Organisms can onlysurvive inenvironments inwhich their needs aremet. Withinecosystems,organisms interactwith and aredependent on theirphysical and livingenvironment.

Some changes inecosystems occurslowly, while othersoccur rapidly.Changes can affectlife forms, includinghumans.

Predict the biotic and abioticcharacteristics of an unfamiliarorganism's habitat.

Explain the consequences of rapidecosystem change (e.g., flooding, windstorms, snowfall, volcanic eruptions),and compare them to consequences ofgradual ecosystem change (e.g.,gradual increase or decrease in dailytemperatures, change in yearlyrainfall).
