Earthquake Precautions and Safety Measures - Course Assessment

This free online earthquake awareness course explains what to do during an earthquake and discusses their causes.

Earthquake Precautions and Safety Measures

Earthquakes can occur at any time of day or night at various depths and locations. They can be gentle, which causes minor damage, or violent, which can be catastrophic. This earthquake awareness course explains how and why earthquakes occur. We then provide detailed safety strategies to show you know what to do before, during and after one of these natural disasters.

Introduction to the Course

A Historical Overview of Ecology

Ecology and Evolution

The Levels of Organisation

Species Abundance and Composition: Biodiversity

Biodiversity - II

In this module, you will be introduced to evolution and ecology. You will look at what are the interactions that are driving the abundance and distribution of individual animals? You will study the essential concepts of an ecosystem, biogeography evolution, modern population and community ecology. It will then discuss the role of fitness in evolution. Along with this, you will look at the emergent principle, the levels of organization in the biological world, and measures of biodiversity.

Positive Interaction

Study of Behavior and Behavioral Ecology

Food Chains, Food Webs & Trophic Levels

Primary Production

Nutrient Cycle

In this module, you will be introduced to ecological interactions. You will learn the difference between intraspecific and interspecific synergies. Along with this, you will explore the differences between exploitative competition and interference competition. You will look at different kinds of behavioural ecologies, such as foraging behaviour and anti-predator behaviour. This module will also cover primary production, the efficiency of production, and biogeochemical cycle.

Population Parameters and Demographic Techniques

Threats to Species

In-situ Conversation

Ex-situ Conversation

Distribution, Abundance and Threatened Species - Learning Summary

In this module, you will be introduced with distribution, abundance and measurement of threatened species. This includes analysis of geographic distributions, dispersal and anthropogenic factors, and some push and pulls elements. You will look at population dynamics and extinction. It will then follow into characteristics of population dynamics, such as stochastic factors and deterministic factors. You will also study the ecological processes, that is in-situ and ex-situ conservation.

Introduction and Impacts

Human Population Growth and  Food Requirements
