Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain as they are the top predators.

A biodiversity hotspot is an area that is both rich in species and threatened by human activities.

Acid rain is primarily caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) which react with water vapor in the atmosphere.

Habitat destruction is the leading cause of biodiversity loss as it directly removes the living spaces of many species.

Urbanization is a major cause of habitat destruction as it leads to the conversion of natural land into urban areas.

Glaciers are the main source of freshwater on Earth, storing about 68.7% of the world's freshwater supply.

The primary goal of conservation biology is to increase and protect biodiversity.

The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change.

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable materials.

Decomposers play the role of nutrient recyclers by breaking down dead organic matter and returning nutrients to the soil.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat, including the variety of species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity.

Species diversity refers to the variety of different species within a particular habitat.

Rainforests are known for having the highest biodiversity due to their warm climate and abundant rainfall.

Carbon Dioxide is the gas primarily responsible for global warming due to its greenhouse effect.

The ozone layer is located in the Stratosphere, which absorbs and scatters ultraviolet solar radiation.

Deforestation leads to soil erosion as trees that hold the soil in place are removed, making the soil more susceptible to being washed away.

Reforestation is a method of conservation that involves planting trees to restore lost forests.

Habitat restoration is a method of conserving biodiversity by restoring ecosystems to their natural state.

Stable weather patterns are NOT a consequence of climate change; in fact, climate change leads to increased variability and extreme weather events.

Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas; it does not trap heat in the atmosphere like the others.

Natural Gas is a fossil fuel and not a renewable resource.

Rainwater harvesting is a practice that helps conserve water and can support ecosystems by maintaining water levels.
