Did you know that beavers build lodges and the lodges have a lot of living space in the lodges. Well if you didn’t I would advise you to read this story you can learn a lot from it. For example animals and where they live and their adaptations.
There are a lot of animal shelters throughout the world. According source #2 beavers build lodges. For example, beavers build lodges along banks, rivers and lakes. The beavers begin with making a cone shaped frame for the whole part of the lodge. Then they fill the extra spaces with mud and leaves. Then there dun with the lodge but they will go through and fix some things up inside the lodge. But something else about the lodge is that the entrance is always at the bottom so when entering the predators don’t see them. Another amazing shelter is the termite mounds. The reason the termite mounds are so amazing is because they are 20 feet high in the sky that's taller than me. The mounds

Just one look outside and you will see all kinds of ecosystems. For example the oak tree is a ecosystem to all kinds of amazing creatures in the world. It is home to birds and bugs that live in it’s bark and its branches, and to the squirrels who make their nests in the trunks. It also provides food for other animals to. When an acorn falls off the branch deer and mice eat them too fatten up for the winter. The squirrel keeps them in it’s mouth. Another ecosystem is the ocean. One big part of that ecosystem is the coral reef. It is home to many plants and animals. For example sea plants move back and forth in the current, and fish and other sea animals come to hide in it just incase an animal harms or hurts it. Cool fact is that one quarter of all the fish in the sea live in that ecosystem. The coral reef also attracts other animals like birds, whales, turtles and seals. There are many different kinds of ecosystems small or big they are still a really big part of

Settings: The primary setting in The Sign of the Beaver, which the whole book takes, place in is Maine during the fall and winter of 1786. Some of the temperate settings are still in Maine but are somewhere smaller like when Matt was at Attean’s tribe or home. Another one is when Matt is in the woods looking at the beaver. Other settings include Matt’s home, crops, and finally Matt and his dad building the cabin.
in the Canadian Shield there are many types of living organisms living in it, such as moose, black bears, grizzly bears, wolves, foxes, beavers, minks, martens, wolverines, lynxes, wood buffalo, woodland caribou, shrews, weasels and hares, these animals live here because they can find enough food, water and shelter in the Canadian Shield
I am going to give you information on the animals that were once native to Iowa. The Alces Moose was native to Iowa back in the 1970’s is they were knew of returning. There was only about 15 Alces Moose that came back down into Iowa in a time-span of 30 years. They came down from Minnesota We are the reason they are not here

Years before electricity or any modern technology entered the Arctic region; The Inuit lived in circle domes called "igloos". There were no wood available out where they lived, so they had to get creative and use the snow that surrounded them. In which they had molded into gigantic blocks as a substitute instead. During the summertime they traded out their igloos for tents as shelter. At times they would add animal skins on their tents if it wasn't warm e...

The importance of coral reefs to the ecosystem can not be overstated. Coral reefs are a
Most Eastern Woodland Indians live in wigwams and long houses. Wigwams are hut-shaped structures covered with bark or straw on top. Wigwams were made to fit only one to two families. Longhouses are made the same way as wigwams except they
National Parks are the cornerstone of every country because it preserves the rich cultural and natural resources of a nation, such as Yellowstone in the United States of America. Yellowstone National Park is the World’s First National Park which brings millions of attraction each year, it is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combine and have over a thousand species of plants and animal (Yellowstone Media). However, a very important type of species has been missing in Yellowstone National Park for a very long time. Wolves, which got reintroduce back into Yellowstone National Park, should stay there because without them the ecosystem would be out of balance.
Ecosystems can be as small as a tide pool or a rotting log or as large as a body of water, forest or desert. Each system can consist of a community of plants and animals and this community is sustained by raw materials, chemical elements and water. Each community is surrounded by soil, water, climate and other conditions of the environment. An example of an ecosystem is a pond it supports a community of fish, frogs, insects and plants. Basic food is small organisms and plankton for the fish to consume. If the ecosystem does not maintain a balance it can weaken and the species will suffer. The systems are affected by fire, disease and severe climate changes not including predators and man such as building, pollution and mining.
An ecosystem is an identifiable system of interdependent relationships between living organisms and their biophysical environment. Ecosystems exist in a state of dynamic equilibrium. Meaning the ecosystem is constantly evolving while still remaining in a stable state. Coral reef ecosystems are long, narrow masses of coral and other substances the top of which is adjacent to the surface of the sea. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR) spans from 8°N and 24°S, stretching from the Fly River in Papua New Guinea to the southern Queensland (QLD) coast. The reef the largest living thing on earth, covers an area of 348000 km2 is composed of over 25000 individual reefs and 900 islands. However, the dynamic equilibrium of this complex ecosystem is being affected by both by both natural and human induced stresses which impacts nature, rate of change and functioning of the GBR. Accordingly, humans have introduced a number of strategies to stabilise the dynamic equilibrium of the GBR
People have been relying for their daily needs and well-being on nature. The natural ecosystem provides varieties of goods and services to us, for instance, fresh water, fisheries, timber, water purification etc. The benefits that people directly get from the natural systems are called ecosystem services (ES).
Scientists have begun to say that we have to do more to protect our ecosystem, because our very existence is depending upon it. When the ecosystem is not functioning properly the continuation of plant, animal and human life ecosystems would be impossible. Life cycles can not function without ecosystems. The ecosystem provides us with clean air, water, habitats for fish and other services. They also aid in the mod...
The branch of science that deals with how living things, including humans, are related to their surroundings is called ecology . The Earth supports some 5 million species of plants, animals, and microorganisms. These interact and influence their surroundings, forming a vast network of interrelated environmental systems called ecosystems. The arctic tundra is an ecosystem and so is a Brazilian rain forest. The islands of Hawaii are a relatively isolated ecosystem. If left undisturbed, natural environmental systems tend to achieve balance or stability among the various species of plants and animals. Complex ecosystems are able to compensate for changes caused by weather or intrusions from migrating animals and are therefore usually said to be more stable than simple ecosystems. A field of corn has only one dominant species, the corn plant, and is a very simple ecosystem. It is easily destroyed by drought, insects, disease, or overuse. A forest may remain relatively unchanged by weather that would destroy a nearby field of corn, because the forest is characterized by greater diversity of plants and animals. Its complexity gives it stability.
