Fig. 5.6 in Molle 2008 TEMPERATURE VARIABILITY: AIR VERSUS SOIL (Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge)
12
TEMPERATURE VARIABILITY: AIR vs. WATER
13
Fig. 5.2 in Molles 2008 TEMPERATURE VARIABILITY: AIR vs. WATER
14
Specific Heat of Water: It takes 1 cal of energy to heat 1 cm 3 of water 1 o C Specific Heat of Air: It takes.0003 cal of energy to heat 1 cm 3 of air 1 o C A) Specific Heat THERMAL STABILITY OF WATER
15
B) Phase Changes: Latent Heat of Evaporization Quitobaquito, Organ Pipe National Monument, AZ Evaporating Water Absorbs a Tremendous Amount of Heat Energy THERMAL STABILITY OF WATER (Cooling Effect on Surroundings)
16
C) Phase Changes: Latent Heat of Fusion Freezing Water Releases a Tremendous Amount of Energy THERMAL STABILITY OF WATER (Warming Effect on Surroundings)
17
Lake Effect Snow
18
Lake Effect Cold, dry air passing over “warm” water picks up water vapor and heat,forming clouds Clouds encounter colder land mass, rain or snow results
19
COPING WITH EXTREME TEMPERATURE ADAPTATION: an anatomical, physiological or behavioral characteristic that improves a population’s ability to survive and reproduce under prevailing environmental conditions.
20
ADAPTATION: Result from Evolutionary Processes (Populations) Reproductive Output Exceeds Capacity of Environment
21
ADAPTATION: Result from EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES (Populations) Variation
22
ADAPTATION: Result from EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES (Populations) Intraspecific Competition
23
THERMOPHILIC BACTERIA PSYCHROPHILIC BACTERIA
