Characteristics of Woodlands Topography: Mountains, Hills, and over 50% of land is lowlands or forest lands Climate Avg. Temp.= high is 64 degrees Fahrenheit = low is 47 degrees Fahrenheit Yearly rainfall= 104 cm.

12.80 million People POPULATIONS

Limiting factors of animals Habitats Prey (food) Water Source Carrying Capacity overpopulates food source Limiting factors of plants Rainfall Temperature Soil Nutrients Sunlight Growth space Limiting Factors Other Factors that Affect Limiting Factors Severe Storms Competition Predation
5
Solutions to Limiting Factors Clean up waste Reduce oil pollution Build buildings away from habitats Do not litter Do not dirty water Reduce human activities affecting life Recycle Volunteer to clean up trash Waste management

Eco-Friendly Buildings & Weather Events Plastic Chairs Plastic chairs are eco-friendly because plastic can be reused and recycle which helps the Earth. Mountain Pennsylvania suffers hurricanes. To survive that our people can gather in the cave during a hurricane. Borrow During tornadoes our people and animals can go underground in the borrow. Treehouses Our houses are made to withstand floods because they are higher up where water will not reach the house and the bark gets water.

Power Sources Renewable (Eco-Friendly) Energy Resources Solar energy comes from the sun. Some people use solar panels on their homes to convert sunlight into electricity. Wind turbines, which look like giant windmills, generate electricity. Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's crust. Engineers extract steam or very hot water from the Earth's crust and use the steam to generate electricity. Biomass includes natural products such as wood, manure and corn. These materials are burned and used for heat. Dams and rivers generate hydropower. When water flows through a dam it activates a turbine, which runs an electric generator.

Our Energy Source Our energy source is a circuit. The buildings are powered by a parallel (more then one paths) circuit. So when one light switch is turned off the other lights stays on. (Hence the wires and batteries). However we were not able to light up our buildings. Only one was able to be lit up, which was the apartment complex We were going for something like this…
