VISUAL VOCABULARY SLIDES (EVAPOTRANSFORMATION - FAMILY PLANNING)
Fatmeh AliDr, Janell Simpson AP Environmental Science 9 April 2012
Evapotranspiration The combined amount of evaporation
and transpiration Application:
Ecosystem Ecology
Evolution A change in the genetic composition of
a population over time Application:
Evolution of biodiversity
Evolution by Artificial Selection A change in the genetic composition of
a population over time as a result of humans selecting which individuals breed, typically with preconceived set of traits
Application: Evolution of Biodiversity
Evolution by Natural Selection A change in the genetic composition of
a population over time as a result of the environment determining which individuals are most likely to survive
Application: Evolution of Biodiversity
Exotic Species (Alien Species) A species living outside its historical
range Application:
Invasive Species
Experimental Growth Model Nt=N0^rt A growth model that estimates a
population’s future size(Nt), after a period of time (t), based on the intrinsic growth rate(r) and the number of reproducing individuals currently in the population (N0)
Application: Population and Community Ecology
Externality The cost or benefit of a good or service
that is not included in the purchase price of that food or service
Application Land, public and private
Extinction The death of last member of species Application:
Conservation of Biodiversity
Extrusive Igneous Rock Rock that forms when magma cools
above Earth’s surface Application:
Rocks and Minerals
Exurban An area similar to a suburb, but
unconnected to any central city or densely populated area
Application: Expansion of Residential Land Use
Family Planning The practice of regulating the number
or spacing of an offspring through the use of birth control
Application: The Human Population
