Question

1. what is the longitude directly opposite the prime meridian, on the other side of the world? 15. define the following terms: a. closed system b. consumer c. decomposer d. biosphere e. ecosystem f. lithosphere g. geosphere h. open system i. producer use the map below to answer questions 16 - 20.

Explanation:

1. The Prime Meridian is at 0° longitude. The longitude directly opposite it on the other side of the world is 180° longitude.

15a. A closed - system is a system that exchanges energy but not matter with its surroundings.
15b. A consumer is an organism that obtains energy by eating other organisms.
15c. A decomposer is an organism that breaks down dead or decaying matter, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
15d. The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems, where all life on Earth exists.
15e. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with each other and their non - living environment.
15f. The lithosphere is the rigid, outermost shell of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the uppermost mantle.
15g. The geosphere refers to the solid parts of the Earth, including the crust, mantle, and core.
15h. An open - system is a system that exchanges both energy and matter with its surroundings.
15i. A producer is an organism that can make its own food through the process of photosynthesis, usually plants or some bacteria.
