Question
Chapter 37, Problem 1FFT
Summary Introduction
To determine: The consequences of the climatic cycle on vicariance of ocean island that has both mountains and valleys when sea level is high.
Introduction: The climatic cycle is an occurrence of an event of a change in climate at a time of period. Vicariance is a process of separation of geographic species of a geographic range like mountains and valleys.

One outcome of climate change will be a shift in where particular climate conditions exist (for instance, you will have to move further north if you want to stay in Chicago-like weather). In order to survive, some organisms may have to move. The movement rate of the climate and the movement rate of a species are described by Climate Velocity and Frame Shift Rate.
Using the Sugar Maple tree as an example, describe what climate velocity and frame shift rate are AND how they can combine to force the sugar maple to go extinct. (If you do not properly use the terms Climate Velocity and Frame Shift Rate as part of your answer you are not going to get many points on this question)
Give two examples of how positive feedback loops affect future temperature changes and thus global climate.
Vertical distribution of different species occupying different levels in a biotic community is known as?

Otters maintain the sea urchin population, preventing the sea urchins from overgrazing the kelp beds. If the kelp beds are overgrazed, a multitude of other species will decline as a result.
