look at the photo, it wouldn't let me type it, sorry :-/
The 7 (sometimes 8) characteristics of life are:
1. living things are composed of cells
2. living things have different levels of organization
3. living things metabolize (i.e. use energy)
4. living things respond to their environment
5. living things grow
6. living things reproduce
7. living things adapt to their environment
(some sources include) 8. living things have genetic material
Viruses do not metabolize, they do not grow, they do not adapt to their environment, and they cannot reproduce independently; viruses require host cells to reproduce and perform the other functions that give them the appearance of aliveness.
it goes sedimentary rock to metamorphic is heat and pressure
then metamorphic to magma is melting and magma to igneous rock is crystallization
Thats all i got
Environmental scientists are using GPS ( It is effective but expensive) aerial monitoring (Quick but not the easiest), RFID tags, (mostly for long-term monitoring) and hidden cameras are used to study polar bear behavior without interruption to their environment.
