answer:
The current global climate is not stable, as not enough is done to ensure it is stable. Firstly, there the use of new technology, mass production and other factors that increase to output of greenhouse gases are still increasing, and the use of electricity is still increasing. Because of this, more gases are released into the atmosphere, leading to global warming. Factories, especially in devloping countries have no limit on how much greenouse gases they produce. Many forests are being cut down, too much oil and natural gas is being extracted, as well as coal and other gems. All these factors are not being reduced, therefore the global climate system is still not stable.


answer:
Gases which are emitted from cars, houses..etc, which travel up the atmosphere and adds to the warming of the earth, called the greenhouse effect. They include carbon dioxide and water vapour.
It's important that we learn in detail how they are affecting us so we can take action in saving the planet.


answer:
A continuous cycle of carbon travelling from plants to animals, to dirt, and back again. It provides plannts with the nutrition they need to grow and produce glucose. Since plants are the primary producers of the food chain, the animals above it, including humans, are dependant on plants.


answer:
Different. Weather is the state of atmosphere at a particular place and time e.g.: sun, wind and rain, while climate is the weather characteristics of a particular place over an extended period of time, e.g.: desert climate, tropical climate.


answer:
It can be predicted to an extent, but not 100% accurate. Although satellites can see what might happen, e.g.: clouds in the sky means rain, weather patterns are subjected to change at any particular time.


answer:
Yes, the climate remains constant over time, unless if there are sudden and intense changes to the earth, an example being an ice age. 
There are also patterns of climate patterns across the world.


answer:
How a change made by humans, changes in the earth's dynamics... etc affect the climate on earth as a whole, or at a particular area of the world. It is how the climate changes, positively or negatively.


answer:
Forests are an example, as they don't change much. There are limited flucatuations within the temperature, water source, proportion of gases in the air within a climate.


answer:
Emergent forest tree tops. It is when the ecosystem in a particular climate grows in layers, forming emergents.


answer:
Greenhouse effect/ global warming. When everyone in the world is affected in the world's climate change.


answer:
No, the earth is slowly warming up due to the extra gases in the atmosphere.


answer:
This is technically possible, as the movement of a small amount of air moves another amount of air, which eventually moves another, and eventually a large amount of air is moving in a similar direction. When this happens, is temperatures and other climactic conditions in Alaska are optimum, the amount of air from Brazil can move air in Alaska, picking up greater adn greater speed and size as it travels. thus by the time that it reaches the area of Alaska which is prime for a snowstorm, it is quite powerful. Then, if the air is added to those prime conditions, a snowstorm could occur


answer:
To an extreme extent, i believe that the possiblity of a butterfly flapping its wings in brazil can cause a snowstorm in Alaska is highly unlikely as it is near impossible for the release of the air from a butterfly could lead to a snowstorm that is located miles of kilometers away. If the amount of air displaced could launch an avalanche, the whole world should have collapsed ages ago due to the movement of living things. how many butterflies are there in brazil? how many of them are going to open their wings to take flight at least once in their life? what would that cause?


answer:
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon doxide, are named so for their 'green house' effect, where the Earth's atmosphere traps the gases and doesn't allow them to esccape. This trapping keeps the warmth from the sunlight in, heating up the Earth's surface.
These are important because without these gases, habitual temperatures would not be created - it would be extremely hot in the day time and extremely cold in the night.


answer:
The cycle in which carbon follows - from one stage to another.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather is based on temperature, humidity, amount of sunlight, etc that can change frequently. Climate, on the other hand, is the environmental state a place is. For example, the climate in a desert could be hot, dry, arid while in a rain forest it would be humid, cool. While weather in a desert usually remains stable, it could rain, but that doesn't make the climate the same.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent - at the most by a week, however it is still a prediction and is a complicated process to calculate. Weather is extremely unpredictable; there are too many varying factors to able to predict with certainty.


answer:
Climate can be predicted to a certain extent based on current states and long-term effects, however, like weather, climate is unpredictable.


answer:
When something is given back/out/as residue/remainders as a result of something else, like rain, heat, etc.


answer:
This is not possible because the size of the air being jiggled is only a tiny fraction of the air needed to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
No, this is not possible. A butterfly is too small and the amount of air that can be 'jiggled' is not significant enough to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases produced (unnaturally) that are released into our atmosphere, from various stations. The gases released into the atmosphere consist of various gases, primarily C02. These gases are beneficial to our survival as without these gases, we would not be alive, and the conditions on earth would not be suitable for human life.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of which carbon travels in a circle through plants, organisms and the atmosphere.


answer:
Weather and climate are different, as weather is the term used to describe the temparatures, wind and atmosphere patterns on a certain day, date, location and time however climate is the term used to describe temperature, wind and atmosphere patterns at a particular location over an extended period of time - around 30 years.


answer:
Weather can be predicted, however not entirely accurately as the patterns of weather are unpredictable. Weather can be predicted up to a few days before the date of the weather prediction, however it cannot be predicted any earlier.


answer:
Climate can somewhat be predicted, however not entirely. It depends on factors that we humans can see as contributing to the change of climate, but we do not know everything that will occur.


answer:
Our current global climate system is not stable; it is constantly changing. The climate of our earth is slowly becoming warmer and warmer by an average of around 1 degree each year.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the earth's atmosphere (or the thermal range). Some of the greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, argon, methane and water vapour. Greenhouse gases are important because they trap in warm air which keeps the Earth's temperature constant and able to sustain life. The process of trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere is known as the GREENHOUSE EFFECT.


answer:
Weather and climate are different things. Climate describes the total of all weather occuring over a period of years (e.g 30 years).


answer:
Weather can be predicted but it is not always accurate. There are many variables


answer:
The greehouse gases are gases that heat the earth and can be trapped in the earth's atmosphere. It is important because it keeps the earth's environment warm and the right temperature for life.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle in which carbon is trapped and released. It is important because


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same. Weather is the day to day atmospheric conditions in a certain place while climate is the general weather of a place.


answer:
Yes it can. Weather systems can be predicted through synoptic charts and examining how the weather system has been moving.


answer:
Climate cannot be predicted because it s the average/general weather of a place. It is fgured out by something that has already happened.


answer:
No,it is not. The global warming is becoming increasingly evident, and due to that the sea levels can rise.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are like carbon dioxide. They are gases which get sent into our atmosphere.


answer:
No, they are different. The weather explains the temperature of the air surrounding us. Climate is the atmosphere around us.


answer:
Yes weather can be predicted. However, because the weather easily changes, it is only able to be predicted around a week before the actual date.


answer:
No, the climate of a place stays the same.


answer:
I really don't know. Climate change is too hard. Sorry


answer:
Depends if you're an optimist or a pessimist.


answer:
i don't think that this is possible. if a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a snow storm, then people who live on the other side of the world from helicopters are stuffed. also the world is such a big place that something as small as a butterfly would have little or no affect on the world as a whole


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that prevent heat from escaping the planet. It is important as it keeps Earth warm, otherwise it would probably be -19 degrees celsius at night.


answer:
A carbon cycle is the cycle where carbon from our atmosphere is absorbed by plants and trees then is stored in the tree. When the tree is cut down, the carbon is released into our atmosphere and the cycle begins again. It is important as the increased deforestation of our trees occur, more carbon is released into our atmosphere, hence more heat is trapped, thus the changing climate.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. 
Weather is the conditions of air and heat over a place at a certain time whereas climate is the weather patterns over an extended period of time.


answer:
No, weather cannot be predicted as often there is no set pattern (ie. which way the winds will blow). 
However, I think that it is possible to estimate the weather over a set period of time.


answer:
No. 
No one can look into the future, hence they cannot predict it. However, I think it can be estimated.


answer:
It is to do with balance? I'm actually clueless...um, I sorry.


answer:
I don't think our global climate system is stable because it is continuously being affected by the increased release of carbon.


answer:
I don't think so. A butterfly flapping its wings doesn't even have the power to knock a fly sitting on a window.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the air that absorb or emmit radiation within the Earth's atmosphere. It traps in warm air.


answer:
Weather and climate are different things.


answer:
I think weather can be predicted to an extent, but we currently do not have the technology or knowledge to figure out how to properly predict the correct weather. It is a natural cause that is extremely unpredicatable at moments, changing from one to another in the matter of minutes and even seconds.


answer:
Climate may only be predicted through charts, diagrams, graphs and information that scientists have already covered. Although the results and predictions that they concur with may not be correct or even precise, it can still somewhat be predicted.


answer:
I have no knowledge of what a 'dynamic equilibrium' is.


answer:
Many scientists and skeptics argue about whether ths climate system is currently stable or not. In my opinion, there is a reasonable amount of climate change within the Earth's atmosphere, but not a large, or significant amount. I believe that the current global climate system is stable, but not to a point where we do not need to conduct experiments or recover information about it. Many scientists are currently undergoing an immense amount of research in order to create results and conclusions on how our global climate system is coping, and I think that this issue is something we should keep an eye out for in the future.


answer:
I believe that this is not possible because the strength of the butterflys' wings are not able to create a snowstorm.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that get trapped in the atmosphere and make the earth warmer. They are important because they maintain a temperature that allows life.


answer:
Never heard of it, but I think it is the cycle of carbon being taken in and oxygen released (plants), or oxygen being taken in and oxygen released (humans).


answer:
Weather is short term things like predicting rain or temperatures. Climate is long term; it takes into account the past 30 years and all extremes of weather that may occur.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but is not 100% correct. Also, weather predictions are usually only accurate 2 or 3 days into the future. e.g. Tomorrow there will be possible afternoon showers.


answer:
Climate can be predicted but it may not be accurate. Climate predictions are broad e.g. over the next 5 years average temperatures will increase by 1 degree.


answer:
I don't know. I've never heard of 'feedback in climate systems'.


answer:
examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems include enough forestry for animals to live in.


answer:
I don't know. I've never heard of 'emergent properties'.


answer:
Common species of animals or plants become endangered or extinct.


answer:
I believe this may be partly true- there are many examples of flora and fauna displaying change in their behaviour due to changes in temperature, air pressure and other elements to do with the atmosphere.
Thus the reasoning in this statement-that butterflies flapping cause jiggling in the air- I believe is not true.
Perhaps the changes in atmospheric pressure or temperature in Brazil lead to butterflies acting in a irregular way, and due to that condition, the snow storm happens.
Therefore this is not possible directly by the butterflies as the statement suggests.


answer:
greenhouse gases are gases that are bad for the environment like carbon dioxide and fossil fuels.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon renewal? it is important because it affects our environment.


answer:
they are different because weather is temperature and forecasts whereas climate is something else,


answer:
weather can be predicted but only into a certain amount of time.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil and higgling the air most likely would not contribute to a snowstorm in Alaska, because one small butterfly contributing to movement of air could not help cause a snowstorm; a human walking would probably cause more air movement than a butterfly flapping its wings, and human movement has never been shown to contribute to any form of snowstorm or natural phenomenon.


answer:
When the butterfly flaps its wings, it creates a movement in the air and a building pressure of the air. The air is pushed north with the cells like the Hadley Cell and grows more and more strong, while it moves. It is like a snowball rolling down a snowy hill, it gains momentum and gets bigger and stronger. When it gets to Alaska, the movement it creates is so strong that it is able to create tremors so strong that it can cause other problems, like avalanches and snowstorms?


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are trapped in the atmosphere. They are important, as they help keep the atmosphere within the Earth warm, but they can also lead to climate change.


answer:
The carbon cycle is cycle of which carbon dioxide goes around. We breathe out carbon dioxide, but the trees take in the carbon dioxide as they grow, and convert it into oxygen for us to breathe. Carbon dioxide can be released into the atmosphere through different means, such as from factories. Carbon dioxide can lead to climate change.


answer:
Weather and climate are different from one another. Weather is the type of condition that a place experiences, regardless of duration or time. However, climate looks at the type of weather that a place experiences during regulations of time. For example, climate looks at the type of weather that a place has, on the same month each year.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to an extent. Weather cannot be predicted for (approximately) more than a week in advance, however weather forecasts can guess what type of weather will occur.


answer:
Climate can be predicted to an extent, just like weather. Looking back on the data from a specific place, people can gather and predict what will be the most likely result of weather pattern.


answer:
Some examples of feedback in climate systems include places that do not equate or agree to the typical definition of climate.


answer:
Examples of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems are places of equal state of balance in nature.


answer:
Examples of emergent properties in climate systems include places that are emerging to become involved in climate systems.


answer:
I've never heard of 'tragedy of the commons' before, but I guess that it means that some things are were common once before are slowly but surely deteriorating?


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable, as climate change is occuring.


answer:
this is not possible because when a butterfly flaps its wings, it only creates a small amount of wind which doesnt do anything.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings starts a chain reaction that may, in the most drastic possiblity, create a snowstorm in Alaska on the other side of the world. As the butterfly 'jiggle(s) the air', the wind that is created may grow larger due to the movements of other air currents in the atmosphere. If in the highly unlikely chance that all the air currents are positioned in the right spot to 'grow' the 'jiggle' in the air, there might as well be a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Although I do not know the answer, I do not think that it seems possible. This is because it seems hardly realistic, and the two locations are extremely distant from each other.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in our atmosphere that absorb heat that is given from the sun, reflected off the Earth's surface and into the atmosphere. Examples of such gases are Carbon Dioxide and Methane. These gases are mportant to our survival because without them, the current temperature of our atmosphere would be about -14 to -15 degrees celsius. Contrary to popular belief, greenhouse gases are in fact good for our environment and are actually crucial for our survival becaus ethey keep our entire world climate, on average, a warm temperature.


answer:
The cycle of which carbon is created and destroyed and then made up again.


answer:
No they are not. Weather is usually refered to short term climate. Weather usually includes descriptions such high and low pressure systems and wind systems and weather is constantly changing. Climate hower is more constant and refers to the long term effects of weather. Climate is usually used to describe temperature, and humidity.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to some degree. Meteorologists do it all the time as they try to recognise the pattern in which the whether is making. This is how we make weather reports. However, weather can be very unpredictable because predicting the weather is basically predicting the future. Weather patterns are always changing, when it is predicted for a clear day, a small wind may come by and the whole day becomes a dark and stormy one.


answer:
Climate can be predicted as it is long term


answer:
Can refer to some weather related things that are equal and are quite DYNAMIC.


answer:
No. We cannot rely on the climate to stay stable as we, humans, are interfering with it.


answer:
I do not think that it is possible. This is because a butterfly does not have the capability to exert a force that is enough to contribute to a snowstorm. The force of the movement of a butterfly would be extremely minimal. Also, the locations are extremely far apart, and there is not much of a chance that such a small movement in the air can travel so far, and also cause a snowstorm.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that are trapped in the earth which are essential to the earth. However too much of greenhouse gases can cause harm to the earth such as causing the earth the be over heated. Green house gases keep the Earth warm as if we did not have it, the earth would be very cold. Normally green house gases are caused by natural substances such as trees, but with new technology coming in, such as cars, more green house gases are being emitted into the air.


answer:
The carbon cycle is a cycle of continuous carbon which goes through different things such as trees and plants.


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same. Climate is a description of an area while weather is the condition.


answer:
Yes to some point. Climate can be predicted on a short term basis, but however we can't normally predict for more than a week in time. Climate can be predicted by looking at movement of clouds and therefore seeing the weather systems such as high pressure and low pressure systems. These can not be foreseen in the long run as it constantly changes and is very unpredictable.


answer:
Climate can be predicted through data of what has happened before.


answer:
No they are not because there is still natural disasters.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that prevent some warmth rebounding off the earth in order to keep the Earth a certain temperature. This is important as without Greenhouse gases, the Earth would be inhabitable for living beings and temperatures would be in the cold extremes.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the exchanging amounts of carbon around the earth. The ocean currently holds the highest amount of carbon on Earth.


answer:
Weather and Climate is different as Weather is the subject on whether it would rain or snow. Climate on the other hand is the average temperature of a certain place. Not only that but what kind of weather that place receives. e.g. the Sahara Desert has a hot and dry climate.


answer:
It can be predicted but only to a certain amount. The most one can predict ahead for the weather is about a week. And even then it might be incorrect. With growing technology, forecasts have been getting more reliable but as weather cannot be controlled there is no absolute way to predict it.


answer:
It is slowly becoming unstable due to emissions and climate change, hence it is called climate change as climate is changing. Birds that are migrating to breed are missing out the times of the year when the caterpillars come out.


answer:
It allows the Earth to stay the temperature that it is. It traps heat and allows things to live. It is a collective term for the gases that exist in the atmosphere, including carbon.


answer:
Weather refers to the short term atmospheric patterns, whereas climate refers to more long terms ones.


answer:
Weather can be 'predicted' to a certain degree, however, everything is a prediction, rather than a certainty. Conclusions are made from information that is collected.


answer:
To a certain extent? The same as weather.


answer:
No. This is because of climate change, and the effect of human beings on the planet (pollution, etc, etc)


answer:
No  because this is a ridiculous proposition to assume that a little bit of air can cause a massive snowstorm in a country halfway across the world. dont really know much else :)


answer:
Butterflies are very small creature and are quite weak in terms of strength. 

Their wings simply do not have enough power or force to cause such a dramatic impact.
 Also, Brazil is too far from Alaska and even if the wings of the butterfly had such strength, it would almost be impossible for the force to reach Alaska from such a distance. 

Therefore, it is impossible for a 'butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil' to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that rise into the atmoshpere. They are important to the atmoshpere to protect the world from harmful UV rays.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the recycler of caron atoms. It is important because there are trees/plants that use the carbon dioxide we breathe out to turn into oxygen that we breathe in. This provides a habitable earth for humans and trees/plants.


answer:
No because weather is a daily measure and climate is a much more prolonged measure of information.


answer:
Yes it can be but sometimes the prediction may not be correct. Meterologists can determine weather from looking at cloud patterns and air pressure ect.


answer:
Yes because there is a pattern seen in climate from previous recorded results from years ago.


answer:
If the weather is becoming warmer.
If the icecaps are melting.


answer:
Polar bears having a thick coat to adapt to the cold ice caps.
Penguins having streamlined body to swim in the cold ocean for food.


answer:
No because it is very unpredictable of what humans will use of the environment and the weather patterns for the future.


answer:
I think it could help a very tiny bit because the butterfly could make the water particles in the air travel to the sky a little bit more faster.


answer:
I don't think that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm. The wind made by the flapping of the wings is very little and the distance between Brazil and Alaska is very large. Even if the air movement made by the butterfly travelled to Alaska, I do not believe that it would help cause a snowstorm. I do not believe that snowstorms are aggravated or worsened by wind.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that trap heat into the earth. They are important because without them, there would be no life on earth. Greenhouse gases enable the earth to be at the ideal temperature that allows life to live.


answer:
The carbon cycle is when carbon is stored in dead plants and animals, then burnt as coal for energy and released into the atmosphere. it is important because it demonstrates how burning coal can affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


answer:
Weather and climate are two different things. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere in the present. Climate is the average conditions experienced in a specific area.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to an extent. Weather for the next 10 days can be predicted, but predictions are not always accurate. Weather patterns are predicted using meters and satellite images. Meteorologists use these to predict weather.


answer:
Climate cannot be predicted because it is the average conditions of a specific area. The climate of an area does not change as it is determined from past data and is only an average. The climate of an are will not change unless drastic changes occur.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems are the effects of climate systems. Examples of these are droughts, tropical cyclones, typhoons, and hurricanes.


answer:
Dynamic equilibroum is the balance of aspects in climate systems in order for it to work properly.


answer:
The current climate system is not stable as the excess of greenhouse emissions alters the natural global climate system.


answer:
It has been said that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. I've read about this in a book, and I heard that it's called 'The Butterfly Effect'. Personally, I do think that this is possible, due to this reason: Everything is interconnected. The affects of something in one country can help cause a significant change in another country, as everything is connected to each other, despite distance.


answer:
The amount of energy needed to cause a snowstorm is quite a bit, so it is more likely than not, that a butterfly cannont cause a snowstorm just by flapping its wings. Also, the air currents shouldn't be able to be controlled by a flap of a butterfly's wings.
But if it was true, it would be called the 'Butterfly Effect'


answer:
It has been said that a butterrfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. I think that this is possible, as one butterfly can cause particles in the air to move, thus creating a chain reaction all the way to cause a snowstorm in Alaska. I think that it is extremely unlikely though.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g. carbon dioxide. The greenhouse gases are important in order to create a life-supporting atmosphere. If greenhouse gases didn't exist, there would be no life on Earth. They absorb energy from the sun,then they trap it in the atmosphere, as part of the Greenhouse Effect. Most of this gase occur naturally in the atmosphere.


answer:
When the trees take in the carbon dioxide, they release into the air another gas called oxygen which not only do we need in order to live, but also every single living creature need. Therefore the carbon cycle is an important part of our world as it is the cycle that supports our life.


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same. The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what the condition of the atmosphere is over a short amount of time while climate is how the atmosphere behaves over a reletively long amount of time.


answer:
yes weather can be predicted. This is why we have meteorologist. They study the weather and it is reported to us through the news in the weather report. however it is only possible to predict to a certain length of time.


answer:
climate can be predicted only to some aspects. Climate in the future can be predicted when we look at graphs with the previous datas. We can guess what our climate will be like in a few years. However it won't be 100% accurate.


answer:
SORRY I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT ME TO WRITE


answer:
Its not very stable as it is rising up to highly than the normal rate.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that exist in Earth's atmosphere for the purpose of trapping sunlight and thereby warming the Earth. these include methane, gas commonly found as a waste product of digestion in animals. Greenhouse gases form a layer above the Earth which acts like the walls of a greenhouse, trapping sunlight, and forcing it to bounce off, and hit the Earth. When the sun's rays hit the Earth, they warm the area touched, and then partially bounce back up, bouncing again off the greenhouse layer and onto another part of the Earth's surface. This effectively warms the Earth. Without this, life on Earth would be impossible, as all living creatures require some semblance of heat, and all to some degree require sunlight. This may be in the form of Vitamin D, as is the case with humans, or as the energy required for photosynthesis as is the case for plants.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the transformation of carbon through various forms, eventually repeating itself.


answer:
No, they are not. Weather refers to occurrences in the atmosphere above a specific area at a certain time, and their effects upon the area of the Earth's surface below, whether this is a rapid cooling of air, leading to precipitation in the form of rainfall or snow, or a lack of moisture in the air, leading to a warm and cloudless day. However, climate refers to a sustained period of weather in a specific area, for specific periods of time, repeated often.


answer:
Weather can be predicted in that signs in the atmosphere can give an indication of atmospheric events to come, however, the prediction of weather is often restricted to very short notice, as occurrences can change very fast, and thus completely alter predictions for the future.


answer:
Climate can generally be predicted since climate in itself refers to a repeated pattern of weather occurrence, and thus events in the present must be indicative both of those that have been in the past, and those that are yet to come. For example, in Sydney, when it is April, and thus Autumn, due to knowledge of Sydney's climate, it can be predicted that by June, weather will have cooled down significantly and there will be greater amounts of precipitation.


answer:
No, because due to the amount of waste being pumped into the Earth's atmosphere by major corporations, in search of greater profit, certain areas of the greenhouse layer are being slowly eroded, allowing greater escape of sunlight out of the atmosphere, and thus Earth's heating capabilities in those areas is being lessened, while in other areas, the greenhouse layer is being added to and thus those areas have increased levels of heating. This is not stable because sooner or later an area of the world is going to become too cold for habitation and another too hot, as well as all the consequences following from that, such as the melting of glaciers and the extinction of certain species of flora and fauna.


answer:
no because butterflies are found everywhere why would one specific butterfly in brazil be able to control the weather it just DOESNT MAKE SENSE does air even jiggle

a wing flapping butterfly probably doesn't have enough of a significant effect on the temperature and formation of snowstorm making clouds to assist in such a thing

BUT THEN AGAIN the forces of biology(and physics) are strong and mysterious if one can of bug spray thing can reach the birds in the north or south pole the trigger of an alaskan snowstorm may as well be a flying bug in the tropical land of brazil


answer:
No, it is not possible because a butterfly flapping its wings only has the force to lift its own body, not control the air pressure/wind of Alaska.If the butterfly is flapping its wings, it would also have to flap its wings continously and that is not possible for a butterfly as it will become tired.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are what keep our Earth warm enough for humanity to live in. Without it, the Earth would be too cold, but with it, Earth can reach temperatures which can suit to our survival, which is around 24~28 degrees celcius. Greenhouse gases consist of many different forms of gases, one of the main being carbon dioxide, which can be emitted through many sources such as the burning of fossil fuels. The Earth receives heat form the sun and the surface of the Earth collects this heat, but this heat escapes. To make sure all of this heat doesn't disappear from Earth, the Greenhouse gases block the heat from being let out into space.


answer:
Weather and climate are quite different things. The climate is what usually affects the weather and changes it. The weather changes in response to the climate.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain extent through modern technologies that have to do with the atmosphere, but may not be 100% accurate.


answer:
Just like the weather, I believe that the climate can be predicted as well, but not in the way that weather is predicted. To predict climate, graphs or data are needed and we need to analyse the trend, and therefore predict the future climates that will follow.


answer:
I don't think that the current global climate system is stable. I believe that the climate is gradually changing due to various reasons.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil, jiggling the air and thus causing a snowstorm in alaska can be possibnle. As the movement of air caused by the wings flapping can cause a change of air current


answer:
Greenhouse Gases consist of the particles of gases in our atmosphere. Oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and other gases help to keep the Earth warm.

However, the increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere can in fact destroy parts of the ozone layer and allow the sun's rays to reach the earth's surface, heating it up more.

It is important that we are well informed about the Greenhouse Gases in order to to keep the earth at a desirable condition for future generations.


answer:
The carbon cycle is also known as the water cycle (?)

It is the cycle where the water evaporates and and turns into gas, rising high into the atmosphere where it cools and condenses. This is when clouds form in our skies.

Eventually when enoguh water has evaporated, it falls the the surface of the earth again as rain or hail or snow. 

The cycle repeats itself over and over again (water condenses and becomes cloud and then rains, water condenses and becomes cloud and then rains...)

It is important that we know what the carbon cycle is in order to understand more about our weather and how climate change and global warming can have an effect on this cycle.


answer:
no. (but im not ure how i can explain this...)

weather is more related to water we can see (?), for example rain, snow and hail.

climate is related to the temperature and waht we feel (?)


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a certain level but this prediction is not definite. Many times our weather is unpredictable.

This is due to the fact that our weather is unique and it all depends on the movement of the clouds due to winds an climatic events that are present.


answer:
again, this can be predicted to a certain level but this prediction is not always correct. our climate depends on what is currently happening to the earth in terms of temperature, weather, etc and much of this changes suddenly wihout notice.


answer:
green house gases is what keeps our earth warm, it traps in warm air thus making our planet a place that is inhabitable.It is important that we have green house gases so that we do not live in a place where it is extremely cold. Green house gases contribute to the growth of fauna, plants need s certain temperature to grow regularly, plants help us recycle carbon dioxide, thus there is a long chain of factors that rely on green house gases to function properly that is why green house gases are so important.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle that carbon is goes through, it starts of with us producing carbon dioxide, the fauna then recycles this and produce oxygen for us to breathe in. The carbon cycle is important because if there is not enough carbon that is recycled and turned into clean oxygen, the earth will be polluted with carbon dioxide.


answer:
weather and climate are different, climate changes over a long period of time and the conditions there to not change regularly however weather is something that changes constantly, it may sometimes contribute to climate.


answer:
weather can be predicted it is history that has been played over a long period of time, things such as rain and wind can be predicted because it does not vary dramatically, meteorologists have been studying past weather for a long period of time and have been able to compare the past weather and predict the future weather using this information.


answer:
climate can be predicted, however there are many variables that may change climate, climate is something that does not happen at a fast pace, things such as desert have been changing for a long period of time, thus it makes it rather easy to predict climate, unlike weather that changes at a rapid pace.


answer:
our current climate system is not stable, the increase of carbon being emitted from industrial purposes have cause our climate to change at a fast pace, the carbon in the air has increase thus leading to green house gases to increase as well, and because of this our earth has been warming at a fast pace. There are already evidence that our earth has indeed increase such as the melting of ice caps in the colder regions.


answer:
gases that are in the atmosphere. the are a result from human actions. they warm up the surface of the earth and the atmosphere. i dont know


answer:
the cycle of carbon going around the world. starts in atmosphere to humans to animal to rocks to rivers then goes back into the air and back down to the humans. i dont know


answer:
different. climate is the long term conditions of an area eg. monthly rainfall and weather is the short term condition


answer:
yes it can be but it may not always be accurate


answer:
not really because its long term so its goes througha period of time


answer:
whats a dynamic equilibrium in climate systems>?


answer:
tragedy of commons. idunno. sometihng bad that happened to the common occurences during climate? :D


answer:
nup. it aint stable since us humans keeping creating bad gases into the atmosphere that increase the temperature of the earth. and if we keep doing this, the earth will heat upand become tooooo hot. too haht.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat radiating from the earth when they are released into the atmosphere. An example of a greenhouse gas is methane or carbon.
Greenhouse gases are important because without them, there would be no life on Earth because the heat would escape from the Earth. However, if there is too much greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, the Earth would overheat so it is important that we know and try to manage how much greenhouse gas we release into the Earth's atmosphere.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the process of how carbon is used on Earth. Humans and animals produce carbon and release it into the atmosphere in return for oxygen. The carbon is then used by plants and trees. When trees and plant die, their fossils turn into coal overtime, which is how we are able to get coal from burning fossil fuels. Sometimes when trees are cut and the wood is used for consturction, the carbon is contained inside but when the wood decays, the carbon is released back into the atmosphere. It is important because since carbon is a greenhouse gas, it affects the general heating of the Earth- and because we burn coal for energy that produces carbon, we need to watch how much carbon we produce.


answer:
Weather is used to describe the conditions of recent or current times. Climate is the general weather pattern over a long period or time or the weather pattern experienced in a certain place.


answer:
Weather can be quite unpredictable but scientists can predict the weather of the current time period ( like the following week, which is shown on weather forecasts) but it is subject to change.


answer:
It is difficult to predict the weather but the climate for a certain place can have a certain trend or pattern or characteristic that people can expect from the weather, for example, some places (maybe closer to the Equator) can be expected to be more humid and warm than places further away from the Equator.


answer:
The current state of our global climate is somewhat unstable. The amount of carbon we are emitting into the atmosphere has dramatically increased over recent years dues to the demand for more energy. The result of this is that more greenhouse gases are being emitting into the atmosphere, making the Earth become warmer since more heat is being trapped and in turn, changing our climate even if the changes are currently slight, it is a concern for the future.


answer:
This is not possible because the flapping of a butterfly's wings does not have enough power to cause a snowstorm in Alaska, especially with a vast distance between Brazil and Alaska. For example, when a stone is dropped into a pond, it creates ripples. However, the ripples get further away from the source, it slowly dissipates. It is not possible for the power of a butterfly flapping its wings to increase as it gets farther away from the source. As seen in the ripple example, the power of the ripples decrease as it gets further away from the spot where the sotne was dropped.


answer:
soooooo, greenhouse gases are gases that float aroud in th etamosphere and they like warm up and stuff and they makle the atmosphere warmer. or maybe they are the gases keep all the other gases in the atmosphere and tese gases catch the rays of the sun and warm the earth to a temperature that we can live in. they are inmportant because they keep the atmosphere and therefore the earth warm and if they werent there then we wouldnt be able to live on planet earth.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon through the world, e.g it starts in te atmosphere and then is used in the making of a human being, that human being then dies and the carbon goes into the soil. the carbon is then cycled through-out other system, such as the water cycle and may take millions of years to come back to its original place in the environment, in this case the atmosphere.


answer:
they are different. climate is the long term conditions of a certain area, such as the average rainfall over a year. weather is the short term conditions, such as the average rainfall over a week.


answer:
weather can be predicted to a certain extent, but not all prediction sare right and mostly you cannot predict the weather more than a week in advance as the weather is very capable of rapidly changing.


answer:
climate cannot really be predicted as it is the long term conditions. climate doesnt really change that much and it may take millions of years for a climate to noticably change.


answer:
i have no frikkin idea what feedback is (and i thought i was doing pretty well so far :(


answer:
i dont know what an equilibrium is and the only way i've every heard dynamic is in the phrase dynamic stretches, so im pretty much clueless


answer:
ok im gonna guess this one. emergent properties are properties that a climate has that are emerging, e.g. a new propeity, such as the rainfall ncreasing evry year in a certain area.


answer:
a tragedy of commons, is when you find two climate system that have common climates and are tragically suffering from the same problem, such as desertification.


answer:
no, the global climate is not stable as we keep pumping more green house gases into the climate an dthe tempertaure of the earth is increasing quite rapidly compared to the last 5000 years. the temperature of the climate is rising which will effect all areas of the climate as all the areas of the climate are connected. for example, a flower may now blume earlier as it blumes according to temperature. the flower blumeing earlier means that the bees that rely on its nectare have to hunt the nectare earlier and the animals that rely on the bees have to hunt the bees earlier and pattern goes on throught out the climate.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the layers of gas that surround the Earth.  It acts as a blanket that keeps the heat of the sun's rays in, so that we can survive on the planet.  If there was no such 'temperature controlling system', we would be living in extreme heat/cold and quite a few ecosystems would not be able to thrive.  Greenhouse gases can be increased due to human activity and speeds up the action of climate change.  Although this can be seen as a negative process, it eventually works over time in a pattern such as the past few ice ages.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen, in plants and other living things.  This is important as it maintains our life and keeps ecosystems running.


answer:
These are terms referring to different things.  Climate refers to the patterns and changes that we experience over a long period of time.We often record down weather measurements and put it together to form a statistical report about the climate.


answer:
Yes it can, meteorologists can predict the weather to a certain degree of accuracy by the use of symbols on weather maps.  Things such as high and low pressure systems, hot and cold fronts and others are used to predict how the weather may be like over the next few days.  It is recorded and captured by satellite and converted into a weather map, where professionals read and translate the information so that others can understand it.


answer:
Yes.  By studying information of climate from past years, scientists can predict the climate by reading and following patterns/changes that are taking place over time.  It is all done through the use of statistical information that has been collected and put together in graphs, which will show trends in our climate.


answer:
I do not understand what it means by 'feedback'.


answer:
To have a balance in climatic systems there has to be some sort of equilibrium.  I cannot think of any examples.


answer:
Yes, the global climate system is stable to some extent.  There have been trends showing that global warming is increasing at a fast rate, due to human action that has resulted in the speeding-up of this process; however, some sort of action is being done to try and reduce this so that it stabilises back to its original 'pace' of change.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases in the atmosphere that trap heat within the earth's atmosphere. Some of this heat include the infra red rays that cannot be seen by the human eye. They are important as they help maintain the right temperature for living things to occur.


answer:
A carbon cycle is a cycle in which greenhouse gases trap more carbon and other gases within the earth's atmosphere which in turn traps the heat and in turn melts the polar caps. The permafrost that is melted releases gases which in turn is released and then traps more heat which in turn warms the earth and so on.


answer:
Weather and climate are entirely different things. Weather describes the features happening such as air pressure, cloud movement, rainfall, etc Climate on the other hand describes the type of area you are living in such as sub tropical, desert, etc


answer:
weather can be predicted and expected however the predictions may not be as accurate as weather changes accordingly and very fast and sometimes in come cases unpredictable


answer:
climate can be predicted as it describes the type of area you are living in due to the amount of rainfall, etc.


answer:
Some examples of feedback in climate system include teh climate system of south america is tropical as it has vast mount of rainfall...


answer:
The dynamic equilibrium explains the balance of the living organism in a specific area with examples such as teh marine life of the ocean or the balance of the animals in the jungle


answer:
Some of the emergent properties in climate systems include ---


answer:
Our current global climate system is not stable as more fossil fuel that is being burnt is causing the temperature to warm up rapidly which is why everyone is fairly  concerned about the earth's well-being.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that help trap heat produced and I believe it helps the earth. Greenhouse gases are important because they slow down the global warming and limit the temperatures on earth.


answer:
Carbon cycle is us breathing in and breathing out. This is important because


answer:
weather and climate are different because weather is the general idea and not the accurate telling of the day's forecast (e.g. sunny) whilst climate is the exact temperature of the day (e.g. 32 degrees celcius).


answer:
Weather can be predicted by looking out at the sky the night before or in the morning by the amount of fog in the air. It is said, the more stars in the sky or the more fog the more clearer the day it is going to be.


answer:
Climate can not be predicted as it is the exact temperature and it can vary. I believe climate can not be predicted as we cannot foretell and there isn't a machine in this modern era that can go into the next day and bring back the temperature.


answer:
I don't know what dynamic equilibrium are.


answer:
I don't know what emergent properties are.


answer:
I don;t know what 'tragedy of the commons' are.


answer:
I'm not too sure what it means by current global climate system though I believe it is the earth warming. The current global climate system is stable as it is stable in the way the earth is warming. Also, the current global climate system is stable because the the layer around the world protects the earth from direct sunlight and therefore keeps the eath warming stable.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases released into the atmosphere and provides a protective layer that keeps the Earth inhabitable. Its name comes from the fact that like a greenhouse, the gas is like a blanket that keeps the heat in, and therefore keeps the Earth warm.


answer:
The weather and climate is not the same but one is realted to the other. The weather is a short, day by day occurence whereas the climate is determined by the results of a long term


answer:
The weather cannot be predicted because the movement of air can change in an instant bringing with it unpredictable weather changes. The formation of clouds and rain cannot be foretold easily. Changes in wind and temperature could cause abrupt changes that people just don't have the ability to control and therefor predict.


answer:
Yes, climate is much easier to predict. Since climate is determined by the average of the results shown after a long time, we are given a general idea of what the climate will be like at a certin time in a certain place.


answer:
These are becoming more unreliable as unexpected climate is starting to be experienced all over the world. The seasons aren't that defined anymore and day to day weather can change so vastly that is become difficult to determine the climate.


answer:
No, the current global climate system is not stable because climate in countries worldwide are becoming disorientated and Australia is an example. The winters aren't as cold as they used to be, there are alternating days of rain and sunshine and the weather forecasts become more frequently wrong.There are many other countries experiencing similar contrasts in weather. If the trend continues, the climate system will definitely become very disorientated.


answer:
The butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil may cause change to the air and this change can then continue on towards all the way to Alaska because the air in Brazil is exactly the same as the air in Alaska. This change in the air can cause the snow storm.


answer:
i don't think that is is possible for the flapping of a butterfly's wings to cause a snowstorm in alaska, it seems rather absurd that such a small creature can cause such a big situation, although it seems possible that the vibration from there wings may seem relevant, it takes a large number of butterflys to achieve thus kind of situation.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere which form the ozone layer and keep the Earth warm. Without greenhouse gases, the Earth would freeze and light would not be absorbed as well.


answer:
I think the carbon cycle is the releasing of carbon into the atmosphere which are then taken in by trees and plants. The trees and plants then release oxygen. This is important for oxygen to be produced as we breathe this in and exhale carbon dioxide for the trees and plants.


answer:
Weather and climate are different.

The weather is the conditions over a shorter period of time whereas climate is the conditions over a long period of time.


answer:
It cannot be predicted exactly but using different sources such as by measuring air pressure, wind speeds and temperatures an estimate can be put forward as a forecast.


answer:
It can be predicted to some extent and is easier to predict as using past and current records of data can produce a trend where an overall climate can be predicted.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems are results such as temperature.


answer:
Emergent properties are results that show a rise, fall or trend in data...


answer:
No, according to scientists, the climate is slowly worsening such as with temperatures rising and the seasons changing to shorten winter. Some evidence includes the ice in the poles melting faster in winter.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases omitted into the atmosphere and are important because they are responsible for maintaining the Earth's temperature at a hospitable degree. ie; they act like a blanket in the atmosphere and keep our Earth warm. If greenhouse gases did not exist, our world's climate would be insufferably cold at night, and inhumanely hot during the day, because of the radiation of UV rays.


answer:
Weather and climate are different. Weather can be explained as what we see outside our window now, or what we will see tomorrow. For eg; the weather can be cloudy or sunny. However, climate is the pattern of temperatures and weather over a long period of time. for eg; a drought. 
Sections of our earth have different climates. The tropical/equatorial zone, the temperate zone, and of course, the arctics. Each zone has different climates that remain the same over a long period of time. For eg; the tropical zone has a climate of hot and wet. The temperate zone's climate is warm/mild, and the arctic zones experience extrememly cold and dry climate.


answer:
Weather indeed can be predicted with the development of modern technology. However, weather cannot be depicted as 100% correct. The weather is always changing, and it is something out of mankind's control. The only predictions we can make come from satellite images and meteorology. The weather forcast on the news we see is just an outline of what seems to be the pattern of weather that may occur over the next few days to week. However, it is almost never completely correct, and is forever changing.


answer:
Like weather, climate can be predicted to an extent. Researchers and scientists are able to collect data from over the years in a particular area, notice the patterns in climate, and possibly predict what the future climate may be like. However, again, these predictions do not apply everywhere and may not be 100% correct for, they ARE predictions.


answer:
Data collected over the past years can act as feedback in climate systems. Using this feedback, scientists would be able to predict future patterns in climate. 
Perhaps the feedback would be that a drought has spread through a region, or a flood has washed the shores of an area. With this, scientists can then predict that perhaps extrememly dry or torrential rainy weather can be expected.


answer:
something that has to be balanced and equal ... ? 
Perhaps the amount of greenhouse gases vs the atmosphere.

or something like that.


answer:
No. I believe the current climate system is incredibly unstable as of this moment. CLimate change and global warming is rapidly increasing and the Earth's climate is changing at an unfortunately fast rate.


answer:
Greenhouse gases is a term used to compare the gases in the atmosphere (eg: carbon dioxide) to the temperature in a greenhouse.Greenhouse gases are gases trapped by sunlight in the earth's atmosphere causing the surface of the earth to heat up. Greenhouse gases are part of the atmosphere's humidity and play an important role in keeping the earth warm and moist. Witout greenhouse gases the earth would be too cold to live on.


answer:
. The carbon cycle is the breathing in of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide by living animals and the inhalation and exhalation of oxygen by plants.The carbon cycle is important because it balances the air we breathe in ensuring our survival.


answer:
Climate and weather are different. Weather is a term to refer to a day's season and temperature and condition. Climate is the temperature of a certain area of affected conditions.


answer:
Not really because weather patterns are randomn in their movements. Forecasts can only assume or say that it is likely because weather changes unaccordingly in randomn patterns.


answer:
Climate also cannot be predicted. Temperatures are unpredictable and change unaccordingly to weather patterns, (eg: sunny and cold).


answer:
cyclones, tornadoes, storms, snow, hail. The stormy weather is unpredictable and the occurrance of these events usually depend on the weather or the humidity levels of a certain area and mother nature.


answer:
Right now the global climate is not stable because of human pollution in the air.Pollution is affecting the atmosphere because of exhaust fumes remaining from used answers. The chemicals from exhaust fumes of industrial, technology or traffic is foreign to the natural chemicals in the air and can have negative effects on the atmosphere. Pollution can change the atmosphere and affect the climate system tipping it off balance due to the foreign interference of chemicals resulted from man-made products.
Currently the climate is inbalanced because of pollution.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is the constantly-changing balance in climate systems. So a system could be constantly changing but still maintain that balance that keeps it stable.


answer:
Something that emerges as a result of something else.


answer:
When the most abundant/important link in the system disappears, causing the system to collapse.


answer:
No. Greenhouse gases are polluting the atmosphere in sheer abundance from human activity. This increases the global temperature, causing worldwide environmental problems and since ecosystems are often a fragile balance, a one degree increase would heavily affect that balance. Ecosystems all interlink and rely on each other - when one link in the chain breaks, all the others will follow eventually.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that are usually compared to the temperature in a greenhouse. They trap some of the sun's ultra violet light and help keep the earth warm, also playing a part in our humidity. They are one of the main causes of global warming as this layer of gases is getting larger and trapping too much heat.


answer:
The carbon cycle refers to the conversion of oxygen into carbon dioxide by humans and animals and the conversion back to oxygen by plants. This is a continuous cycle and must continue for life on earth to survive.


answer:
Weather and climate are different but I am not entirely sure how. I think weather is more of what we see, 'sunny', 'rainy' etc while climate is more what we feel and those exact measurements. (sigh)


answer:
Weather can be predicted by climatologist who study weather patterns to come to a conclusion aboout what to expect, although these conclusions are not completely reliable and can only predict correctly about one week into the future.


answer:
I do not believe that climate can be predicted as well as weather is but I think you can to a certain extent through looking back into the past and factoring in differents thngs that might effect that today.


answer:
I have no idea. At all. Also can you make the white boxes to write in smaller because they are intimidating me.


answer:
I swear people just nake up these words. 'I think I'll call it, DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM!'
Anywho, dynamic means changing and ability to be flexible while equilibrium means a balance of certain properties. 
...
I have no idea. Again.

A gay property coming out to his family in the climate system? 
I don't know, properties that tend to stick out in the climat system???


answer:
I feel sorry for you people that have to trawl through this text. University is not worth it, you should quit and become a hippie, they always seem happy.
This is mean, I have not committed a crime. They should give this survey to people in jail who deserve it. I preferred science when we had no idea what we were doing and assumed it was the work of a god, it seems easier.


answer:
From what I've heard our current climate system is not at all stable because of global warming and greenhouse gases and if we keep going the way we are we will destroy the earth. That is why we should all become hippies.


answer:
GREENHOUSE GASES ARE HARMFUL GASES THAT ARE SENT TO THE ATMOSPHERE AND CREATE A LAYER IN THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. HEAT IS UNABLE TO PENETRATE EFFECTIVELY THROUGH THIS LAYER THEREFORE A CERTAIN PROPORTION OF EXCESS HEAT STAYS ON PLANET EARTH EACH YEAR. GREENHOUSES GASES ARE IMPORTANT AS THEY ARE A FACTOR THAT HARM THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH GLOBAL WARMING BUT CAN BE CONTROLLED BY HUMAN ACTIONS. IF PEOPLE CHOOSE TO CONTROLL THE AMOUNT OF GASES THEY UTILISE THEN THIS PROBLEM CAN BE CONTROLLED.


answer:
Carbon cycle is the cycle which takes into account the forms carbon takes. It is important to understand because humans can then take decisions that will be more beneficial to the earth.


answer:
Weather is the temperature at a particular place at a particular time. On the other hand climate takes into account the highes and lowest temperatures witnessed by an area. It is an approximation of the temperatures a place may be likely to experience on the basis of the data collected in previous years.


answer:
Yes as meteorologists have knowlege regarding the direction of inds, kinds of clouds etc. with the use of which they can provide an approximate temperature but this temperature may not always be accurate.


answer:
Climate cannot be very accurately predicted. This is because it takes into accounts the highest and lowest temperatures a particular place may be likely to experience. These tempertures may be infleunced by unexpected or unforeseen weather conditions.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems may refer to making a decision on the basis of the climate system trends. For example if scientists notice a gradual increase in temperature they may draw the conclusion that it is neccesary to control human actions.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium in climate systems means that the warmth and the cold balamce ech other out so natural process that require a certain degree of warmth and cold can occur normally.


answer:
Tragedy of the commons in climate systems are probems associated with the climate and such problems affect everyone no matter where they reside in the world. An example of such a tragedy is global warming as it harms people residing in every country.


answer:
No because nowadays humans are continously using items that cause greenhouse gases which is why the temperature is decreasing gradually. Therefore the climate system is changing each year due to human carelessness.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that allow longwave radiation (infared heat) to remain within the earth's atmosphere. 

they are important because it helps keep the Earth's temperature suitable for life to exist. without it it may be much colder.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon through the Earth's 4 spheres (biosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere). it can be stored in various places and in solid, liquid or gaseous state. Carbon is important because it is essential for living things to contain carbon. It is also used for a variety of things.


answer:
Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a particular time.  it can only be predicted for a limited time in advance because it is constantly changing.

Climate is the general state of the atmosphere at a particular time. It is judged on the averages and patterns of weather in the past 30 (not 100% sure...) years. eg. Australia has a warm/hot temperate climate

They are different as weather is short term and climate is more long term.


answer:
It can be but only to a limited extent in advance. it is based upon how air, water and other things move and because these things constantly change and are influenced by other changes it is hard to predict. Therefore it is not always accurate.


answer:
In loose terms yes. As it is a judgement on weather patterns in the past it can be predicted by following general trends shown by data.


answer:
something that is returned. i think it may be the climate's response to certain changes. i cannot make up anything further


answer:
i think dynamic equilibrium is a moving equilibrium. i think in climate systems it refers to different trends possibly influenced by the seasonal variations. however they generally seem to even each other out slightly althogh may be gradually on the rise.


answer:
i think emergent properties are properties that are clear and evident in a climate system. they would be fairly obvious and developing clearly. another guess...


answer:
it means that the commons create tragedy because they are always the same and things cannot eveolve to suit them. honestly i have no idea


answer:
i don't think so because there a a variety of changing factors that influence others to also change. there have been dramitic spikes in the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and this sudden upwards trend may result in the climate being unstable. i am not 100% sure but it depends on your definition of stable.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases produced by man-made and natural factors which trap the rebounding UV rays of heat and sunlight inside the Earth's atomosphere. Essentially, this gradually raises the temperature inside our atomospherisc dome, which causes global warming.
They are important as it makes up more than 70% of the air we breathe in, and this mixture of carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and other gases make it possible for us to survive.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the ebb and flow of carbon levels on Earth. As most habitable land masses are situated in the Northern hemisphere, when the trees start growing carbon dioxide is absorbed, so the carbon level decreases, but when winter arrives the carbon levels rise as the trees lose their leaves and respiration process.


answer:
Weather and climate are different things. Weather is the temperature and sun, wind, rain or hail conditions. Climate is the description regarding the area, and not the specific weather conditions. EG Sydney has moderate summers and moderate winters.


answer:
Weather can be predicted. There are countless weather stations situated throughout the developed countries and some of the second- world countries- needless to say, they measure and predict our future weather through data collectors, computer prediciton programs and various technology pieces.


answer:
Probably not, because climate in situated locations are already established- climate doens't change rapidly over a day- unless Antartica melts in a day or some horrendous event such as that happens.


answer:
The years of time spent upon sending data collectors would have brought back results of the average month temperature, or the annual rain in millimeters.


answer:
No, as graphing shows, our current trend in carbon emmision rising will, by year 2050 go off the table- meaning that we are literally, already on a point of no return unless all countries switch to green energy, which also means that the global economy will take a dive to the dumps.


answer:
natural disaasters are results of chain effects and the slightest movement as stated above can cause snowstorms. For a butterfly flapping its wings to cause a snowstorm can be compared to a sneeze causing an avalanche.

The movement of particles is a chain effect and can expand to many places as droplet of water causes endless ripples in a pond.A slight disturbance can defint=itely help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. As it is most likely not to be able to cause a snowstorm by flapping its wings because if it were able to alaska would be in constant snowstorm.

However, it can most definitely help cause a snowstorm as many compounds can contribute to a snowstorm.


answer:
I believe this is possible. When air warms up, it expands and allow more air to come in and fill its place. This complex process of air movement can be interrupted and this interruption could cause a disruption in the movement of air and therefore help cause a snowstorm. This snowstor however canot be generated only by the force of a butterfly beating its wings or else snowstorms there would be snowstorms experienced all over the world. Snowstorms need the right climate, wind, termperature and formation of clouds with the help of some disruption caused by the beating of a butterfly's wings to make it possible for a snowstorm to occur.


answer:
what the frik. that is theeeee stupidiest thing i have every heard, like how can one little butterfly with its tiny-ass wings jiggle the air in brazil and then hundreds of thousands of miles away the air in alaska suddenly feels that slight vibration and a snowstorm suddenly occurs. 
firstly a snow storm doesnt just happen beacuse some air moves. temperature is a key factor in a snow storm happening beacuse if the air is not cold enough the water droplets will not crystalise and then there will just be rain instead of snow.
secondly air is has to be quite heavy and quite cold to contain enough water vapour to make it snow. one little butterfly flapping its wings one hundred millions of miles away will not have an adverse effect on a massive pocket of air really high in the atmosphere. 
thirdly come on, like look at it logically if a butterfly was the size of a pingpong ball then th epocket of air in alaska is the size of a gym ball in comparison, so if you moved a pingpong ball in the air one hundred miles away from the gym ball, it wouldnt have any effect on the gym ball.
in conclusion, that little butterfly is gonna have to eat a lot of food, grow into something about the size of the north pole and then fly over to alaska and flap its wings, and then it might just create a snowstorm in alaska ;)


answer:
This is not possible, as the distane between the two countries are too long. The only way this can be done, is through the butterfly moving the air, which accumulates like a snowball until it reaches Alaska. The strong wind caused by a butterfly moves the snow, which leads to a snowstorm. However, if a butterfly could move so much air, the effect of a human would be worse. When the butterfly jiggles the air, the wind created is not large enough to travel to Alaska. Even if the wind could travel to Alaska, there would be wind intercepting the flow, therefore weakening the wind flow. Finally, there is no scientific evidence to show that wind can accumulate, therefore this is not possible.


answer:
wut. how does a butterfly in brazil help cause a snowstorm in alaska? arent the 2 counties really far away from each other? like come on man. wut da frizzballs.

a butterfly probably can jiggle the air but how does it jiggle it so much that its makes a snowstorm? if it does then yeah probably. but the snowstorm will probably happen in brazil. but alaska? what/ how does that even happen. if the butterfly's wings that strong to jiggle the air and then let it go towards alaska and thenn snow? i dont know.

doesnt temperature affect a snowstorm? the evaporated air goes towrds the clouds and become colder and colder since temperature drops as the altitude rises. even if air affects it, shouldnt it be the temperature of the air? so how does the movement of the air affect the water droplets in the clouds turning into snow. 

i seriously dont know. if it was true then i wouls be amazed. but i dont think its true. because its a butterfly. i thought butterflys were small. i dont know. 

i just made up what i wrote there.


answer:
Greenhouses gases are gases located in the atmosphere such as methane and carbon dioxide. They are important because they trap heat in the atmosphere which helps warm up our planet making it inhabitable.Without the existence of greenhouse gases our planet would be very cold and unsuitable to live in.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. The cycle basically consists of carbon being produced, then travelling up to the atmosphere then being emmited by the earth. It is important because if this cycle stops, then carbon dioxide will continue to be produced and there will be no way for carbon to be emitted therefore causing global warming.


answer:
Weather and climate are 2 completely different things. Weather is the temporary state of the atmosphere, but climate is long term and is for a particular area.


answer:
Yes, weather can be predicted to a certain extent, however the weather forecast may only be accuarate if it is predicted a few days beforehand. We cannot predict weather that is going to occur a month or even 2 weeks beforehand.


answer:
Climate cannot be predicted because it something over a long period of time. We cannot even predict weather which is something over a short period of time, so how do we predict climate when it is far more complex and is further away in the future? Things like El nino and La nina also has lots to do with the climate of a certain place, and those things we cannot forecast.


answer:
When clouds start talking to you and give you feedback on how they are going.


answer:
Well from my knowledge a equilibrium is a state in nature where all animals and nature are in harmony with one another. However I do not know what a 'dynamic equilibrium' nor do I know what an example of it is.


answer:
No, because at the rate we are producing carbon dioxide and methane, our earth cannot sustain it. Therefore climate patterns are bound to change and the earth will get warmer and warmer, disrupting normal life for many animals and plants, including humans.


answer:
The butterfly flapping it's wing in Brazil jiggling the air cannot help cause a snowstorm in Alaska as a butterfly in Brazil does not effect the whole earth. 

A butterfly in Brazil does not effect Brazil, how could it effect other countries? A butterfly falping it's wing in Brazil jiggling the air cannot help cause a snowstorm because a snowstorm is caused when the environment is extremely cold and the wind blowing is strong. The butterfly flapping it's wing is not going to make the environment cold neither is it going to create wind and send it to Alsaka. A butterfly flapping it's wing in Brazil does not effect Brazil, therefore it should hae no impact or effect other countries.

A snowstorm in Alaska cannot be caused through the help of a butterfly flapping its wing in Brazil jiggling the air because onw butterfly cannot effect the whole earth.


answer:
greenhouse gases are the carbon dioxide emitted from large places such as factories. greenhouse gases help warm the earth by trapping hot air into the atmosphere. they are important for a healthy environment but too much greenhouse gases could result in a chage in the climate- affecting our flora and fauna.


answer:
i'm not too sure what the carbon cycle is but i would guess that it would be the cycle of carbon dioxide and would be important to continue the earth's life cycle.


answer:
weather and climate are different. one can describe the weather as 'sunny' or 'stormy' which is a large difference to climate. climate, on the other hand, is used when measuring rainfall and temperatures over a long perid of time, maybe up to a year.


answer:
yes it can. by using different instruments and satelites we are able to predict weather in the future. weather can be predicted for up to a week or so before the actual day, handy if you are planning an event.


answer:
climate can be predicted, just not as much and not as accurately as the weather. because climate is usually measured over a long period of time it is harder to predict. i do not know about any instruments that can predict the climate but i imagine it is very similar to the instruments used to predict the weather- satelites and stuff.


answer:
no idea. 
feedback in climate systems include the amount of rainfall and the month's average temperature.


answer:
dynamic equilibrium is where there are too many clouds in the sky.


answer:
emergent properties in a climate system include the emerging changes when measuring an area's climate.


answer:
tragedy of the commons is when the different aspects used to measure climate (heat, rainfall) are unbalanced, tipping some of the environment's flora and fauna into a wild confusion.


answer:
at the moment the global climate system seems unstable. for a while there have been 'rumours' and 'talks' about global warming. we are producing too much greenhouse gases, making the globe a lot warmer than usual. at this very moment the heat of our earth is slowly but gradually rising, therefore the system is not stable.


answer:
The Green house gases are the natural gases the earth emits to keep the earth warm. they are like a blanket and remain inside the ozone layer. they are important because of the warmth they provide to the earth- and the warmth allows growth and life on earth


answer:
it is the water cycle- but with carbon
It is a legit cycle. 
the carbon that we create- whether it be the air we exhale or the coal fumes- are breathed in by the trees. the trees convert it to oxygen which we breathe in and use. repeat the cycle of our breath, and you have a carbon cycle.

i dont know.


answer:
nope. the weather and climate different.
the weather is predictable with satellite and other measuring instruments. the weather is the clouds and the sun, including rain, hail and thunder storms. the atmosphere changes in temperature and humidity, and that gives us the weather. it is only related to the atmosphere, though it does affect others, for example, the lithosphere and the biosphere.

the climate however is realted to all the spheres- lithosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and the hydrosphere. they are all factors into climate- because if the biosphere -the living things (animals and plants)- could cause a disruption, for example, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it could change the climate- in relation to earth. the lithosphere (earth) would be warmed because of the CO2 trapped inside the atmosphere, which causes the ice caps to melt into the hydrosphere, and this is an imbalance. 
the climate is therefore different to the weather.


answer:
the weather can be predicted - as stated above
the weather, using different measuring instruments, can be predicted only to a limited extent of time. this is due to the cloud and wind movements coupled together with el nina~.

im not sure


answer:
it can also be prediced, but only through the past patterns of the climate.


answer:
in the climate systems, there has been feedback that has been noticed by humans. for example- the ice caps melting would be an example in the climate systems. 
the climate getting warmer, would be another form of feedback.
and also the rising water levels that are devouring our smaller islands.


answer:
the dynamic equilibrium could be extreme balance. it could be the the equality between the north and south poles.

i dont know


answer:
no. it is repeating the past climate system patterns, but passing each year, the climate levels get warmer and warmer. there is much discussion about the melting poles and much worry over what to do about it.


answer:
I believe that a butterful flapping its wings in Brazil cannot produce enough air force to create a snow storm in Alaska. However, it is possible that it contraibutes and very very VERY minor part into creating the force of a snowstorm. 
A butterfly flapping its wings produces very little air force; perhaps very close to none at all. Therefore, it is almost impossible for a butterfly to contribute to creating a snow storm. However, however little this contribution may be, it is still possible.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that occur naturally in the atmosphere that help trap heat by decresing the amount of heat radiation that can escape through the atmoshphere. these gases include caron dioxide and methane. They are important because without them the heat loss that would occur would leave the earth unable to sustain the majority of the current plants and animal populations.


answer:
the carbon cycle is a continous cycle in which carbon is transported through the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. Carbon sinks, such as large forests or oceans, absorb carbon dioxide and trap it, either deep under the sea or in the wood and leaves of trees. these sinks help keep the natural level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stable. Carbon is also absorbed by tiny animals that use it to create shells, and these shells keep the carbon 'locked' away for up to millions of years. Many rocks also contain significant levels of trapped carbon, as do fossil fuels. The carbon cycle is important because without it the levels of carbon, and consequently carbon dioxide increase dramatically and alter the climatic patterns of the earth.


answer:
weather and climate are different. weather is the day to day change in atmospheric conditions, while climate is the long-term trends experienced over decades that are relatively stable in specific areas of the world.
for example, the climate of a desert is hot and dry, however on a day that there is a storm, the weather is wet and stormy.


answer:
due to the amount of factors that influence weather it can only be predicted up to a couple of days in advance, and this estimation of what the atmospheric conditions will be is always subject to change because of the uncertainty of weather systems.


answer:
climate can be predicted much more accurately than weather because decades worth of atmospheric conditions can be analysed and averaged. the climate of an area will not change a lot in 100 or so years (hopefully) so it is much easier to analyse the trends and predict the climate.


answer:
feedback in climate systems is when one system is altered and another one is negatively impacted, resulting in detrimental changes in both of them


answer:
dynamic equilibrium in climate systems is when each climate system is able to adapt and respond appropriately to change in other climate systems, keeping the equilibrium of the systems intact.


answer:
emergent properties are mystic alien forces that blow clouds around our earth with massive bellows. they do this becasue the United Nations has entered a secret contact with said aliens and we supply them with goats milk if they move our clouds around.


answer:
'tragedy of the commons' is where no government or organisation wants to take responsibility for an environment due to the the fact that said environment is in 'no mans land', no country 'owns' it or is responsible for the upkeep of the environment. 

an example of tragedy of the commons is the rubbish that is collecting in the middle of the Pacific ocean. No government wants to take responsibility for the environmental issue becasue it would either be too expensive or too much work to fix. therefore the issue becomes worse and is still unresolved.


answer:
the current global climate system is stable, but teetering on the edge of unstable becasue of the rising temperatues in our atmosphere. currently, the effects of this have been relatively small-scale (and by small-scale i mean pretty bad) but if the trends we are experiencing now continue, all major global climate systems will basically be negatively and permanently damaged and altered.


answer:
It has been said that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. Even though weather can be quite unpredictable, I doubt that a single butterfly could cause such a big change to the weather like a snowstorm.

Snowstorms could not be caused because of a butterfly because if this were to be true, then it would be only make sense that since there would hundreds or thousands of butterflies continuously flapping their wings every day in Brazil, who knows how many snowstorms in Alaska there would be for each butterfly? Since there are not snowstorms in Alaska everyday for almost everytime, it would not make sense if a single butterfly could cause a snowstorm simply by just flapping it's wings.

Even if the flapping wings of a butterfly could cause some sort of disturbance in the air, it is not likely for a snowstorm  to occur just because of a butterfly. From what I understand, snow is caused by large amounts of water vapour, freezing cold temperatures. The wind is only so the snow blows around everywhere, thus creating a 'snowstorm'. This is why I don't think that it is possible for a butterfly in Brazil to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
i think it can. Everything is in equilibrium so even a small distortion in the air (a buterfly flapping it's wings) can cause a change. although it may be small it has the potential to cause someting much larger. 

the movement of air is constant but any change could change something else that could change something else... so on and so forth. essentially a snowball effect could occur but as you  might not be able to track the air movement you may never know whether the butterfly caused a snowstorm in Alaska. 

Yes the small jiggle in the air can HELP create a snowstorm in Alaska as it is to do with weather. However i doubt that makes a huge difference just something slight that could get bigger.

:) Butterfly effect but i don't know all the details


answer:
Greenhouse gasses are a group of gasses that trap in the heat on planet earth. Gasses such as methane and carbon dioxide trap in infra red waves which in turn keeps our atmosphere warm. These gasses are important for our survival as they ensure that the earth stays at a stable temperature at which we can live in. Without the presence of greenhouse gasses, the eath's temperature would be significantly cooler than it is now. The earth's warm temperature's ensure the survival of plants, animals and other organisms.


answer:
The carbon cycle refers to the way in which carbon is transformed on earth. For instance, the carbon in plants can be consumed by animals. The animals respire carbon dioxide which releases carbon into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide that is released in the atmosphere can them be absorbed by trees. This creates a large cycle which affects the flow of carbon. The carbon cycle is important because carbon is an important element. Carbon is present in all organic matter as well as other substances.


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same. Climate refers to weather experiences over a long period of time. Weather on the other hand refers to certain events that occur on a shorter time frame. 
For example: 
Tropical climate refers to an area that receives plenty of rainfall and warmth.
A single day of rain refers to the weather on that particular day.


answer:
Weather can be predicted however, it cannot be done very accurately. Meteorologists are able to predict one week's weather events. This can be done so by observing the movement of pressure systems and fronts over a period of time. 
Systems move rather erratically. Therefore, weather can be predicted however, it cannot be done very accurately.


answer:
Climate refers to a trend of weather patterns. Therefore, climate can be largely predicted. For example: In 2010 it was snowing in Jindabyne in the month of July. Therefore, it is likely that in 2011 it was also snowing in Jindabyne.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems refers to weather events that occur due to changes in the natural climate.


answer:
Dynamic equilibrium is when there is a balance in the system with little dramatic variation.


answer:
The current global climate systems are not very stable. This is because circumstances are changing every year. For instance, we produce more greenhouse gasses now in 2013 than we did 50 years ago. The amount of greenhouse gasses changes our global climate system because greenhouse gasses can change the temperature on earth.


answer:
Greenhouse gases (e.g. Carbon dioxide, methane) are gases which when released into the atmosphere, absorb the heat being emitted from the earth's surface rather than allowing it to leave the atmosphere. They are important because if they are allowed to build up in the atmosphere, they can lead to affects such as global warming.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the path that carbon takes throughout the earth's hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and biosphere in either a solid form, a liquid form, a gas form, or as particles suspended in the air. The carbon cycle is important because if humans disrupt it; for example by burning fossil fuels (a solid form of carbon stored in the earth's lithosphere), by cutting down trees- preventing them from absorbing carbon from the atmosphere through transpiration and by burning them which releases all the stored carbon back into the atmosphere; we can contribute to the problems caused by greenhouse gases and cause air and water pollution.


answer:
Weather and climate are not the same thing. Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions for the day or week, whereas climate refers to long-term conditions, ascertained by collecting data for many years.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to a point. We can sometimes use tropospheric maps to predict conditions such as wind, rain or temperature change- but these predictions are often unreliable.


answer:
Climate can be predicted by extrapolating from existing data from previous years and the trends that can be seen in this data. However, any predictions made have to factor in other changes that could affect climate, for example, increased carbon emissions. Although scientists can often predict these changes quite accurately- we can't be sure that there won't be dramatic changes that will affect the climate.


answer:
The current global climate is not stable. With huge (and increasing) levels of greenhouse gas pollution in the atmosphere, the earth's atmosphere is gradually warming- which also causes temperature rises in the earth's oceans. These rising temperatures mean that warm air that rises in the atmosphere is moving more and more quickly, making the atmosphere more unstable and driving faster wind speeds. All this has lead to more frequent ans severe natural disasters.


answer:
A butterfly could help cause a minuscule change in air pressure over time if added to with other causes. It may add a tiny disturbance to the air but alone cannot cause a snowstorm far away. Changes in temperature, air pressure and wind direction could factor in along and build up all the way to Alaska but this is a very small chance as the scale of the force of a butterfly flapping its wings compared to the scale of global climate is incredibly different. A tiny change in temperature and other elements contributing to snowstorms can also be caused by a butterfly's force as it could contribute to the right conditions needed for a snowstorm. The distance could be explained as factors like low pressure systems and high pressure systems are examples that move some distance over time. These could cause the dry and cold conditions needed for a snowstorm.


answer:
WHAT. WHY. AN ESSAY. WHY.(defeated sigh)
I guess any movement in the atmosphere effects everything else and a butterfly flapping their wings could HELP a snow storm, but not nesscessarily CAUSE it.
For example the fleas on rats who ran around and bit humans who than ran around and infected other humans caused the Black Plague which killed half the people on earth. It does matter how small an event is, everything, even in the atmosphere is connected and can snowball (not a pun) in a snowstorm.

This is a very short essay.
I am going to fail.
I hope you know this is ridiculously cruel.
You just sitting there in your doc martens eating shin cup noodles.
You univesity hipster you.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the layer of gas particles forming a blanket over the Earth which keeps in warmth.

When the sun rays hit Earth, instead of warming the air directly, the infrared waves in fact heat up the ground which then heats up the surrounding air. The greenhouse effect (caused by the greenhouse gases) stop the heat escaping into space and thus warms our Earth enough to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is often viewed negatively but if there was no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the Earth would be too cold and not able to support life. The actions of humans influence the amount of gases emitted into the atmosphere and thus influences the strength of the greenhouse effect.


answer:
The carbon cycle refers to the transfer of carbon through the different spheres on earth (lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere). These cycles can be extremely lengthly - up to millions of years - or very short. An exmaple is the burning of coal. Coal is the remains of ancient trees which have been burried in the ground for a very long time. When the ancient coal is dug up and burnt up for energy, the carbon in the trees from millions of years ago is released into the atmosphere.

It is important because carbon is in everything and if we continue to dig up ancient rock and burn them, the levels of carbon in the atmosphere will continue to increase at an exponential rate - speeding up climate change.


answer:
Weather and climate are different.

Weather refers to the fluctuations in the atmosphere over shorter periods of time which include precipitation, temperature, clouds, humidity, etc. Climate on the other hand, refers to the long term characteristics of weather at a particular place. At least 30 years of reliable data need to be collected before making conclusions about the climate at a particular place on Earth.


answer:
Weather can be predicted. However it can only be predicted accurately within a week or so. There is still a lot to be learned about weather for us to be able to have 100% accurate weather forecasts.


answer:
Climate can be predicted if there is enough accurate historical data. It is reasonable to predict that the Sahara Desert will be very hot during the day and that Antarctica will be extremely cold because they have always been like that. However with the progression of climate change, climatic patterns may be disrupted and this can be evident in the future.


answer:
Examples of feedback in climate systems is the increasing average temperature in the long term. If we continue to burn fossil fuels, the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will increase and thus make Earth warmer. This is an example of feedback in our climate.


answer:
An example of dynamic equilibrium in climate systems are the deserts and the poles. They are polar opposite but each sustain their own equilibrium in their ecosystem.

With climate change become more and more influential, the dynamic equilibrium in climate systems will be effected and this may adversely effect life on Earth.

I don't know.


answer:
Emergent properties in climate systems refers to the new things that are popping up in our climate over the recent years as a result of climate change. For example,the emerging presence of greenhouse gases in our climate is affecting the global average temperature which over the next million years can potentially make life on Earth impossible.


answer:
Ants. There are too many ants (which make them common) which is why they die all the time (from people squishing them) which is why it is a tragedy. Common things suffer.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that are released from houses, vehicles, etc. They contribute to global warming. They are important if a large amount of the gases get trapped in the atmosphere, it can result into global warming which may not only affect flora and fauna but also any living organism on this planet. e.g. humans.


answer:
The weather and climate is different as weather is the atmosphere of a place at a particular time or day whereas climate is the atmosphere of a place at an extended and longer period of time.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but not all predictions are exact and accurate. There may be impulse weather changes throughout the day which may not be taken into account as the satellites that detect the weather may not be able to detect it as they are sudden and irregular patterns of weather.


answer:
Climate can be predicted due to the behaviour and structures of the weather of the past few weeks.


answer:
Some examples of feedback are the extreme temperatures and the melting of the snow caps which are both caused by global warming. Also the the water in the seas increasing may be due to the ice caps melting. Warmer winters may also be a result from global warming.


answer:
Examples of emergent properties in climate systems are the processes of what contributes to the weather such as evaporationa and condensation of water. e.g. rain. And also freezing and melting precedures. e.g. snow, floods.


answer:
Some examples of 'tragedy of the commons' are natural disasters such as droughts, floods, storms, tornadoes, etc. Some are caused by the sudden change in the atmosphere or the weather. Also global warming can cause some of the disasters such as droughts due to the high temperatures and the globe warming up.


answer:
No, the global climate system is not system as there are still many natural disasters occuring and the issue of global warming is also getting serious as many animals and plants have died due to this and that humans may be the next victims.


answer:
in my opinion i do not think this is possible but, what do i know? a butterfly 'jiggling' the air does not mean it has started a storm an ocean away. it could simply be a coincident if a snow storm has happened at the same time a butterfly is fluttering their stuff. anyway, if this was true does that also mean everytime we move we are creating storms in some nearby country like new zealand? that would, honest to god, create more havoc than a war.


answer:
'A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus can help cause a snowstorm in Alaska' is a false statement. Snowstorms are formed by weather conditions in nearby situations. When a butterfly flapping its wings- (unless it is mutant butterfly holding a record of being bigger than a building ) the air that it jiggles just flows back into place. THere is no way that a butterfly in Brazil would be able to move or help cause a snowstorm in ALaska.


answer:
green house gases are gases that are released into the atmoshere which retain some of the heat produced on earth. green house gases include carbon doixide,CO2 as well as other gases and emissions from fossil fuel. they are important because they help keep the earth warm and allow animals and living things to grow and survive.


answer:
the carbon cycle is the cycle of how co2 moves aroung our planet.?
so i think the carbon cycle involves how the co2 travel and is released into the atmosphere. lets say the co2 emissions from cars and humans and animals gets released into the atmosphere and then trees and co2 absorbing plants take in the co2 and then turn it into oxygen humans then breath in this oxygen and turn it into co2 and the cycle repeats itself. i think most of the co2 just goes up into the amosphere and gets trapped there and causes the earth to get warming.
it important for his cycle to continue because there neds to be a balance of co2 in the atmosphere because too much and too less will do damage. too much co2 warms up the planet too less would result in freezing temperatures.


answer:
no  climate is the weather at a particular place over a period of time whereas eather is just recorded at a specific place at a specific time.


answer:
yes because by observing weather patterns over a period of time and based on meterological data meterologist are able to forcast the weather by looking at satellite photographs and data.


answer:
climate cannot be predicted since it need to be recorded over a period of time but i think you generally know the general climate of a place since its pretty much the same every year.


answer:
feedback 1. data collected
2. electromagnetic waves....
3. changes in climate system


answer:
properties that are still emerging.................idk


answer:
data errors leading to tragedies or like wrong predictions and stuff


answer:
no since its changes are dramtic over the past century. the temperature of the atmosphere is rising every year and has been disturbing different species of animals around the world that depends on the temperature to start variuos routines of there lives. ie immigration of birds, hatching of catepillars 
thus this causes interuption throughout the whole food chain


answer:
It may contribute a tiny amount, but it seems a little too drastic to be possible. Butterflies are small insects that cause little disturbance in the air and while there are large species of butterflies, they would not be big enough to 'flap' their wings, they would probably 'flit' (i.e. flutter). Brazil and Alaska are quite far apart from each other. Unless there was a huge butterfly migration or something like that, or that somehow influenced the atmosphere in Alaska to help create a snowstorm, it doesn't seem very possible, even considering the example.


answer:
No this is not possible because of the fact that butterflie exist in places where snow does not occur. If this hypothesis was true then the phenomena of snow would always occur in the vicinity of butterflies flapping their wings. On the contrary places without butterflies also experience snow. The wings flap in order to create energy which will help them keep aloft in the sky. This is absolutely not true. It is also not possible to jiggle the air. 
Even if the snowing records in Alaska are taken into account,no trend between butterflies flapping their wings and snow storms can be detected. Before making a scientific judgment it is essential to figure out the validity of the experiment you are conducting. When this hypothesis was formed no experiment designed proved tat the hypothesis was true. Keeping all these facts in mind it is acceptable to state that the hypothesis of butterflies flapping their wings in order to cause snowstorms is not backed up with any evidence.


answer:
NO. the poor butterfly is not so much as a blimp in  even the ecosystems. its wings are not even that powerful. while it may be strong enough to fly around in the air, its not enough to even help cause a breeze. 
common sense depicts it.


answer:
Weather events are natural occurences in this world. For a particular weather event to happen, there have to be precise levels of many climatic conditions.

It is extremely hard and not possible for human, and especially not animals actions to create changes and occurences in the weather, no matter how strong. Butterflies therefore will not be able to create such a snowstorm.

Even if millions and millions of butterflies so flap around and stir up snow,the biggest impact would probably be a temporary wind. Although this might blow the snow around enough to make it seem like a weak 'snowstorm', it will not be able to maintain it's powers for long enough.

For a snowstorm, there has to be enough water vapour in the air, the temperature has to be cold enough for it to fall as snow, and the pressure systems have to be intense and close enough to create strong winds. Butterflies flapping their wings cannot simply cause such an event.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that surround our planet. They form a kind of 'blanket' around the earth trapping heat. This works because the sun's rays are directed at the earth, where some of the warmth gets absorbed in the earth but the rest bounces off. When the rays bounce off the earth the greenhouse gases trap some of the sun's rays which heat our planet. This is called the greenhouse effect (????)

The greenhouse effect is important as it is a vital system needed to keep our planet heated.


answer:
Trees & plants absorb carbon dioxide and in exchange give out oxygen, while humans & mammals breathe in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide ????????????


answer:
They are different. (???)
Climate is the usual type of weather experienced in a certain place.
The weather in a certain place can change everyday whereas the climate is the steady norm of weather in that certain place. ?????


answer:
It can be predicted to a certain extent. Scientist have enough technology from weather stations to provide a estimated prediction on what the weather will be like 2 - 5 days before the actual day. Though these predictions are usually accurate, they are not 100%. Scientist do not have enough technology to predict the weather 2 weeks in advance as the weather can change quite quickly.


answer:
With the right amount of study in a certain area a climate can be predicted.
Scientists can estimate the usual patterns in an area with the help of on going tests taken in that area. Taking the results from those tests we can calculate an average in weather, therefore estimating what the climate is like in a certain area????/

????????????????????????????????????????????????????I dont know how i passed science i can hardly answer half these questions


answer:
the tradgedy of commons was a great battle during the 1945's where ancient, mysterious narwhals flew out to Russia to defend the vicious killer whales that were beached on the edge of a certain cliff which i cant remember the name of right now. The pretty aztecs of Russia were fierce in their battle causing damage to the narwhals defences (explaining why there are little narwhals around nowadays) but the courageous narwhals went on with their battle slowly weakening the Russian Aztecs. Little is written about the rest of the battle but we somehow (probably from the telepathic wallabies) know that the battle was eventually won by the narwhals, which was a great triumph for the narwhal kind. The End.


answer:
It is stable?? except for the fact that the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is increasing ever so slight every year due to us. As a result, the temperature is slowly increasing, which is melting the earth's ice caps and is slowly (very VERY slowly)causing the water level to rise.

answer:
It is not possible for a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.

First there is the issue of distance. Brazil is in South America, Alaska is in the most north-western point of North America. There is no way something on so small a scale in one part of the Earth can trigger such a significant effect on somewhere so much further away.

Second there is the different scale of the events. It isn't possible for a butterly flapping its wings to trigger such a large scale event a world away.

That is why this is not possible.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are the gases that surround the earth's atmosphere. They act as a barrier by keeping the sun's rays in and absorbing infra red rays. We would not be able to survive without greenhouse gases. Some of the main greenhouse gases are water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane. They are important because they provide heat for the earth. Without greenhouse gases, Earth would be about 30 degrees colder.


answer:
The carbon cycle relates to the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between humans, plants, animals, and all living things.


answer:
Weather and climate have different meanings. Climate is measured over a long period of time, and used to create graphs and data, whereas weather relates to a specific day.


answer:
Weather can be predicted to some extent. Meteorologists study the pattern of various things, such as cold fronts and warm fronts, and use this to predict the weather. It is impossible for anyone to predict weather weeks or months beforehand, as weather can change suddenly.


answer:
Climate may be easier to predict than weather. Different regions in the world have different climate types, depending on how close they are to the equator. The climate of most places can be predicted based on previous graphs and statistical data.


answer:
Feedback in climate systems might be information obtained from how living things react to the climate. Scientists can use this data to predict certain things and make graphs. This could help them in the future.


answer:
For all living things to function, there needs to be some kind of balance. The oxygen we breathe in must be equal to the carbon dioxide we breathe out. If something in the climate system is disrupted, it will affect the whole system. It is important to have a dynamic equilibrium as animals or other living things could become extinct.


answer:
Emergent properties may refer to properties of a climate system that cause climate events to happen, such as thunderstorms. They are each important in contributing to a climatic event.


answer:
A man wrote an essay called 'Tragedy of the Commons', and it related to climate change. I don't know how it relates to climate systems.


answer:
The current global climate system is not stable. If humans continue to omit greenhouse gases, the quality of the planet will decrease. Burning fossil fuels adds to an increase in atmospheric concentration. The temperature of the earth will dramatically increase if this is continued.


answer:
no?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Though small changes in the earth can effect other things to change in a massive scale (e.g. an earthquake in the middle of the ocean can cause a huge tsunami to occur), I still don't think it is quite possible for the tiniest movement of air in Brazil to cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Literally, the tiny air movements that the butterfly's wings make are too tiny and insubstantial to make any real impact in even the local wind patterns in the area immediate to that of the butterfly. there is no way that these minute draughts caused by the flapping motion of butterfly wings would help generate a snowstorm in Alaska. 

Theortically, however, going on the theory that all global climates are interconneted, the butterfly's movements could generate enough air movement to propel localised wind, therefore causing a 'snowball effect'. if the local wind then adds to major currents of atmospheric wind, such as the Hadley Cells, they will grow marginally stronger, until it the magnified force reaches the winds of Alaska, where the tiny butterfly's seemingly inconsequential air movements have helped create a snowstorm that could theoretically kill thousands of people.


answer:
No it is just a saying and it cannot be true. How can one butterfly flapping its wings cause enough air movement to be able to 'jiggle the air' and help cause a snowstorm in Alaska. If this rumour was true that wouldn'e things like planes or even birds create more air movement and so wouldn't there be a continous snowstorm in Alaska? And also, why would the butterfly only cause a snowstorm in Alaska but not in the other parts of the world. I think that it is ridiculous to say that one single butterfly in Brazil can jiggle the air and cause a snowstorm because that is practically saying that all movements of air in Brazil can contribute to a snowtorm in Alaska.


answer:
The likelihood of a snowstorm being caused by butterflies flapping their wings is low and very unlikely. This is because the impact of butterflies in the Southern Hemisphere will have very little impact in the northern hemisphere. In order to form a snowstorm in a Alaska, there is a need for a lot of energy. Butterflies in Brazil will be unable to form energy on such a magnitude.There are greater forces on earth that would counteract the effect of the butterflies. Forces such as coriolis effect and gravity have a larger impact than butterflies. Even if the butterflies were capable of creating enough energy to cause a snowstorm, the coriolis effect would cause the energy to remain in the Southern Hemisphere. Thus the energy in the Southern Hemisphere will be unable to have an effect in the Northern hemisphere.


answer:
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can jiggle the air and thus cna help cause a snowstorm in Alaska is not possible sue to the following reasons.

It is not possible as Brazil and Alaska are in different hemispheres so the distance may be not possible for the reaction to occur. 

Also a butterfly flapping its wings will not jiggle the air that much as for a snowstorm to occur in Alaska. Snow is not caused by strong winds and the winds in Brazil are usually warm as the weathers of the two hemispheres are of the recipricol of each other. So it is not possible for a snowstorm to occur in Alaska.

That is why i think it is not possible for a snowstorm to occur in Alaska due to the force of a butterfly's wings.


answer:
this is the butterfly theory...which i don't really recall at all..
the butterfly theory is just i think.. a theory that a butterfly flapping its wing on the other side of the world can set off a chain of reactions that may cause a cyclone on the opposite side of the world. i think....
a sudden change in the air current or pressure may trigger a larger change like how a gentle breeze can cause a paper airplane to go completely off path. this increase or decrease in air pressure or change in current may cause a ripple effect in the air currents around the world and these changes may cause one high pressure system to meet with a low pressure system and thus cause a cyclone....


answer:
This theory could be true. Based on the information provided, if there were several Brazilian butterflies, there could be enough force from their wings to propel wind towards Alaska. Brazil is relatively close in distance to Alaska, meaning the butterflies would not have to flap their wings that much. As they are from Brazil, Brazilian butterflies most likely have very strong wings, which helps in their quest to create a snowstorm in Alaska. However, they would probably need to recruit their other butterfly friends from other countries, who may not be as strong or determined as the Brazilian ones. In conclusion, if there were enough buterflies, they would create enough force to most likely cause a snowstorm in Alaska.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that effectively build/create a greenhouse affect on the Earth. They are there to keep the Earth not to warm and not to cold. It is also good at keeping some of the infra-red light trapped inside the Earth's atmosphere or the glass of the greenhouse so that the Earth keeps warm, but lets enough of it radiate out into space that the Earth is not too hot.


answer:
The carbon cycle is a cycle where carbon is getting put into the atmosphere and then taken out again in a big cycle. Part of the Carbon Cycle is some of the carbon in the atmosphere getting taken out and being used in the act of photosynthesis so that it is turned into glucose?. It is then eaten by animals who eat the plants and so they absorb the carbon? and then put it back into the atmosphere when they respire.
It is important because it helps people understand where carbon is within the world and how it affects us in our daily lives and what is happening in the world around us.


answer:
Weather and climate is not the same. Weather is what is happening in the atmosphere above us, whereas climate is the types of conditions that explains the weather and the temperature and many more things so climate is weather, but weather is not climate. As in if Type A was a mixture of Type B and Type C, Type B would not necessarily be Type A and neither would Type C be automatically Type A.


answer:
Weather may or may not be predictable, but there is a certain degree of accuracy that weather stations can predict it to. The weather is forever changing with the temperature and the climate and the debatable rising sea levels that it leaves many questions in its wake, but whether the weather can be predicted is debatable.


answer:
The same as the weather, the climate can be predicted to a certain degree of accuracy, but it changes with a lot of factors such as the forever changing with the temperature and the weather and the debatable rising sea levels that it is debatable to whether it can be debatable.


answer:
In a climate system, there is sometimes visible and non-visible feedback such as lack of food in the area or an increased number in the population or the increased deceased population in the area. There is also the records of tests done in the area showing results of the feedback from a climate system in the area and for the Earth there is an apparent result that the icecaps/Antarctica is melting and so the sea level is rising and so there is less ground above water.


answer:
There is the balance of the ratio of how much rain Australia receives and how much South America receives during La Nina and La Nino(may not be accurate spelling of the words) and how it balances out the dry seasons with the wet. This shows the balance within the climate systems that help create balance.


answer:
In some weather systems within a climate system there is the possibility that there could be some low pressure systems combining with some high pressure systems that can make a cyclone/typhoon/hurricane depending where you are in the Known Universe, Milky Way Galaxy, Solar System, Planet Earth. This can emerge from some climate systems.


answer:
Based on the information that has been received from the participant, it is said to be not stable as the temperature differences from hot summer to cold winter is becoming more drastic as the Earth warms up and so it is said to be not stable. It is also said to be because of the hole in the ozone layer letting in more Ultra Violet light that is helping to melt the Ice caps/Antarctica and so that is also contributing to the unstable climate system of the Earth.


answer:
It is impossible to tell whether a particular butterfly in Brazil has displaced air causing a snowstorm on the other side of the world, in Alaska.

However, the theory of interconnectedness and knock-on effects behind this statement is definitely correct- and extremely relevant to issues relating to climate change.

While a butterfly may or may not be able to cause a snowstorm, it is true that a seemingly small change, like a melting glacier in the arctic circle, does have numerous affects that can be felt worldwide. 

This is possible because although the melting ice may not be having a direct affect, through the series of events it causes, it can have widespread affects which may not be immediately evident. 

The melting glacier (which was caused by rising atmospheric temperatures, in turn caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions) causes the sea-levels worldwide to rise by an infinitesimal amount. This, when combined with melting ice in other parts of the world can cause noticeable changes in sea-level. These changes can then mean that low-lying areas of land can become submerged, leaving plants animals and people with nowhere to go. These displaced people then must makes space to live and support themselves by clearing areas of previously untouched natural environment, which can mean a loss of habitat for species of native plants and animals and their ultimate extinction, causing a lack in biodiversity.

So, a Brazilian butterfly may not be able to cause an Alaskan snowstorm, but by applying this theory of interconnected events- we can seek to understand climate events better. For example, by exploring how a melting glacier off the coast of Greenland can lead to the submersion of all of Bangladesh.


answer:
Even with a small flap of its wings it can still disturb the air in Brazil which can disturb the Earth and its atmosphere which can travel all the way to Alaska disturbing a tree and so it can knock over a pebble which can disturb the land causing a landslide in Alaska.

answer:
The true example of the well known play, the 'tradegy of the commons' written by William Stratosphere depicts two star crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families causing a stretch of fair sky and sunny weather across all of Europe.

I don't know enough terms to make more puns


answer:
I believe that it is possible even may trigger another and lead to a big catastrophe by chance


answer:
Greenhouse gas is the effect of CO2 from the atmosphere on the temperature of the Earth. It is important because they determine the temperature on the planet which is stable enough for life to be sustainable. Without greenhouse gases, the temperature of the earth would be too cold for living things to survive.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the system in which carbon is released, stored and trapped. It is important as without carbon on earth, our life cycle would be disrupted and as would the balance of the natural world.


answer:
Weather is the effect of changes in the world. For example, due to an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere may cause the weather to react differently; hotter days (increase of temperature), more extreme seasonal effects. Climate is a little bit different from this, it is the 'weather' which is affected over the whole world and includes all aspects of the atmosphere.


answer:
Weather can be predicted but it is never 100% accurate. Weather changes all the time however a general forecast of what the weather will be like in the next few days is possible too.


answer:
Climate is affected by a variety of changes to the world's atmosphere and therefore it is quite difficult to predict. Maybe a short-term forecast can be seen but a long term change can also be predicted by comparing climate data (temperature etc) to climate events from before.


answer:
In a climate system, feedback can be seen in the way alb edo affects the temperature of the overall climate. The higher the albedo rate, the lower the temperature, but then it continues to decrease because as the temperature drops, more ice forms and the pattern continues. 
Another example is the ant model where the ants gave off a trail on its way to the food source allowing another ant to follow and the more ants that catch the trail, the larger the trail given off. Therefore the more trail given off, the more ants there will be and the quicker the food is taken.


answer:
In the sheep, wolf and grass model, a dynamic equilibrium is seen. Without one element of the cycle, the rest cannot continue with the same balance. For example, if there is no grass left because the sheep ate it all, the sheep will die out as there is no sustainable food source left. When the sheep die out, the wolves will have no more food to eat and they will eventually die out too. If there are no more wolves, there will be an abundance of sheep who will eat all the grass which will die out. Eventually when there is no food left for the sheep, they will disappear too.


answer:
An example of emergence is the bird flocking model. We don't know why, but the effect of cohesion, separation, allignment causes a pattern to emerge amongst the way the birds fly. The formation of the pattern is better seen by an increase in either of the three effects. Emergence is also seen in other places in the world, like the emergence of symmetry in plants, climate patterns etc.


answer:
Tragedy of the commons is the result of two similar aspects clashing together. (When a scientific error occurs)...


answer:
I think the climate system is stable, although there is an increase of co2 in the atmosphere, it does not necessarily cause an inbalance. From the data collected from past years, we can assume that even greater ups and downs have occured, not due to the effect of humans on the earth's climate but rather the effect of solar rays (sun). Overall, the global climate system right now is not something unseen before and is still sustainable/stable.


answer:
A butterflys effect on the air surrounding it may be large on a small scale, however on a large scale, it is very minute. This doesn't mean a snow storm cannot occur in Alaska due to a butterfly flapping its wings but the possibility of it is pretty slim. If the ripples in the air are joined by other ripples from different sources, it can be possible that the overall effect of the combined air ripples may meet other larger ripples and eventually build up to a snowstorm. However, Brazil being on the opposite end of the world to Alaska, the chance of a butterfly causing a snowstorm is very very small.


answer:
These are gases that block UV rays from the sun and let light come through. These gases are important because too many


answer:
No, climate is the overall weather conditions in a large area. Weather measures the more minor changes in a short amount of time


answer:
It can be predicted by humans to an extent, though the current weather does not match up to predictions.


answer:
Again, to an extent, but as climate covers a broader range of results, the prediction is more accurate than weather


answer:
No, it is not. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the worse products brought up by humans using unsustainable sources have made the global climate system less stable


answer:
Ultimately, this question relies on the power the cause to effect phenomenon has on our world.
First of all, a butterfly (assuming the question refers to butterflies today and not earlier in the earthâ€™s timeline when they were considerably bigger) is a relatively small creature in comparison to the earth and its air currents.
Consequently the air molecules moved by the butterfliesâ€™ wings are in a very small quantity, delivered by the air current of the world. This is why I believe this theory is impossible, save for the fact that the amount of â€œhelpâ€ the butterfly gives to cause a snowstorm in Alaska will be very minute if any.


answer:
Greenhouse gases are gases that contribute to the Greenhouse Effect (where light and heat enters Earth but gets trapped). They are important because they can effect Earth in a negative way in large scale, which will also affect life on Earth and the way Earth works.


answer:
The carbon cycle is the cycle of carbon where carbon is created (usually from factories) and is taken by nature which then transforms it into oxygen, which is then absorbed by animals, humans and insects, then transformed back into carbon dioxide. It is basically a cycle between the transformation between carbon and vice-versa. It is important for a balanced carbon cycle to maintain a healthy pollution-free world.


answer:
Weather and climate are different.
Weather is something that is short term, and only last for a day or a few days.
Climate is like weather, but is long-term which can last up to months.


answer:
Weather can be predictednas weather shows signs of change. This involves the colour of the sky, style of clouds, the weather of the last few days, etc


answer:
Climate can't be predicted, but the change in climate can. It can be predicted using weather data, and there are also climate stations situated in the world.


answer:
Not really sure what examples dynamic equilibrium in climate system are however I think examples of them are desserts, tropical rainforests ?


answer:
No, because climate change is beginning to greatly affect our lives and it is said that by 2014, the arctic icecap will have fully melted. It is unstable because it will greatly and negatively impact the future generations if there is no end.

answer:
I agree because the painted lanes can idicate drivers that the road is narrow


answer:
I believe the results do not show that lane lines should be painted on all narrow roads. The results say that with lines painted the cars on the road increased in speed which is a negative change. The results also say that the traffic is closer to the edge of a road which on a narrow road is a positive change. The other thing the results show is that the cars still go the same distance apart which is, with the increased speed, negative. This means that painting the lines on the road had 2 negative effects to two positive affects.


answer:
I disagree because speed increase and the closing distance to the edge of the road will inevitably cause more accidents. I believe that Peter should have put speed signs up, indicating a a decrease in speed is needed.


answer:
You need lines on the road because it makes you drive faster and its important to be able to drive as fast as you like incase you're late to some place.


answer:
My reasons for disagreeing is that not all roads are the same. HIghway lanes are different to surburban streets, therefore requiring different circumstances of lane lines.

If traffic overall moves quicker, then it is overall better for the flow of traffic and therefore decreasing the time of travel.


answer:
Granite and Plants

Aim: To find out if Granite dust effects the growth of plants.

Hypothesis: I think the Granite dust will effect the plants because the dust may cause the plant to stop growing.

Materials:
-Granite dust            -Large tray
-Plant with soil         -Safety goggles

Method:
1.Put on Safety goggles
2.Place the plant and soil in the large tray making sure the plant is still alive
3.Safely get the granite dust and place next to the plant on the soil
4.Wait a few days and observe if there has been any changes to the growth of the plant


answer:
I disagree because the purpose of lane lines was to decrease the speed of traffic and make vehicles more inline and a specific distance away from each other and the road so it would be safer. As the results show, the lane lines instead caused traffic speed to increase, positioning of vehicles too close to the edge meaning it would be more dangerous for pedestrians and the distance giving no change meaning that there is no decreasing risk of crashing or any other close encounter accidents.


answer:
When the traffic keeps nearer to the road, the risk of an accident will be greatly increased. This combined with the higher speed of the cars will create an overall less safe environment on narrow roads.


answer:
Having faster cars on a narrow road is dangerous as the room for moving is less. Having traffic nearer to the edges of the road with speeding cars will make the chance of an accident more.

answer:
I disagree because if the lines were painted people would be more careless of where they are driving because they think it is 'safe' just because of th lines. I think that if they were not drawn people would be more careful of where they are driving and would it may prevent more crashes or dangerous situations.


answer:
This will be more dangerous since the vehicles will have a higher chance of:
1. crushing the pathway. (closer to edges of road)
2. crushing pedestrians. (closer to edges of road)
2. crushing other vehicles (higher speed)

i agreee to put lines in the middle of the road because that it will make the traffic move faster which will help people not to be late


answer:
I agree because traffic congestion is a big problem in all developed countries around the world. The speed of the traffic may be faster and the distance to the side of the road may be closer but that is a small price to pay for the reduction of accidents.


answer:
This was the best decision as it makes the lanes clearer and allows people to stay in the correct lane. Without the lines, people would be unable to determine which area of the road to drive in.


answer:
I agree because the traffic moves more quickly making it more efficient for cars to travel to and from places.


answer:
Painting the lines on narrow roads improved Traffic as the traffic moves more faster, keeps the traffic near edges which prevents car crashed and assuming the distance was good before these are positive imorovements.


answer:
i disagree with this decision due to the fact that crashes can result when cars are too close to the edges of the roads. also people may have nowhere to walk if all the cars are really close to the edge of the road.


answer:
Grow a plant with normal soil and soil with granite in it and measure it every day to deermine its growth.


answer:
Title:Plant Destroyed by Dust?
Aim: To see if the granite dust would affect the plants.
Material: Granite dust, 2 pot plants
Method:
1. Place the one pot plant in a closed area filled with granite dust.
2. Place another pot plant in a clean room.
3. Check daily to see if the plants have any changes.
4. Compare the changes.


answer:
People will be able to move faster without thinking they will crash into someone else
It is more safe
people will not drive on the middle of the road


answer:
I agree with painting the narrow roads as drivers cna find it easier to drive without the fear of hitting other objects.


answer:
Aim: Founding the proof of the granite dust and plant growth
Materials: granite dust, construction materials, vegetables and fresh produce 
Method: 1.To found out if the granite dust would pollute their fruits and vegetables
2.Found the piling of granite in the farms
3. Prepare the shortage of construction materials 
4.Add  the granite dust 
5.Found proof for the granite dust
Conclusion : The shortage of the construction materials were part of the country's strategy to prepare.


answer:
Granite dust and Plant growth.

Aim: To find if granite dust pollutes plant growth.

Hypothesis: I think granite dust will distrupt plant growth.

Materials: 50g granite dust, 50g apple, 1 bowl.

Method: 

1. Place a 50g apple and 50g of granite dust together in a bowl.

2. Wait for 4 - 5 days to see if growth occurs.

Conclusion: Nurturing plants can't compensate with growth when granite dust overcomes it.


answer:
Because the traffic will be quick and does not change.Th traffic keeps near edges of the road.The road are better if they are narrow lines.


answer:
I strongly disagree with the postion the cars must go through. With an increase of traffic, narrow roads, accidents are more likely to occur when changing lanes.


answer:
Title: Granite-dust plants

Aim: To find out if granite dust effects plant growth.

Hypothesis: I think granite dust does not affect the plant growth.

Equipment: 2 pots, 2 flowers, 2 piles of granite.

Method: 1. Fill one cup with soil and granite and the other one with just soil.
2. Stick the flowers in.
3. Wait a few days and see which plant grew taller.

Results:

PLANT WITH GRANITE- GREW 30CM
PLANT WITHOUT GRANITE- GREW 30CM

Conclusion: The minister was right, granite dosen't affect plant growth.


answer:
I agree with this because firstly it allows drivers and other pedastrians to see clearly, secondly, Lines are there beacause it allows the motorists to drive more safely as they can see where their lane is, and finally, lines should be drawn because it looks cool on the road and make it more neat.


answer:
Equipment:
microscope
slide
dye
samples of vegetables grown by the farmers

Method:
1. place a small sample of one of the vegetables on a slide
2. put 1-2 drops of dye on the vegetable sample
3. place the slide in the microscope
4. adjust the focus of the microscope
5. If you see granite dust on the vegetables it has obviously been affected
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for some more types of vegetable


answer:
Experiment: 

hypothesis: Get all the samples from the farm and test them 

Method: Test The samples and create a graph

Result: Whatever it says on the graph


answer:
Granite Experiment

Hypothesis: I think that the granite will pollute all of the produce. I think that this is because granite can be a hazardous material that can poison easily if ingested or otherwise consumed. 

Method: Expose the fruit and vegetables to the granite and moniter the produce conditions over the next few weeks.

Results: The granite polluted all of the produce.


answer:
The farmer claims that the granite dust would pollute their fruits and vegtable because the minister decides to store the granite in their farms, the minister explained that the piling of granite in the farms was part of the country's strategy to prepare for any shortage of cinstruction material.
 

the farmer explains that the granite dust would damge the fruits and vegtable due from the granites dust

answer:
I think it is good to get painted roads because peope have their ways and i think it would make cars more organised such as people staying in their own lanes and pathways and so forth.


answer:
If the lines were painted on all narrow roads, some people might get confused about where to go or whether they should stay in the lines or whether they should drive like they normally would.


answer:
To test this experimenti would keep a pile of granite near some crops for a couple of days. I would also have some normal crops growing and harvest those. I would conduct a test on both crops and see the difference between them. They would require th same amount of sunlight and water.

-Bucket of granite
-Table

Steps
1)Empty fruit and vegetables onto table
2)Empty granite next to fruit andvegetables on table allowing dust to cover them
3)Once fruit and vegetables are covered in dust, observe


answer:
I disagree with having lines on this road because if their are people walking on a foot path near the road and cars are driving fast and near the edge their might be a accident involving going on to the path and may hurt or kill people


answer:
i think it is good to put lines on narrow roads so if cars opposite to eachother come through the road there will be less chance of them colliding.


answer:
Some cars may be too big to fit on their side of the road. They would be charged a fee just for having a large car.

-Granite dust

this experiment will take time, to examine it, you would have to have samples of the vegetable from time to time.


answer:
I agree because it is safer to have two lanes and there is no problem in the way of them.


answer:
having lane lines would cause the road to be more narrow, it would cause the bikers to go more near to the edge of the road.


answer:
Step 1) Collect fruit, vegetables, granite and two containers.

Step 2) Place half of the fruit and vegetables into a container with the granite and put the lid on.

Step 3) Place the other half of the fruit and vegetables in the second container and put the lid on it.

Step 4) Sit back and observe the results.


answer:
The reason for why I agree is because even if it didn't exactly change the way the traffic flows, it was worth the try to just see if it would do anything.

Hypothesis : The pilling of granite WILL affect the farmers produce.


answer:
ive already done this with my partner on a different account


answer:
I agree to this decision they made because if all the narrow roads move faster they will cause less traffic for the city.


answer:
1. Take two samples of fruit and vegetables, one from a site where there is no granite rock and one from a site that has granite rock.
2. Test the quality of the fruit and vegetables. If there is no change in quality the granite hasnt affected the fruit and vegetable. And if there is a changge in quality you now know the granite is directly affected the fruit and vegetable.


answer:
Having lines on the road stretch means that the cars are separated thus causing no car crashes.

answer:
Finding out if it was the rain that affected the growth of the plants or it was something else.


answer:
we would measure how much water we collect, how much the plants grow, how much water we use


answer:
the dependant variable would be the amount of soil surrounding the water tanks


answer:
i predict that water tanks will enable the farmers to use the water more efficiently and save money


answer:
i the water tanks absorb water vapors from the air and moist areas of soil on the ground


answer:
We measure the amount of leaves loss on the bush.


answer:
We put a fence around the bush or a cover that protects it from the supposed 'deer'.


answer:
I think that it will not be deer eating a virus but a bug or a virus that is slowly killing the trees.


answer:
Put a plant in the same space area and cover it with a protector and see if it loses leaves and if it does then it would be a bug or a virus and not deer that is eating the leaves.


answer:
Aim: To see if plants grow faster in a rainy year rather than a dry year 
 
Equipment: Pot, soil, seeds, watering can, water. 
 
Method: 
1. Put the soil into a pot. 
2. Place a seed in the middle of the pots. 
3. Label one of the seeds 'Dry Season' and the other 'Wet Season' 
4. Water the 'Wet Season' seed everyday and the 'Dry Season' one twice a week. 
5. Continue this process for how long you desire or until they are a reasonable size. 
6. Measure the height of each plant.


answer:
if they put water tanks on the farm they will gain more water and me able to use it more efficiently.


answer:
We will put a plant in a jar full of water and see if it grows if it does then the theory above is right.

-There are only two species of animals  
-There is an island wide drought 
-


answer:
bows and arrows used 
eat fish, meant ,nuts berries and taro 
practice fire stick farming


answer:
The planet Omosa is a dry and barren planet with decreasing amounts of wildlife because of the recent drought. Because of this drought, the yernt are dying out because of the decreasing amount of grass and the tooru are dying out because of the yernt dying and now the natives are feeling the effects because of the yernt and tooru both lessening in number so basically the ecosystem is falling into catastrophe.


answer:
The hills are sand, there are a lot of tree , appearance of dessert. There are many people who dance around the fire . There are animal skins, meat, lots of jewllary. They are a big tribe although very ccivilised with many offfices.  manu ceremonies. The weather station has many satlites and looks like a plane.


answer:
The reasearches are studying the population of Omosa and the animals. The lcalsin the village are studying the decrease of the local population. There are two villages on the island and two research stations. The animals of Omosa travel in large packs and the land is very arid. There are only a few animal species. And the locals practice fire dances and archery.


answer:
the reaserchers are studying the population of osmosa 
are studying the population.The animals of osmaosa are basically 
tigers, antelopes and birds


answer:
Yernt are dying out - grass is too dry according to Lynia, a hunter we met at the Village. We found a book in City Hall that is now a part of our collected items in our backpack. Omosa is very hilly and full of mountains. Some animals are scavengers that eat the deer.


answer:
-Lots of animals 
-Able to change gravity 
-Lots of jewellery 
-Animal skins 
-Meat 
-Native people 
-Research lab 
-Handcrafted weapons 
-Savanna habitat 
-People are really carefree and are dancing around the fire


answer:
The local people hunt the 'Yernt', a giant gazelle-like animal. 
The Yernt are dying out and a lot of the local people don't know why, but some people may have answers. 
Charlie, a person from the research team has suggested that the dry grass which is available to the Yernt is not nutritious enough to support them. An elder told me that the newer generations have been disrespectful to the Yernt and took them away from the sacred reserves on which they are found naturally.


answer:
Omosa is a very barren land. there are two species of animals.The hills are  very steep.


answer:
It is really laggy, making it hard to explore and observe. Therefore, we could not observe much. We merely get to see the hunting ground. The hunting grounds has a large group deers and cheetah. We also visited the research centre and met a guy. That guy was from Sydney and he is an ecologist and biologist. We also travelled to the village. In face we observed a group of people surrounding a camp fire. Despite that fact, we were unable to talk to them since the macbook was laggy and failed to response. We look forward to observe more another day when it is not that laggy.

answer:
we saw some deer and a bunch of hills and mountains and a villiage


answer:
the planet omosa looks like its dying out, it also looks like burnt out a lot of the land.


answer:
The people eat animals. The animals are dying. Different people (scientists and local people) have different opinions on why this is.


answer:
we found Charlies notebook, the rainfall on omosa, the tree ring sample data, field notes on the animals. It also has a research facility and many other things


answer:
The island is quite deserted with the exception of a few scientists and natives. The animals are constantly being hunted down.


answer:
many people use bows and arrows to hunt and kill food.   
the mostly hunt deer and bison 
there were 2 villiages in the map 
and


answer:
On day one we discovered many things. The first thing we saw was our location which was a sandy place with palm trees and bushes. We then saw some deer and cheetah looking kind of animals. We went to the research lab and then kept going on to a village with rooms with animal heads sticking from the walls.


answer:
At the top there is a archery area and a animal trophy area


answer:
Someone hunted animal heads and put their heads onto the side of their houses which seems like an accomplishment to him/her


answer:
The animal heads of yearn and tooru show the cultural significance of the animals to the villagers


answer:
the grasses have been burnt and the leaves on the trees have been burnt as well


answer:
there was a bushfire recently or someone purposely burnt that patch


answer:
The mammal has died a few hundred years ago and has consumed a plant into his body


answer:
We think that the fires were caused by scientists for research


answer:
The fossil made these fires (indies idea)


answer:
We would think that there was previous life on omosa


answer:
everyone has been doing the same thing ever since day 1, nothing much has changed just people celebrating in the village and students have been observing with their teachers in the weather lab.


answer:
We have found out that there was previous life on omosa that maybe the reason for interest of omosa. We have also found burnt out areas that most likely were caused by scientists for research. We also found out that this game is broken.


answer:
there are flying animals and fun villagers


answer:
Burnt out areas  
dry grass  
yearnt are dying out


answer:
Given there are burnt out areas it suggest that the climate is very hot causing fires. This could lead to the grass, which is food for the yearnt. The grass dying could be the reason the yearnt are dying out. The yearnt dying would then cause declines in the number of tooru which eat yearnt


answer:
Large mammal  
drought resistant plant in where the mammals stomach would be


answer:
The mammal was eating a drought resistant plant which could mean that it was dry and that was one of the only things to eat. The fact that the mammal fossil was found in the lake must mean that when it was alive there was no lake. This means that omosa was very dry.


answer:
when we first went into the village we saw people dancing around fires and an old man at a table with hunting tools and animal fur.behind him the old man was a hut and inside the hut there were animal haeds mounted on the wall.


answer:
therefore, there are people in the village. 
therefor, there are heads on the walls of the hut.


answer:
There were animal heads inside of the hall 
Animals were flying towards me i got scared and time warped back home to the village (Hogwarts)


answer:
The villagers work together and respect each other.


answer:
Many animal heads, most of the island is deserted with the exception of the hunting grounds. There are also close to no crops growing on the island.


answer:
Multiple animal heads within the village hall suggests that the people are great hunters but are also killing what they need most. The hunting grounds will soon not have any animals and the island will be completely deserted due to low numbers of animals. The human inhabitants will also die out quickly due to lack of food and vegetation.


answer:
I have learnt that on omosa there are two types of animal: Yearnt and tooru. The yearnt are antelope like mammals that are eaten by the tooru and the villagers. The tooru are leopard like predators. 
 
Recently, the yearnt numbers have started to decline. Omosa is in drought and there are remains of burnt out shrubs suggesting bush fires. There are many other signs that lead us to the fact the grass is drying out meaning that the yearnt cannot eat it or get the nutrients they need and so the drought is taking it's toll. 
 
Another major discovery was the finding of a land based mammals fossil at the bottom of the lake. The fact that the fossil was found in the bottom of the lake suggests that Omosa must have been very dry at the time this animal died and the lake must have dried out. 
 
Evidence has led us to believe that Omosa is drying out like at the time the fossil died.


answer:
i saw many things like animals jumping up and down and the nature. i also saw people researching and observing.


answer:
there were burnt trees in the area.  
there are many trees in the area.   
most of the grass is burnt. 
there was less than 250 animals on the island.


answer:
so there has been a fire in that area.  
so there was a fire recently. 
means that they haven't been breading too much


answer:
This experiment you get two plants and put them into different areas. You give one plant lots of water and sunlight. and for the other plant you do nothing at all


answer:
the burnt down areas are black and there are dead trees and the grounds cracked and around the burnt area there is alot of land and patches of grass.


answer:
therefore the burnt area is dead and surrounded by land and patches of dry grass.


answer:
It is too dry and the grass is not good enough to eat.


answer:
Drought is taking a toll. The soil is poor and the grass is not very nutritious.


answer:
The Tooru are killing the Yernt because the Tooru number are staying the same whilst the number of the Yernt are in decline.


answer:
Does not know, but thinks the planet might be too 
dry for the Yernt to eat the grass.


answer:
Thinks the drought is having a big effect on the planet. 
The soil is poor and the dry grass is not very nutritious.


answer:
Thinks the decreased rainfall is a contributing  
factor. The yernt need green grass and shrubs to  
survive,and with the decreasing population of the 
yernt, the tooru (predators of the yernt) aren't  
getting enough food either.


answer:
grass too dry unable for the Yernt to eat


answer:
drought, poor soil, poor grass nutrition allows the Yernt to die out due to no food


answer:
all starts with drought. due to poor rainfall the grass and shrubs are too brown for the Yernt to eat. Tooru also died out since there arnt enough Yernt to feed on. if drought is solved vegetation for the Yernt would return and food for the Tooru would also return


answer:
doesn't really know why the the yernt is dying out but  
suspects it is because the grass is to dry


answer:
He thinks the yernt might be dying out because of the soil being to dry for the grass to grow. He also suspects that floods could be having an impact on the wildlife. The fires that happen here could aalso be one of the reasons that the Yernt are dying out


answer:
She thinks that there is not enough rainfall in the are thus meaning the grasses can't grow, causing the yernt and other species to die out


answer:
He thinks the same thing that everyone else thinks, grasses are not growing and that there is a lack in rainfall


answer:
Maybe the grass is too dry for them to eat


answer:
The fire-ecology of omosa is effecting the grasses and food supply for yernt as well as the drought.


answer:
There is a major drought in progress, and because the grasses dry out ot affects the whole ecosystem


answer:
Thinks they omosans have been wasteful with their land and that after the drought nobody was respectful of it anymore.


answer:
The yernt are dying out because it is to dry and the weather is to hot and the grass is to dry to eat.


answer:
Soil cores show an increase in pollen belonging to fire loving plants. 
 
The density of char is higher than 40000 years ago. 
The yernt population is in decline.


answer:
the weather is not predictable in dry seasons, their is a major change every 7-10 years. 
There is a big drought now where it is getting hotter


answer:
Lynia doesnt have a very good idea of whats going on. She thinks it may be because of the dry grass and the heat that the yernt are dying out.


answer:
Charlie said that the natives have been farming fire-sticks for over 40,000 year and the char deposits underneath the soil have been building up so now the grass cant grow because the soil has been contaminated with the char and so the yernt's food source is lessening and they are dying out.Another factor would be the drought which is causing the soil to be less nutritious which means that the grass is barely feeding the yernt what they need.


answer:
The drought is causing the grass to dry out and therefore the yernt are not getting proper nutrition.


answer:
The tooru numbers are 15 and the yernt numbers are 80


answer:
Lyina believes that the Yernt are dying out because the grass on planet Omosa is too dry for them to eat, which means that the species may not be getting enough nutrients.


answer:
Charlie has discovered the the herbivorous species, the Yeernt, is declining in numbers.


answer:
Zafirah discovered that the Omosan weather system follows a simple pattern of wet and dry seasons. She also found out that there is a major change in weather patterns every 7-10 years.


answer:
There are 15 Tooru and 80 Yernt on planet Omosa.


answer:
Lyina doesn't know why Yernt are dying out. She suspects it is too dry and there's not enough grass to eat.


answer:
Charlie has discovered that the amount of pollen is increasing in the grass. Also, the density of char has been too high from 40,000 years ago onwards. The population of herbivores is also decreasing. Finally, the soil is poor and the grass is too dry.


answer:
The weather cycle has been acting up. Omosa has wet and dry seasons, however when the dry season comes is unpredictable. Omosa is in the middle of a drought at the moment. Also, it has been getting hotter over the past years. Zafirah reckons that the ecological unbalance all starts with the drought.


answer:
Lyina believes that the grass is becoming drier and the Yernt and the nutrients from the grass are being deprived due to the dryness


answer:
Charlie believes that the fire-ecology of Omosa is affecting the climate. He says it is making the soil poor and the grass dry. The drought on Omosa is also taking its toll. The grass is not as nutritious but that is not what the main cause of the change in numbers


answer:
Zafirah also thinks that the drought is affecting the Yernt. Without steady rainfall the grass goes brown and dies. Without the grass the Yernt cannot feed and die


answer:
Villagers cut down forests where the yernt lived to make room for settlements.


answer:
There are lower amounts of tooru than grass and yernt in Omosa.  
When numbers of yernt increase grass decreases. 
When population of tooru increases population of yernt decreases.


answer:
Least rainfall during July and November 
Most rainfall during December and January


answer:
I have found that the Osmosans may have used fire ecolgy.


answer:
the omosa weather system is really intresing.it seems  to be governed by a kind cyclical pattern of wet and dry seasons, only it is not completely predictible when the dry seasons happen.we call this pattern GOO (great omosan oscilation). it seems that there is a major change in the weather about every 7-10 years, but there are also non-reapeted events like gradual drying up of lakes.


answer:
he documents about the animals and how they hut them he also documents about how they are dying out.


answer:
The yernt are dying out but breeding like crazy and the Toruu numbers are staying the same but very low and their are only about 76 Yernt


answer:
tree rings grow larger over a period of time. And that the humans are killing all the animals and then the humans start to die out


answer:
The Yernt are probably dying out because the area is dry and the grasses don't provide enough nutrient for the animals.


answer:
The soil cores show an increase in pollen belonging to the fire loving plants and these increases seem to concide with the uptake of fire-stick farming on Omosa which has been happening for at least 40,000 years. The density of char deposits is quite high too dating from 40,000 years ago and onwards. The Yernt herbivore population is at a decline. My assistants have also figured out that the island of Omosa supported a lot more Yernt 100 years.


answer:
Lyina, 'The Shining One' is one of the best hunters in Omosan and mainly hunts yernt as the main food source. She has lived in the village all her life and started hunting as soon as she got to learn to shoot a bow & arrow. 
Lyina is unsure why the yernt are dying out but she thinks it is mainly because of the dry grass.


answer:
Charlie is a bioligist, mainly an ecologist to be exact. He is on a research mission from the IEIA  and is there to find out why the Omosan ecosystem is unbalanced.  
Charlie says the poor dry grass is not very nutritious for the Yernt to live from same for the tooru.


answer:
Zarifah is an expert on climate and weather systems. She also has a PhD on meteoroligy and a master's degree in statistics. She has also lived in Omosa for three years for the IEIA mission. 
Zarifah thinks that the draught is causing the unbalanced ecosystem.


answer:
Number of Tooru are staying the same whilst grass and Yernt are in decline


answer:
Tree ring with decreases meaning that it is going through drought.


answer:
1. -10 years from present = 2.0 mm (Tree ring width) 
2. 0 years from present =0.3 mm (Tree ring width) 
Conclusion: 
Decreased because not enough water due to drought.


answer:
Most of the average rainfall occurred in January and December.


answer:
The yeernt are the herbivores, and the Tooru eat the yeernt. The osmosans also cultivate Taro


answer:
The Tooru population stays the same, and the grass and yeernt have dependent cycles i.e more grass more yeernt


answer:
The rainfall is at its least June and is on a cycle and is also on a nine year wet dry cycle.


answer:
A) What is known is that Omosa is going through drought and the grass is degrading, and the Tooru are not affected but the Yernt are. 
B) What is NOT known is what exactly is killing off the Yernt since there are many different causes that could be doing it. Also we don't know what is causing the drought.


answer:
What is known is that the numbers have been decreasing of all species. This is caused becasue of the natives killing of the animals then as the animals have nothuing to eat because of the bad conditions the natives run out of a food source this causes the native to die out 
Rainfall also plays a big part in the growth of grasses from which the animals eat, recently the grasses have been up and down in the chart because of less than adequate rainfall. 
 
What is not known is the reason why rainfall has not been more frequent, and why the toruu population can't gain more numbers like the Vernt.


answer:
Yernt are massive herbivores. Tooru work like a pack of wolves tearing their victim to shreads. Yernt wonder around looking for their previous homes. they tend to look for greener lands.


answer:
Tooru losing numbers drastically. grass growth isn't sufficient and non stable.


answer:
She do not know why. Her hypothesis is that the grass is too dry and not healthy.


answer:
'The soil cores are really interesting. They show an increase in pollen belonging to the fire-loving plant...'  
'...The soil is poor and the dry grass is not very nutritious.' 
They're in a dry period. Therefore, there is little rainfall.


answer:
It is definitely the drought that caused the decreased rainfall. There is a possibility that the climate changes have changed towards a more arid climate. Without these steady rains, the grasses on Omaso would go brown and die. Yernts rely on juicy green grass and shrubs. Therefore many yernt died and there is not enough yernt for tooru.


answer:
Tooru are vicious brutes, wolf like attacking methods. Yernt are timid and shy.


answer:
Width of tree rings are getting smaller.


answer:
Rainfall is decreasing. Wet season is generally around March to May.


answer:
The tree ring width has been declining every year


answer:
The booklet shows the declining number of tooru, the up and down number of Yernt and the up and down amount of grass. The population of people has been declining for some time but the other wildlife has stayed the same since the beginning of the recording


answer:
The months of the year that receive the most rainfall are January,February, March


answer:
Yernt are hunted for their skin and meat, understandably timid. 
Tooru are vicious brutes, predators of the Yernt, dotted like leopards


answer:
Demonstrates the decrease in numbers of Yernt over time


answer:
Demonstrates the decrease in rainfall from 2001-2010


answer:
The tuuro are vicious brutes while the yernt are  
timid creatures


answer:
Wet season is generally AROUND MARCH AND MAY


answer:
There is a drought in Omosa, which is drying out the vegetation. The vegetation on the planet is the yernt's only food source, so the yernt are starting to die out. This affects the other species of animal on Omosa, the tooru, as the yernt are their primary food source. Rainfall has been decreasing on Omosa ever since 2001. The population of the tooru is considerably lower than that of the yernt. The Omosans believe they have been wasteful with their resources. 
 However, the precise reason as to why the yernt and tooru are dying out is still not known, even though the primary hypothesis is the decreasing amount of grass and vegetation on Omosa.


answer:
We know that the planet is in a period of drought. Rainfall is relatively frequent


answer:
What is known is that the weather changes and soil types have an effect. What isn't known is what is the cause of the disappearances and appearances of the Tooru and Yernt.


answer:
The information found shows that the planet of Omosa has gone through a lot of change since when the planet was first discovered. The herbivorous species of 'Yernt' has had declining numbers. This may be because of the change in habitat. Omosa used to have very lush forests, although now it is barren with very dry grass.


answer:
The information we have gathered is that 
 
-The Yernt has decreased dramatically in population (approx. 80 on the hunting grounds) 
-Rainfall has decreased over the last 10 years affecting grass growth 
-The main contributor to the Yernt dying is that the drought has affected grass growth and the  
Yernt cannot eat and are dying 
 
What we do not know is 
 
-The cause of the sudden drought and decrease in rainfall


answer:
Some known factors are the amount of animals, 
the behavior of animals, and the seasons of weather


answer:
Yernt are great big herbivores that are large in size. 
Tooru's are carnivore's that feast on Yernt's mainly and are a lot like wolves.


answer:
On December 2010 Omosa had the most rainfall, 500 mm.  
On November 2009 Omosa had the least rainfall with 0 mm.


answer:
The explorer's journal gives information on the native plants and animals. The Yernt is a large herbivore, which the Omosans hunt for its meat and hide. The Tooru are vicious carnivores who hunt the Yernt. The journal also says that thousands of years ago, Omosa was lush, with many birds and other species living in it.


answer:
-There is a lot of Yernt heads hanging up. 
 
-There are some Tooru heads hanging


answer:
-They take pride in the Yernt they capture. 
 
-Tooru are hard to kill.


answer:
Hanging on the wall is only the head and it is most likely stuffed which shows that the natives try and use all of the animal rather than getting the good bits and leaving the rest.


answer:
The animal skins are hung on the wall are used as trophies to show the strength and hunting prowess of the natives


answer:
There are hunting trophies, a table and books 
,records


answer:
They have been hunting, and take pride in what they 
catch 
They record their research


answer:
Some old notes by an explorer titled 'Field notes on the flora and fauna of Omosa', a book titled 'Records' and different heads hanging on the wall.


answer:
The old person outside the hall told me that the heads were hunting trophies. This is the most likely cause of the heads. As for the books, I collected the flora & fauna book, but not the 'records' book. The flora and fauna book was written by an outsider, an explorer, which means that other explorers have been here before us.


answer:
-The burnt areas are controlled and confined. 
 
-Spinifex grass grows near the burnt out areas.


answer:
-The native tribes initiated and controlled the burns. 
 
-Spinifex grass grows easier in burnt areas.


answer:
-The plant survived, while the animal didn't.


answer:
-The animal died of water loss, in a drought season, and the plant survived as it was drought-resistant.


answer:
animals only found in fertile areas 
fire farming is destroying habitats of the animals 
the animals are being hunted by the village people, hunted animals are being displayed in the hut at the top of the hall of the Omosa village


answer:
since the Yernt are only available in one area the Tooru have gathered in one area to feed on the Yernt. also the Yernt are being hunted by the Omosans. this will result in the Yernt dying out and the Tooru dying out after.


answer:
There is new vegetation already growing over the burnt out patches.


answer:
There are burnt out patches because the natives regularly light fires to rejuvenate the soil so that new crops will flourish in nutrient rich soil.


answer:
We couldn't find the fossil or anything to do with it.


answer:
The drought resistant plant may have died out because of the mammals eating it in a drought and then the mammals could have died out because of the lack of food because the drought resistant plant may have been the only drought resistant plant on omosa.


answer:
At the hall, we saw many animal skins and animal trophies.


answer:
The inhabitants have many animal skins because they like hunting and gathering. They want to show off their skills and are very fond of hunting.


answer:
I Observed that there are a lot of wolf heads, yernt heads. There was a lot some wool and there was a supply of wool. The book explained about the weather, the plants and animals.


answer:
There are less yernts.  
There are less wolves. 
To keep as a memory 
To keep records of previous results of weather and animals.


answer:
the observations that we made was that there was a lot of yernt heads, wool and there was a book which explained about the animals and plants around the area.


answer:
According to the book, the carnivore, tooru relies on the herbivores, yernts. The Settlers (Islanders) demolished forests,destroying the yernts' habitat.  
They also burnt fire like the Aboriginals to develop the crops/plants in a better way.   
However, these methods will influence the population of yernts and tooru This is because yernts are loosing their habitats and foods which is also an issue for the tooru since the tooru relies on the yernts.   
These observations concluded that yernts and tooru are influenced negatively by the settlers.


answer:
We have learned that the natives of omosa hang animal skins on the wall of their hall to show off their strength and prowess, we learned that the natives burn out patches of land to regrow vegetation and we learned that there was a fossil of a mammal found with the remains of a drought resistant plant in its stomach.


answer:
The areas that they burnt were controlled.


answer:
Because they were in such small quantities, they were obviously set off by the villagers.


answer:
The mammal was fossilized and most of its body was preserved.


answer:
The mammal most likely died in a severe drought.


answer:
-There are many  animal skin species on osmosa


answer:
In Omosa there have been many things that we have seen. One of the main problems in Omosa is the loss of yernts which is mainly due to the fact of the draught which is making the grass dry and unhealthy for the animals. Throughout our observations in Omosa we have seen a lot of heads of the animals to show what they have captured in village huts. We also have seen the spinifex grass has been growing near the burnt out areas in Omosa. Fossils at the lake bed was also found which was most likely because the animal died of water loss during the drought season.


answer:
Trophies from hunting and a few books on a table. There is another table with nothing on it, on the other side of room. There are Yernt heads displayed on the walls.


answer:
The Yernt have been slaughtered by the hunters.


answer:
-A fossil of a large mammal has been found in a lake bed on Omosa and there are remains of a drought- resistant plant in the parts of the fossil corresponding to the mammal's stomach. What might you infer from this finding?


answer:
-A long time ago there were plants that were resistant to the drought


answer:
My ideas for this experiment is to choose a 
week that is forecast to be very hot and dry. 
I will then place soil in two cups and place 
a group of easily growing seed in each of the 
cups. One of the cups will receive water 
regularly and will not receive any.


answer:
Do plants grow better when supplied with  
water?


answer:
I believe that plants do grow better when 
supplied with a frequent source of water


answer:
An independent variable is a variable 
(often noted by x) that does not depend on 
that of another. It is the variable that 
is measured.


answer:
The dependent variable (often noted by y) 
is the variable that is depended on by other 
variables.


answer:
1. The people have been burning the land to encourage crops to grow, but it is too dry for it to grow.


answer:
1. Remains of a drought resistant plant inside a fossil of a large mammal


answer:
1. The plant has evolved to adapt to the conditions of Omosa. This is a way we can restore the balance of plants and animals!


answer:
Burnt grass patches 
Traditional beliefs told from people


answer:
Grasses are burned for tradition in belief that other plants will grow healthier.


answer:
Whale shaped 
Turned into a weather station


answer:
There patches of burnt out areas alternating with clumps of dry spinifexgrass.


answer:
there has been a bushfire due to the drought.  
To replace grass for food for the animals


answer:
A fossil of a large mammal has been found in a lake bed on Omosa and there are remains of a drought- resistant plant in the parts of the fossil corresponding to the mammal's stomach.


answer:
the water resistant plants are recycling the food for nutrients as they have no source of WATER


answer:
-One species of animal in the hall cannot be found in the hunting grounds 
-head and skin of animals


answer:
-Some species on Omosa have become extinct  
-could say they hunted for decorations


answer:
osmosa is a nearly dead area. The animals that are native to the area are all dying out and the indigenous people are killing the wildlife and not letting them breed so they are slowly going to starve. 
 
The native plants are suffering from drought and the only drought resistant plant is dead, so soon there will be no food left for the animals to eat. The plants are all dying out and the animals are eating them to fast. Salinity poisons the soil and soon there will be no good earth left for plant life. 
 
The animals are being hunted by the natives and other larger animals. They are slowly dying out. the native people are insane and eat too much of the meat. The animals are dying out and that will lead to starvation of the people. Osmosa is a dying island. 
 
The researches are doing nothing to help although they try to. GG


answer:
Fires may have originated in main area, then spread slightly to surrounding areas.


answer:
We have found small-medium sized burnt-out patches in the hunting grounds. The most likely cause for this is that the people have been burning the land to encourage crops to grow, but it is too dry for it to grow. 
We need to educate the Omosan people about this. 
 
**MAJOR NEWS** 
Remains of a drought resistant plant have been found inside a fossil of a large mammal. This sort of plant has evolved to adapt to the harsh conditions of Omosa. This is possibly a way that we can restore the balance to the island of Omosa!!


answer:
The animals are only found near the hunting ground and areas with grass.There are a lot of animals skins in the village. The population of Yernt on Omosa is decreasing quickly. The heads displayed in the village hall are of the Yernt, the Tooru and other species. There is a drought in Omosa.


answer:
The grass is black 
The trees have no leaves and are black 
The soil is grey in some parts


answer:
Therefore fries have happened recently 
Therefore fires had torched the plants 
Therefore salinity has happened here and the fires have burnt it


answer:
The continent of Omosa is suffering in a drought, which is causing all the native animals to die. 
When the animals of Omosa start to go extinct, all the people of the planet will start to suffer and die. And since there seems to be no edible plant matter on the continent, all the humans will have to evacuate or they will die.


answer:
there are dead trees around the patch and there are clumps of dry spinifex grass.


answer:
There has been a bush fire causing this patch of grass to die.


answer:
there is a fossil of a large mammal beside the lake bed


answer:
Therefore, there must be mammals in Omaso thousands of years ago. Probably, the mammals' habitat would be somewhere in the lake. Probably the lake used to have no water and is a clear land.


answer:
She thinks that maybe its too dry and the grass isn't good for them to eat


answer:
Thinks it could be several things. He says that the fire ecology of Omosa holds some clue to the changes in vegetation. But he doesn't believe that the sharp decline in yearnt could be caused by that alone. He thinks the drought could be effecting the yearnt as the soil is poor and the dry grass are not very nutritious.


answer:
Thinks that the drought is the cause of the yearnt dying. Without rain the grasses on Omosa go brown and die. The yearnt can not feed properly without juicy green grass and shrubs. She also thinks that then there will not be enough food for the Tooru either.


answer:
it is a very easy thing to do  
  
simply get to plants and water one and leave the other.


answer:
I think that the plant with the water shall grow and the other plant shall not


answer:
We can change the plants so both have water or neither have water.


answer:
We measure how much water we put onto the plant


answer:
Every day it rains, collect the rainfall and water the plants.


answer:
If this is the situation, then most of the plants will receive their water requirements. The consequences will mean that most of the plants will die out due to low water levels. The reason is because some of the plants will receive water and others will not.


answer:
the plants receive water otherwise they might die out due to low water


answer:
the amount of water that the plants receive


answer:
Fence off the deer so that the trees ay grow without being eaten.


answer:
If this is the situation then the trees will die out and the deer will also die due to the lack of vegetation for the deer to feast on.


answer:
The tree growth when compared to when they were near the deer.


answer:
drought 
tooru:15  
yernt:80  
grass may not be good for the yernt to eat 
hunting trophies 
dry ashlike grass and burnt trees


answer:
decreased rainfall 
therefore, they hold hunting challanges of some kind 
therefore, a fire burnt that area


answer:
because the grass is too dry for them to. the Omosans eat fish, meat and also gather nuts,seeds and berries. they grow taro if there not getting enough meat. they don't eat tooru for meat but they use them for fur. the omosans live here their whole life and start hunting when they learn and old enough to shoot an arrow


answer:
the soil cores are really interesting 
they show an increase in pollen belonging to the fire loving plants and this increase seems to coincide with the uptake of fire-stick farming on omosa which has been happening for at least 40,000 years , as long as there were omosans. The density of char deposists is quite high too dating from 40,000 years ago and onwards . Also the yernt herbivore population is indeed in decline.


answer:
See how many animals are being hunted each day 
 
What caused the fires ( test the gravel from the burnt areas) 
 
What is the fossil in the middle of omosa. 
 
What do the people from the village eat and drink?


answer:
Aim: See how many animals are being hunted by each day 
 
Method: At the beginning of the day see how many animals they're are and after about 6 hours then see how many animals are left. 
 
Equipment: Binoculars, A graph, pen, paper,


answer:
Lyina means 'shining one' in Omosan, she is one of the best hunters. Lyina hunts Yernt and on the rare occasion Tooru, but only for their fur. She mainly hunts in fields and woodlnads.


answer:
Charlie is originally from Sydney, he is on a research mission from IEIA to find out why the Omosan ecosystem is unbalanced. He mainly gets his information from observing or uses soil cores to help find out how the vegetation has changed over a long period of time. Soil cores show show an increase in pollen from fire-loving plants, density of char deposits is high. Yernt herbivore population is in decline.


answer:
Was it the rain that affected the growth of the plants or was it something else ?


answer:
My hypothesis is that it WAS the rain that affected the growth of the plants.


answer:
change the dirt and soil to test weather it improve  
the growth of the plants and vegetables


answer:
I used the settings: Off show energy, 60 grass regrowth time, On fire stick farming, 70 percent burnt grass, On drought, drought severity level 30, 139 initial yernts, 87 initial toorus and 32 initial omosans. The Omosans died out first. The Yernt and Toorus eventually died as well due to lack of food.


answer:
We Used fire sticks and and increased our burnt percentage for the grass we also turned on drought and made the severity level 95. After we did all these things we saw that all the animals (tooru) we diminishing very quickly. We think this because there was no food for the animals so they died of starvation.


answer:
He should feed some of the Geebung leaves to various animals in the park including the deer and test which animal eats the most of them


answer:
Are the deer in the park eating the Geebung Trees?


answer:
I believe that Out of all the animals that I feed the leaves the deer will eat most. This will mean that it is extremely likely that it is the deers who are eating the park's Geelong trees.


answer:
The animal we test weather eats the leaves


answer:
Finding out if there are deer in the PARK AND IF THEY ARE THE ONES EATING THE LEAVES.


answer:
Are there deer living in the park?  
Are the deer eating the leaves ?


answer:
My hypothesis is that there ARE deer living in the park and these deer ARE eating the leaves from the trees .


answer:
the area of the trees are which are placed and fence off the area untill the trees grow bigger.


answer:
we measure the hight of the trees and the speed there growen


answer:
The differences are that the animals are eating and they're are a lot more of them than the netlogo model that we created. We think this because on Netlogo we burnt everything and made life very difficult for the animals.


answer:
The similarities are that the map is the same the AI is the same and that the fossil seems to be the same.


answer:
there are many villagers living at the village


answer:
You get two yernt and you put one in a area with lots of water and and food and you put the other one with very little water and food and see which survives longer. this will prove that the drought is killing the yernt.


answer:
If the situation is that the yernt have no water we think they die in large numbers  
  
Then the consequence is that the villagers will starve because they have no food to hunt.   
  
And the reason is that the drought is causing this.


answer:
We should change the environment  to a better area for the animals.


answer:
We measure how many animals have been killed over an amount of area.


answer:
Is the volume of water in the lake declining?

the speed that the trees are growing. 
who dry is the grass in omosa.


answer:
aim to see how fast the deer and the tooru are dieing out. 
hypothesis: i think that the tooru are dyeing out because the grass is too dry to eat


answer:
Effects of Water on Plant Growth 
 
Aim: To see whether rainfall effects the growth of plants. 
 
Materials: 
 
-two plants (of identical species) 
 
-two equal sized pots 
 
-soil (of the same type) 
 
-water 
 
-ruler 
 
Method: 
 
1. Plant the plants in the pots with soil, making sure they are both identical. 
 
2. Water one of the plants with water, but leave the other. 
 
3. Measure the growth of each plants. 
 
4. Repeat daily.


answer:
The additional rain on the farm caused the plants and crops to thrive, but now with less rain the plants are drying out and dying. My idea is to plant carrot seeds in two pots and store them in equal sunlight. I will water them every day with 100mls of water. However, for the first pot, I will add 100mls to the water to show results for additional rain.


answer:
does the amount of water effect the growth of plants


answer:
I think the amount of water given to the two plants will effect effect how much one or the other grows. I believe that the first pot (with the increased amount of water) will flourish more than the second pot.


answer:
The amount of water being given to each plant.


answer:
How much the plants grow with the different amounts of water being given to them.


answer:
testing if grass grows because of the additional rain and water 
Testing if water grows differently in different climates 
If the grass grows better with more water


answer:
Does the grass grow more better in different climates or with more water?


answer:
If the situation is the animals have no food and then the consequence is the grass decreases growth and the reason is the weather climate is more drier


answer:
1.removing the natives and seeing if the animals come back 
 
2.Put in some different plants and see if they work 
 
3.Follow the Yernt and see if there is another cause of them dying out

answer:
-place motion activated cameras around the bush to 
observe who comes in contact with it


answer:
To see whether deer are eating the Geebung trees in the national park.


answer:
If the situation is that deer eat the Geebung trees, then the consequence is that Geebung trees will be eaten regulary by the deers and the reason is because the deer enjoy the taste of Geebung trees and they supply the necessary  nutrients.


answer:
We will change which plants are left near the deer 'herd'.


answer:
Which plants are eaten the most be the deer.


answer:
Aim: To see if plants grow better with higher water supply. 
Materials: 
Method: 
1) Fill up containers with soil and place plants in soil. 
2) Supply one plant with any amount of water and double that for the other plant. 
3) Repeat step 2 every day for 2 weeks. 
4) Record how high the plant has grown


answer:
is the weather/climate affecting the enviroment? 
Why is the yernt population decreasing?


answer:
our farm's crops are not as healthy as last year. We think this is due to the additional rainfall last year. We are worried that our farm will not thrive and therefoer we will be ruined.


answer:
Does additional rain affect the growth of the crops?


answer:
I think that if there is more rainfall the crops will flourish!


answer:
We will change the amount of artificial rainfall.


answer:
We will Measure how well the crops do by measuring the growth in millimeters.


answer:
To find out if the geebung trees' leaves are eaten by the leaves.


answer:
Did the deers ate the geebung trees' leaves?


answer:
If the situation is the geebung trees' are losing then the consequence is they will die out and the reason is because the deers are eating it.


answer:
The idea that we have is to provide the garden with extra water so that the plants will grow as they did during the rainy season. Our experiment would be to observe plants with and without additional water.


answer:
Will additional water help to make the plants grow faster during the drought?


answer:
We think that the additional water will help to make the plants grow faster during the drought.


answer:
The independent variable is the amount of water that the plants are provided.


answer:
It think that the geebung trees are getting eaten by the deer


answer:
We will change if there are deer in a certain area of Geebung trees


answer:
Test if the deers eat the Geebung tree leaves  
Test is the Geebung trees are just dying due to weather or other things


answer:
Are the Geebung tree leaves dying due to weather or deers eating them?


answer:
If the situation is the Geebung tree is dying then the consequence is the trees go extinct and the reason is the deers are eating them.


answer:
The independent variable is changing the place where the Geebung trees leaves


answer:
The dependent variable is whether the Geebung tree growth increases


answer:

Find two geebung trees with deer living near them and monitor them daily to see if they are eating the trees.


answer:
To find out if deer are eating the leaves of the geebung trees.


answer:
Looking at the evidence, I do believe that the deer are eating the geebung trees.


answer:
We measure the healthiness of the tree to see if the deer are eating them.


answer:
1. There is a fossil of a large mammal beside the lake bed. 
2. There are dead trees around the patch and there are clumps of dry spinifex grass. 
3. Tooru relies on yernts. 
4. Less rainfall may cause plants to die. 
5. Controlled fire like the Aborigines can develop the plants/crops in a better way.


answer:
To keep the geebung trees safe by watering it and fertilising it. We could also remove the deer from the are for one week and see if the amount of leaves change.


answer:
Are the deer eating the leaves from the Geebung trees?


answer:
We think that the deer are eating the leaves from the Geebung trees.


answer:
The independent variable is the amount of deer in the area.


answer:
The dependent variable is the leaves on the Geebung trees.


answer:
'Why is the weather/climate affecting the envioment 
Testing which conditions affects omosa the most  
Why there is a water decrease?


answer:
Put a deer into captivity. 
Feed the deer one geebung tree.


answer:
To find out if the deer are eating the geebung trees.


answer:
I believe that the deer will eat the geebung tree, as it is its only food source. However, I don't believe the deers are eating the geebung trees.


answer:
If the deer does eat the tree within a short timeframe, we will move the deer from the trees.


answer:
We measure how quickly the deer eats he tree.


answer:
We believe that if you remove the deer from the area for a week and see if the trees lose the same amount of leaves. Or we can pick up leaves from the trees and place them in an enclosure with the deer and observe.


answer:
To work out why the Geebung Trees are losing their leaves?


answer:
- Salinity of river water 
- Yernt dying 
- tree growth 
- soil density 
- soil dryness


answer:
Yeernt Dying 
 
You could count the amount of yernt every day and record the results in an area with or without dry grass.


answer:
This experiment will be tedious and take a long time but it will be worth it.


answer:
If the situation is true then the consequence is extermination and the reason is yolo


answer:
we change the place where the plants are being grown


answer:
To get animal and see if it eat the plant


answer:
To put animal in confined space with plant and other plants and see if they eat the plant. 
Another animal in another room with the same other plants and se if they eat the plant


answer:
I think the animal will eat the plant because animals eat plants if they are herbivores or omnivores


answer:
1. Remove the natives from omosa for a week. 
2.If you can see numbers increasing then you know that the natives are the problem 
3.Record results


answer:
- Isolated area with recording camera, one geebung tree and deer


answer:
Aim: To see whether the deers have an impact on the damaging of the geebung trees in the area 
Equipment:  
- Recording cameras 
- Deer 
- Isolated area within the park 
- One geebung tree 
Method: 
1. Place recording cameras around area beforehand. 
2. Bring in the deer in the isolated park area with single geebung bush. 
3. Allow recording to begin. 
4. Wait after a week and observe results through recording camera 
5. Record results and compare to geebung tree that is not inhabitated with deers.


answer:
I predict that the deers have affect of the damage on the geebung trees.


answer:
Area between inhabited deer and isolated area.


answer:
The effect the deer does to the geebung trees.


answer:
- Organise more sessions for watering crops  
- Make sure that soil is fertile and ready for planting crops in before doing so  
- The soil quality may have been better last year, so that might be one of the reasons that the crops were growing well  
- Use good quality mulch and other products for your soil  
- Always make sure that the crops are getting the necessary amount of water


answer:
If  the farm is properly taken care of, will the crops grow as well as they did last year, even without as much rainwater?


answer:
If the situation is that the crops were growing well last year due to a lot of rainwater, and that this year they are not growing well at all, which must mean that the reason is because they are not receiving much rainwater.  
We can solve this by trying to give the crops larger amounts of water to see a better result


answer:
We can change the amount water we can give the crops - increasing the amounts.


answer:
We measure the amount of rainfall the crops have been receiving, and also the amount of water we are giving the crops.


answer:
1. To find out if the native animals are suffering because of a drought. 
2. To see if the carnivorous species are eating too many herbivores and upsetting the food chain. 
3. To see if spinifex grass grows best around previously burnt areas.


answer:
Spinifex Grass Growth 
 
Materials; 
Spinifex seeds. 
2 small free patches of grass. 
Matches. 
 
Method; 
1. Set fire to 1 of the patches of grass. 
2. Plant half of the seeds in burnt patch, and half near the non-burnt patch. 
3. Wait and record findings.


answer:
Run a experiment on the fresh produce in the land. Test the Yernt in other areas in Omosa to see if they can survive. Create farms in other ares to see if the plants grow faster. Test to see why the population of Yernt is decreasing quickly.


answer:
'Create farms in other areas to see if the plants grow faster.' We could create farms in three other areas in Omosa and discover which area makes the plants grow fastest.


answer:
1) To observe how many Yernt die every day. 
2) To observe the actions of the Omosan natives and the Toorus (i.e. biotic factors) and their impact on the Yernt. 
3) To observe the drought/weather conditions (i.e. abiotic factors) and their impact on the Yernt.


answer:
3) To observe the drought/weather conditions (i.e. abiotic factors) and their impact on the Yernt.


answer:
- It may be other animals that are demolishing the trees, not just the deer  
- If the deer is a threat to the trees, there may be an alternative habitat to place them (one with no geebung trees)


answer:
If the deer are placed in an alternative habitat with a different food source, will this impact well on the geebung trees


answer:
The situation is that the geebung leaves are losing their leaves and dying out due to the deer eating them. If the deer are placed in a different habitat with different food, this will help the trees recover.


answer:
We will see the trees improving their condition


answer:
there are a wheater station and hunting grounds


answer:
set up geebung tree in small area to see if deer eat them, set up another tree in a area where the deer can't reach, come back in one week to compare if the leaves in the deer area have been eaten.


answer:
To see if the deer are eating the geebung tree leaves.


answer:
If the situation is that the tree leaves are being eaten by the deer, i think that the trees will die.


answer:
place the Yernt in a different area to see if the Yernt would survive in the area 
test to see if fire farming would increase the production of Spinifix grass 
test if the trees are growing properly,if not they could be affecting the soil which is growing the grass


answer:
The Settings I Used Were: 
 
-Grass Regrowth: 75 
-Fire Stick Farming: On 
-Percentage Burnt Grass: 15 
-Drought: On 
-Drought Severity: 75 
- 
 
 
 
It is clear in our simulations that the numbers 
of Yernt are affected by the amount of Toorus, 
Omosans, the Grass Regrowth Time and the  
percentage of burnt land during fire stick farming 
This created an equilibrium and did not change.


answer:
Title- Crops with water or without  
Aim- To see if crops would grow better in rainy 
weather or dry weather 
Method-1.Take two of the same crops from each  
farm  
2. Place one of them in a place where the climate  
is more wet then dry, thus a rainy environment  
3.Place the other in a dry climate without a lot  
of rain 
4. After 3 weeks check the two crops and determine 
which one has grown better


answer:
I used all the settings to maximum and tried it numerous times. In fact, I played with it using different independent variables different times. The results are different every time since the quantities of the independent variables are different each time.    
I realized that when we used all the settings, it is usually the Omosans and there are rarely any grass left. Therefore, tooru and yernts would die out soon in Omosa!


answer:
1. To see if rainfall and dry weather has effect on the Yernt. 
2. To see if technology can observe and give detail about soil better than human contact. 
3. To see which type of vegetation can grow the best in different areas.


answer:
Title: Growth 
Aim: To see which type of vegetation grows best in different terrain.  
Equipment: 
- Different types of vegetation 
- Soils from different areas  
Method: 
1. Place each vegetation in different soils 
2. Water daily 
3. After a months or so, observe vegetation's growth and health 
4. Record results and compare 
5. Repeat all steps by various switches of different vegetation in different soils


answer:
- Does the amount of rainfall received impact the quality of soil on omosa 
- We could test to see if the grass is a major factor in the yernts life 
- We could test how much the natives rely on the meat of the yernt and tooru by taking them out of the equation and leaving only crops and vegetarian options.


answer:
1. Record the amount of rainfall for 1 year and look at the most dry months  
2. Record the number of yernt to see if they had enough grass to eat and the grass would only grow if the soil quality was good. 
3. Compare and contrast the soil quality with the amount of rainfall in the month.


answer:
In the Netlogo model the features are two dimensional and icons/symbols however the features in the Omosa world are more detailed and in three dimensional.


answer:
All the features are the same, for instance, the animals (tooru and yernts), grass, drought,controlled bush fire, Omasans and other features.


answer:
The netlogo model is more 2d and shows more information whilst the virtual world omosa is more dimensional and 3d.


answer:
Both are on the facts of grass,yernt population, tooru population, and they both have information on omosa.


answer:
In the Netlogo version it confines all of the factors to the one area where as in the virtual world of Omosa all of the biotic factors are spread out across the planet.


answer:
The Omosans have no effect on the animals in both the virtual and Netlogo world.


answer:
- Setup: Added more Omosans. The addition of more than 30 Omosans causes the huge decrease in the Yernt's and Tooru's population. 
- Setup: Increase in Yernt by 100, increase in droughts, increase in grasses and switch the population of Omosans to 0. The Yernt had a sudden increase then it dramatically decreased and it kept on changing while the population of Tooru slowly increased.


answer:
The both popultions end up dying an the grass increasing. 
When the grass is being eaten , by the yernt and tooru the grass decreases therefore the the food also decreases for the animals and so the population starts to die out and later the grass amount increases.


answer:
hunting practices that are affecting the population of animals


answer:
to investigate whether hunting practices are affecting animals


answer:
If the situation is the animals population has decreased due to hunting practices 
then the consequence is animal are dying 
and the reason is the hinting practices are not safe.


answer:
-when we turned on Osmosans and drought, everything died off within 387 ticks.


answer:
Without the presence of the omosans the ecosystem is more stable and can rely on itself. Once the omosans are added they kill in large numbers and drive all species to extinction.  
 
Fire stick farming killed everything and the drought also needed to be removed.


answer:
The settings that we used where the Yernt and Tooru sliders, and the drought settings. With the drought on, the grass does not regrow fast enough for the Yernt to eat, causing their population to decrease quickly. With less Yernt, the Tooru have less to eat and their population decreases as well. 
From this we can see that the drought is the main factor in the decrease in animal species' population.


answer:
Initial Yernts-119 
Fire-Stick Farming On 
% Burnt Grass-17% 
Drought Off 
Toorus Off 
Omosans Off 
 
The yernt population and the grass per 4 were almost completely opposite. If the grass increased, the yernt population would decrease and vice-versa.


answer:
-speed 
-graphics 
-yernts bunch up in netlogo, spread in virtual world 
-toorus in pairs in virtual world, bunch in netlogo


answer:
To find out if the interaction of drought, fire-sticking and hunting is effecting the population of toorus and yernts.


answer:
Is the interaction of drought, fire-sticking and hunting effecting the populaton of toorus and yernts?


answer:
If the population of yernts and toorus is decreasing then the consequence is the unbalanced ecosystem and the reason is because of the interaction of drought, fire-sticking and hunting.


answer:
percent-burned grass 
drought severity level 
initial numbers of Omosans


answer:
Population of toorus, Omosans and yernts. 
Percentage of grass.


answer:
This is what we want to do and our ideas for this experiment here is how we want to do it 1. Construct a fence between the Geebung 
Trees. 
2.Place the deers in one of the areas  
3.Do not place the deers in the other 
4.After a period of 1-6 months determine if the Geebung trees have changed


answer:
Do deers affect the growth of Geebubg trees in a public environment.


answer:
The Geebung trees without deers in the fence  
will grow in a better way without any damage


answer:
-Tree growth  
-Type of trees 
-Type of soil


answer:
We found out that the number of yernt is effected by the amount of grass, the speed of the regrowth of the grass, the drought and the burned areas on omosa. 
We found that the number of Tooru was effected by the number of yernt and the amount of food for the yernt so they can keep reproducing and creating more yernt for the tooru.


answer:
in the NetLogo model, the Yernt AI is basic and does not factor in many variables such as, water levels, terrain types, etc. 
 
-The Osmosans in the NetLogo model are more ruthless, and live to kill Yernt, while in the game they act more sustainably


answer:
-the fact that Yernt get eaten by Toorus and Osmosans.


answer:
The omosans have more awareness of the ecosystem in the game but in the simulation they are destructive.


answer:
The toruus hunt the yernt. The yernt rely on grass and toruu to kepp the population at a stable number. 
When the Omosans are added they kill everything.


answer:
The animals in Netlogo are 2D while the animals in the virtual world are 3D. The animals in The Omosans world can be interacted while in the Netlogo the animals can be only observed.


answer:
Both animals can be only used in a computer. The Yernt's population is also the main problem and many scientists are researching about their disappearance.


answer:
When we added fire stick farming there were less yeernt in gereral but the numbers stayed in equiblrium. The same happenened with a low level of osmosans. When there were more osmosans all of the animals died. When the drought was added, all animals died.


answer:
I slightly decreased the amount of yernt, tooru, burnt grass and drought severity and added 10 omosans. the tooru population slowly increased and the other are decreasing and increasing at a stable rate


answer:
*The animals are confined to one small space in the Netlogo  
*The grass regen time may not be accurate  
*Other things may not be accurate


answer:
*Netlogo provides a surprisingly accurate model of the world  
*Netlogo takes into account of all the factors


answer:
If you leave the default settings, and change omosans to on, fire-stick farming to off and drought to off then the population thrives.  
Hence, the drought needs to stop but the omosans also have to change their actions.


answer:
plants could be stored in a modified environment such as a greenhouse and could be watered often and in good amounts.


answer:
why do plants grow faster during rainy seasons and grow and produce less in drier seasons?


answer:
I think that plants will grow faster when they are taken care of and given more attention rather than letting them grow by themselves and letting the rain water them.


answer:
we will change the soil, amount of sunlight per day, time in rain, temperature.


answer:
we will measure how fast the plants grow, their height and how much they produce.


answer:
We could plant more trees that the deer would prefer and let the deer eat them instead.


answer:
plant many of the deers food and test if the deer is less interested in the geebung tree


answer:
I think that if we plant the deer's favourite food then the deer will not eat the geebung trees anymore.


answer:
we will change the type of trees in the park.


answer:
how many of the new trees are eaten instead of the geebung tree


answer:
Aim: to find out whether the plants grew better because of the water they were getting. 
 
epuiptment: -plants 
            - water 
             
Hypothesis: I think that they plants will grow better because of the amount of water they get. 
 
steps: 1) Put two small plants in the same area, which provides the same amount of sun. 
       2) Water one plant on the days it rains outside and the other every day. 
       3) Check on the plants improvement daily. 
       4) After two weeks, check which one of the plants have grown more.


answer:
Yernt population for run 1 + Yernt population for run 2 + yernt population for run 3  
 
Yernt population for run 1 =17 yernt population for run 2 =38 + yernt population for run3 = 29


answer:
- Film plants 
- Animal traps/poison 
- Plant more of the same plants somewhere else 
- Monitor deer


answer:
Is the cause of the Geebung trees losing their leaves deer eating them?


answer:
If we monitor the plants using a camera for a certain amount of time, we will see that the deer eat the leaves because we will have video evidence.


answer:
We will not change anything on purpose because we want to make sure that the deer feel like they are in their natural habitat so they do the same thing as they will usually do.


answer:
We will watch the video and find out if they eat the leaves or not.


answer:
1.how fast do are the yernt dying out  
2.How many flying animals we see in one day  
3.how many random fires


answer:
we could stand on the top of the mountain and watch the animals fly :) 
 
I think we will see 2-5 flying animals today. 
  
we will change nothing for this experiment because nothing needs to be changed. 
 
we will measure the amount of flying animals 
 
LET THE FLYING ANIMALS BEGIN


answer:
Fire-stick-farming on 
Percent Burned grass 63 
Drought on 
Drought severity level 23 
Initial number yernts 125 
Initial number tooru 178 
Omosan on 
Initial number omosans 52


answer:
i increased the amount of grass in the land and lowered the amount of drouth and fire and decreased the human population


answer:
the other game is pixlated and not as good graphics (not saying the omosa dose either).


answer:
Create a room and put some plants in there. collect some water and put spraying pipes on the ceiling. Spray the water so it is like it is raining. You could then collect data to see the results


answer:
Some differences are that in omosa it is set up properly in 3D. There is also a lot more grass in omosa then in net logo.


answer:
Some similarities are that there is a lot of animals and that there are is a lot of grass land like in omosa.


answer:
We the grass regrowth speed 100 with no fire stick farming and no grass burned. The initial amount of yernts were 250 and the initial amount of toorus were 100. This made the world last for a very long time.


answer:
The grass regrows faster in the Netlogo model.


answer:
The Yernt consume the grass. The tooru eat the yernt.


answer:
You can change the world in netlogo and you cant change the world in omosa so really you cant actually define any differences or similarities because in one world you cant change it and in the other you can


answer:
Same answer you cant define differences and similarities because one of the worlds is unchangeable and the other is


answer:
Is the drought that's causing the decline of the yeernt?


answer:
I think that the drought is causing the decline of the yeernt, because it is causing the grass the dry out


answer:
We will change if the drought happerns or not


answer:
We will measure how many yeernt there are at the end of the experiment


answer:
We believe that there is an interaction between all of the factors is the cause of the Yernts decline in population. We also believe that the hunting is the smallest factor towards this results. If we use the Netlogo to move the sliders and watch the affect it takes we can work out our resolution.


answer:
Which factor causes greater decline in the population of Yernt?


answer:
If the fire stick farming occurs then the Yernt population will continue to decline, we believe this is because the Yernts food source is cut out of the ecosystem.


answer:
The independent variable is the use of fire stick farming, affects of drought and hunting.


answer:
The dependent variable is the population of the Yernt after we have changed these factors.


answer:
Our experiment is to stop the hunting practices for one month and see if the Yernt population still declines quickly.


answer:
Are the Omosan's hunting practices the main cause for the decline in Yernt population.


answer:
We think that the Omosan's hunting practices are not the main cause of the decline in Yernt population.


answer:
The independent variable is the hunting practices during the month.


answer:
The dependent variable is the Yernt population.


answer:
This experiment will test if the fire stick farming is killing of the Yernt. 
 
The experiment will come out as predicted


answer:
To find if fire stick farming is affecting the amount of Yernts


answer:
Fire stick farming is affecting the the overall population of the Yernt and soon there will be none left


answer:
increasing the amount of yernt would still sustain the number 
drought causes all numbers to decline


answer:
- It is highly unlikely that the hunting practices are causing the decline of the yernt as omosa is currently experiencing a drought 
- The grass is drying out and that is the yernt's main food supply


answer:
Is it likely to be the hunting practices of the Omosans that are causing the decline of the yernt?


answer:
I predict that it will be a combination of all three factors. The fire stick farming, the drought and the hunting


answer:
Its it likely to be the fire stick farming that is causing the decline of the Yernt.


answer:
To see if the fire the stick farming does cause the decline in the Yernt's population.


answer:
I think that the fire stick farming does cause the decline in the Yernt's population.


answer:
The independent variable would be that the number of fire stick farming.


answer:
The dependent variable would be the population of the Yernt.


answer:
Enclose a Yernt in a controlled environment with a similar climate to a drought. 
Enclose another Yernt in a controlled environment 
with natural summer conditions.


answer:
to see whether yernt are dying out because of droughts


answer:
I think they are dying out because of droughts because no animal can survive for prolonged periods of time.


answer:
To measure if fire-stick farming is causing the decline of yernts.


answer:
To find out if fire-stick farming is causing the decline of yernt.


answer:
If the situation is if fire-stick farming is causing the decline of yernt. 
Then the consequence is yernts die out because the lack of grass that has been burnt. 
The reason is because the fire-stick farming is burning the grass causing the amount of food the yernts get.


answer:
The amount of fire-stick farming that has been done.


answer:
The amount of yernts dyeing from fire-stick farming.


answer:
The settings that we used to disturb the  
equilibrium were lowering the number of Yernt,keeping  
the number of Tooru the same, turning on the drought, 
we lowered the percentage of burnt grass and the drought severity level 
Then we increased the number of omosans. 
The result of this was the omosans, yernt and toorus went extinct 
however the grass still stayed at a normal level.


answer:
Increase the drought severity and see how long the animals can sustain themselves.


answer:
To see if the drought is causing the yernt numbers to decline


answer:
I think that the drought is causing the yernt to die out. this is because low water levels are causing the growth of grass to slow down.


answer:
The amount of the yernt at the end of the experiment


answer:
*Run some simulations on NetLogo 
*Combine all the factors


answer:
Is there an interaction between drought, fire-stick farming and hunting that is causing the decline of the Yernt?


answer:
We think that the combination of these factors is causing the Yernt to die out because on the previious NetLogo simulation the Yernt and Tooru could only thrive if the drought and fire stick farming were off.


answer:
test to see if just fire stick farming can affect the population and growth rate of the yernt


answer:
does fire stick farming affect the population of the Yernt growth


answer:
the situation is that there isnt enough grass for the Yernt to eat. the consequence is that the yernt eventually die out. the reason is he fire stick farming


answer:
the independant variable is reason of declination(drought, omosan hunting or fire stick farming)


answer:
the rate of the grass and Yernt growth or reduction


answer:
omosans - 37.5 
yernt - 200 
tooru - 36.25 
grass - 407.5


answer:
Yernt 
122+67+0=189 
189 divide by 3 = 63 
The mean of the Yernt population is 63. 
 
Tooru 
14+28+0=42 
42 divide by 3 = 14 
So the average of the Tooru would be 14 
 
Grass 
199+62+20=281 
281 divide by 3 =93 (whole number) 
The average number of grass would by 93.


answer:
Fire stick farming average Yernt population:193 
Drought average Yernt population: 266 
Hunting average Yernt population: 364


answer:
The differences between the omosa and netlogo world  
are is that the omosa world interprets how animals  
move around betteer and how the world is really like. 
But the netlogo world is more factual and better with  
their results of yernt and toorus.


answer:
The similarities of the omosa and netlogo world is 
that they both interpret how animals and people interact  
within a environment to test it in rel life for  
experiments.


answer:
My ideas for my topic, 'How drought effects the environment,' are: The higher or the more severe the drought, the more its gonna effect the grass and the people that are living there. This will cause the population to decrease and probably lead to extinction. The other idea is that drought kills off the environment and the population more slowly than fire-stick farming.


answer:
My research question is 'How does drought effect the Omosan environment?'


answer:
If the situation is that the Omosans are set to full then the Yernt will die out fairly quickly, the reason for this is that the Omosans will hunt out the Yernt for food


answer:
The independent variable in this experiment is the Omosan and Toorus population


answer:
The dependent variable in this experiment is the Yernt population


answer:
Is it likely to be the drought that is causing the decline of the Yernt?


answer:
if there is drought the yernt will slowly decline.


answer:
the amount of dieing yert with out water.


answer:
I will look at different theories and results that support that it is likely that the drought is causing the decline in yernt numbers on Omosa. I will also look at some that show the decline of yernt is from a different cause and see if they could also have something to do with the drought.


answer:
Is the drought causing the yernt decline on Omosa?


answer:
If the sitution is that most of the theories and results have somethin to do with the drought then the consequense is that the drought is a very likely cause of the yernt numbers declining.


answer:
The theory or set of results we are looking at


answer:
if they are in any way affected by the drought


answer:
We are doing experiment number 4. 
some ideas for the experiment are, 
- All the factor contribute to killing the yernt 
-Hunting is not killing the Yernt because the osmosans use practical hunting methods to preserve the yernt.


answer:
The aim of our experiment is to find out if there is an interaction between these factors. That not just drought and not just farming are killing the yernt, its that all of these factors - drought, fire-stick farming, farming and hunting are all contributing the the decline of yernt.


answer:
We think that all of the factors are contributing the killing the yernt but the least likely reason that the yernt is dieing is the hunting factor because the Osmosans use practical methods, so the number of yernt are stable.


answer:
What we change is the factor that is contributing tio the decline of yernt.


answer:
We we keep the same is the number of yernt we use.


answer:
the weather might be killimng the yernt so we need to find out if it is


answer:
aim is to see weather the drought is killing the yernt.


answer:
i think the situation is to see whether the yernt are dying out because of drought or something else  
  
i think the consequence is that the yernt are dieing out because of the drought.


answer:
what we need to change on purpose is the affect the drought is giving on the yernt


answer:
what we measure is how much is the weather affecting the yernt


answer:
the omosans need meant to survive and the animals need crops to survive, just like a regular food chain.


answer:
my general idea of my experiment is to get the fire-stick reduced yet still have enough for the villages and not too much lose for the animals.


answer:
decreasing the fire-sticks. 
decreasing the fire-sticks for the animals and enough for the villagers each year.


answer:
if the situation gets out of control then most animals will go extinct in omosa. 
then the consequence if that there wont be meat in omosa and would slowly die out due to starvation.


answer:
what i changed on purpose was decreasing the stick-fires by half the amount it as and scale it out with the amount of animals still available.


answer:
we measure the amount the grass re-grows, animals breed and the amount of the stick-fire managed for the villagers.


answer:
Mean of the population of yernts and toorus influenced by fire-stick farming: 
Yernts: 260+403+305+393=1356 divided by 4= 339 
Tooru: 100+88+90+112=390 divided 4= 97.5 
Mean of the population of yernts and toorus influenced by drought: 
Yernts: 552+234+175+0=961 divided by 4= 240.25 
Tooru: 118+77+21+0=216 divided by 4 = 54 
Mean of the population of yernts and toorus influenced by hunting: 
Yernts: 194+402+0+0=596 divided by 4= 149 
Toorus: 78+17+0+0= 95 divided by 4 = 23.75


answer:
For this experiment we are testing if drought is causing the decline of Yernt. We will do this by placing Yernt in a environment where droughts occasionally happen. We will then place the other Yernt in a environment where droughts happen rarely. We will then check the number of Yernt in each place and thus see if drought effects Yernt.


answer:
The droughts will affect the yernt and decline thir population drastically


answer:
The environment that the animals live in


answer:
Amount of wild life in each environment, the type of animal, the types of animals in each wildlife,


answer:
Fire-stick farming = 166 Yernt based on runs #1, #2 and #3  
Drought = ~260 Yernt based on runs #1, #2 and #3  
Omosan Hunting = ~246 Yernt based on runs #1, #2 and #3  
  
In conclusion, the rank of effect each has on the Yernt is as follows:  
#1 = Fire-Stick Farming (Most affecting)  
#2 = Omosan Hunting  
#3 = Drought (least affecting)


answer:
Yernt population mean- 133.3 repeater  
169+71+100=340  
This shows that drought does affect the yernt as yernt has drastically decreased. Therefore my hypothesis is correct and drought does affect the Yernt as shown by the experimental results. All of them have decreased by at least 30 percent and more which shows the affect.
