Ecosystem model quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Ecosystem model card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
These model systems are then studied in order to make predictions about the ______ of the real system.
Answer
dynamics. These model systems are then studied in order to make predictions about the dynamics of the real system. From the Ecosystem model article on Wikipedia.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Whitmore Lake, Michigan. Whitmore Lake, Michigan 7,900 · Kronotsky Nature Reserve 6,300 · Ecosystem model 4,800 · Zenarchopteridae 3,100 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Using data gathered from the field, ecological relationships, such as the relation of sunlight and water availability to photosynthetic rate, or that between predator and prey populations, are derived, and these are combined to form ecosystem models.
- These model systems are then studied in order to make predictions about the dynamics of the real system.
- Often, the study of inaccuracies in the model will lead to the generation of hypotheses about possible ecological relations that are not yet known or well understood.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ecosystem model article was read about 4,800 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Ecosystem model
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
