Species turnover on islands is generally low - The number of species on an island might remain the same, but the composition of the species should change continuously as new species colonize the island and others become extinct.

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles

Solar radiation, in the form of short-wave energy, passes through the atmosphere to heat the Earth’s surface. 

Long-wave infrared energy is radiated back into the atmosphere. 

Most infrared energy is reflected by atmospheric gases, including carbon dioxide molecules, back to Earth, causing global temperatures to rise.
