Answer:

Describe the image:

The image represents the various classification of Earth's environment based on the altitude.  To each zone correspond a certain type of climate, where certain types of plants for example can or cannot grow.  That's called "Altitudinal zonation".  Basically, the higher you go, the colder it gets.  That's especially useful to describe the climate in tropical but mountainous regions, like Latin America.

Difference between tierra caliente and tierra fria:

Tierra caliente (warm land) level is the lowest and goes from sea level up to 2,000 or 3,000 feet depending on who you ask, and it's the perfect for fruits and most livestock for example.

Tierra fria (cold land) level starts at 6,000 feet. It's a zone where virtually no livestock can be found and only robust vegetables (like potatoes) can grow easily.

The main differences are of course their altitude but also, as a consequence of the altitude, the types of plants that can grow in each level, which are extremely different.

Answer:

The image above represents how climate zones are divided by elevation in Latin America; the higher a level is, the farther from sea level it is. Each level can support its own crops and economic activities. The tierra caliente zone, the lowest level, includes all lands below 3,000 feet. This level contains tropical climates with hot temperatures and plenty of precipitation. Rainforest ecosystems are found in this level and contain great biodiversity. Agriculture thrives in this region because crops such as sugarcane, bananas, and cacao can be grown here. This is very different from the tierra fria level, which is located between 6 and 12 thousand feet in elevation. This level contains highland climates with cool to cold temperatures and varying amounts of precipitation. Ecosystems at the top level are tundra at near 12,000 feet and forests at lower elevations. Most economic activities revolve around livestock such as llamas and alpacas and crops such as beans, wheat, and potatoes.

sammy [17]

Answer:

the Appalachian Mountain

Explanation:

The European settlers in what is now the United States quickly started to push the natives of their lands and create their colonies. As they were doing so, they started to establish towns and villages, create their own plantations, implement their rules and laws. But this was all happening along the eastern coastline and in close proximity to it. The reason for this was that they had a very big natural barrier in front of them that didn't allowed them to spread out toward the west. This natural barrier were the Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachians are a mountain range that separates almost all of the eastern coastline area from the interior of the country. These mountains are relatively high, had very dense impenetrable forests, and were very dangerous for crossing, so the Europeans avoided them until they developed better means of travel and transportation.

Write a list of as many similarities and differences as you can find between marine ecosystems, estuaries, and freshwater ecosys
Hatshy [7]

Similarities:

- Marine and freshwater ecosystems are water, covering almost 75 percent of the earth's surface.

-The most pervasive problem affecting both freshwater and marine ecosystems is pollution.

-The process of regulating the osmotic pressure on fluids inside an organism is essential to all freshwater and marine species.

Differences:

- Marine ecosystems are more diverse than freshwater ones.

- In marine or seawater, the salinity level, or the concentration of salt is greater, but freshwater is not totally void of it.

- Only 1% of the whole water body on the earth is freshwater, the other 99% is marine water.

Note- I couldn't come up with ones for estuaries, sorry.
