Intense settlement and agricultural development have resulted in a loss of more than half the sagebrush ecosystems in the western United States and Canada. Today, these ecosystems continue to be threatened by a variety of land use practices such as urbanization, road building and road and trail use, grazing and agriculture, and especially, energy development. As a result of these expanding pressures and the habitat fragmentation and other disturbances they create, wildlife species dependent upon sagebrush habitat have experienced considerable declines in numbers and distribution.

Energy that is absorbed by land and water is changed into?
some of the energy,however, is absorbed by the land and water and change into heat
When light energy is absorbed by an object the energy is converted to?
atmosphere, land and water Also Thermal Energy!
What transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact?
The transfer of energy from land and water to air by direct contact is called conduction.
Which region of Canada is known for its fertile agricultural land and energy resources?
The Prairie provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta) are known for their fertile agricultural land and valuable energy resources.
What term Describes the amount of energy available to heat the earth's land water and air?
Energy budget
Energy that is absorbed by land and water is changed into?
some of the energy,however, is absorbed by the land and water and change into heat
How do hurricanes lose energy?
They lose there energy when the Hurricanes reach land because the sea is there food and energy. when the hurricanes reach land it destroys thinks in its path and dies.
What best states how oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently?
There are many reasons why oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently. Land is usually darker than water so it absorbs more energy. The ocean is more reflective, and therefore uses less energy to absorb the energy.
Why does the global ocean absorb much of the solar energy that reaches the earth?
Because it has a greater surface than land, and therefore absorbs more solar energy. Also because the ocean is generally colder than land (ocean has less thermal energy than land) , and higher energy goes to lower energy.
How do water and land surfaces differ in their abilities to absorb and radiated heat energy?
Land absorbs more heat energy than water does.
Do hurricanes gain energy as they near land?
No, it is more common for them to lose energy.
Is land an example of renewable energy source?
A land is indirectly a source of energy. It is a renewable source of elements that gives, among other benefits, energy to the living creatures, the lively beings.
What do land plants do with excess energy?
Land plants generate the energy they need for their metabolic energy by converting their light energy to metabolic enrgy or so called chemical energy.
What is energy sprawl?
energy sprawl is the amount of land needed to produce clean energy
When light energy is absorbed by an object the energy is converted to?
atmosphere, land and water Also Thermal Energy!
Does hurricane lose their energy when they start to cross land?
Yes. Hurricanes loose energy fairly quickly as they move over land. Especially if it is mountainous.
What transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact?
The transfer of energy from land and water to air by direct contact is called conduction.
