction between things in our planet). Can you give an example of each? abiotic means non living things, while biotic means living. Abiotic includes things like building structures, sunlight, and temperature. Biotic includes organisms like birds, bacteria, and humans. What is an ecological footprint? sustainability defines as the meeting of needs today without compromising the needs of future generations. Ecological footprint is the area of land and water needed to produce all the resources used and dispose/recycle all of our waste. This is typically measured in acres/hectares or blocks per capita (person).
