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.
What else can I help you with?
Energy that is absorbed by land and water is changed into?
Heat energy. This absorbed energy warms the land and water, leading to an increase in temperature.
How does the absorption of energy from the sun differ from land and water?
Land absorbs heat energy from the sun quickly, but it also releases the heat (cools down) more quickly than water. Water reflects more of the energy than land does, so it takes longer to warm. Water also holds the heat longer than land. This is why the sea is warmer for swimming at the very end of summer, even when the land is cooling.
What transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact?
The transfer of energy from land or water to air by direct contact is known as convection. As the surface of the land or water gets heated by the sun, it transfers this heat energy to the air molecules in contact with it. These warm air molecules rise, creating air currents and leading to the transfer of heat from the surface to the air.
What term Describes the amount of energy available to heat the earth's land water and air?
The term that describes the amount of energy available to heat the Earth's land, water, and air is "solar radiation." Solar radiation, or sunlight, is the primary source of energy that heats the Earth's surface and drives weather and climate systems.
Which region of Canada is known for its fertile agricultural land and energy resources?
The region of Canada known for its fertile agricultural land and energy resources is the Prairie Provinces, which include Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Alberta is particularly known for its oil sands reserves, while Saskatchewan and Manitoba are known for their productive farmland.
Energy that is absorbed by land and water is changed into?
Heat energy. This absorbed energy warms the land and water, leading to an increase in temperature.
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.
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
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 is energy that is absorbed by the land changed into?
Energy absorbed by the land is primarily changed into heat, which warms the land. This heat can then be transferred to the air above, influencing local climate patterns and contributing to weather systems.
How does energy effect land?
Energy controls a big part of the earth's functions. It can effect the weather, the land, and even effect the life thriving on the planet. We are constantly finding new ways to create energy to tend to the land, keep power running, and sustain life.
Where do you use solar energy today?
solar land.
Why does a hurricane begin to lose energy when it reaches land?
Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. When a hurricane moves over land it is cut off from its power source.
How do plants generate the energy they need for their metabolic 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 causes hurricane to lose energy when it moves to land?
it sops eating energy drinks and chocolate bars
