A. If Earth was blocked from sunlight I think it would not be a good thing. The sun helps things grow and we need it to see. Short term effects would be that we’d get used to it after awhile and a long term effect would be we wouldn't be able to grow much plants. The sun helps with your brain producing endorphins. Without these more people will become sad which would be a long term effect.
B.
The producers of this Earth need the sunlight for nutrients. Without the sun the plants cant grow and then they cant give off oxygen for the people. After awhile most plants that need sun will die out. The consumers rely on producers for food unless they are carnivores. A short term effect would be the consumers would probably have to change the way they eat and eat something new. …show more content…

Temperatures are hot in the summer and very cold in the winter
Rainfall and snow can happen anytime of the year
Water is a major source that shaped the land and determined what kind of organisms live there.

Critter: Bald-cypress Tree

Some organisms could use the tree for their habitat or for their breeding grounds.
Water, soil, crocodiles, more trees, snails, moths, fungus, and plants that grow in the water and surrounding the waters.
A crocodile might depend on the bald cypress tree for hiding or resting place. The trees and plants rely on water and soil. Animals will also rely on water. The snails might rely on the plants or trees for their habitat.
Over a period of time I think the interactions between the mosses and funguses and the bald cypress tree will adapt over time. The fungus and moss could grow on the tree which is an interaction.
I think humans might see the bald cypress tree as material they could use for different furniture items. Which is a negative interaction because the trees are there to stop erosion and they take a while to grow.

Values of the Florida Everglades The Florida Everglades is a national park where animals live in harmony because of this thing called biodiversity. Biodiversity is a word commonly used to "describe the relative number of different species in an ecosystem. " The everglades depend on its ecosystems, that’s how everything stays running and alive.

Diamond neglects to mention certain downsides to food production, however. For instance, food production has a connection to the growth of specialization. Specialization encourages dependence for food from other sources. If the sources for food production fail, then those specialized in other skills are not able to create food for themselves (Pacheco). As previously mentioned, agriculture encourages the idea of property.

There may be plentiful food but it will not be as nutritious, but that 's not the most damaging thing. When the thick second-growth forest reaches beyond 15 to 25 years in age, the trees will be spaced much closer together creating a closed canopy, blocking out the sun from the remaining understory vegetation, on which deer depend for

When grown in a swamp like environment, they are beneficial to other plants because they can supply air to the roots underground. They also provide dark, moist and safe breeding grounds for amphibians. The Bald Cypress tree is among the list of the most carbon absorbing trees. This tree traps pollutants which makes it a safer environment for other organisms to thrive.

If humans were suddenly gone from earth, the planet would be dramatically changed. Many animals would die out and others would adapt to stay alive. The buildings would get taken over by plants and animals. Over time, all the man made structures and buildings would fall. Without human life on the planet, everything would be very different.

Burning cities are a great example. They produce massive quantities of smoke, much like atomic bombs would. These enormous amounts of smoke can make breathing and seeing difficult, plus kill millions. In fact, seasonal cycles can show the effects that we have during the time of shorter days and less sunlight. Think about you’re winter trees are lifeless, freezing, no crops, basically dead.

The effect would be that the autotrophs wouldn’t be able to get enough of the sun’s rays which they use to create the food they need to survive. This would spread to the other animals because the herbivores would need the plants to fuel their bodies, and without the plants, they would die. Once the herbivores die out, the carnivores would die out because they don’t have a source of food to eat. This would cause an extinction of all animals because the bottom of the food chain was taken away destroying the rest of the food chain. Some short term effects for earthworms would be that they Some short term effects for producers would be that they would start dying out because they wouldn’t have any sunlight to produce the food which they need to survive.

The importance of the sun has been recognized throughout the course of human history. With many if not all cultures and civilizations at one point or another believing it to be some form of a deity (Cain, 2015). In only the past few centuries or decades have the processes that power and created the sun been unmasked and been studied. Ongoing research into the sun by various scientists and disciplines has allowed for us to better understand how the sun produces energy and how this energy enters our atmosphere.

A rainforest is called so because of the high amount of rainfall it receives during a year. As per the climate of the rainforest it is very hot and humid for which the formation of the rain through evaporation takes place intensely causing rainfall frequently. In it, the growth of the vegetation is densely populated with a number of tall trees and plants. Rainforest covers only six percent of the earth surface, but is found to contain more than half of the world’s plants and animal species. As it is extremely hot and humid, animals and plants got to adopt to such kind of climate.

Scientists have studies Earth's climate changes for decades, by analyzing many indirect measures of climate such as ice cores, tree rings, glacier lengths, pollen remains, and ocean sediments, as well as by studying the change in Earth's orbit around the sun. This study shows the climate system changes over time over a full range time scales. However, before the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s can be explained climate change by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and natural changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. Recent climate changes cannot be explained by natural causes alone. The study indicates that natural causes are not only influenced our climate change in the 21st century.
