Humans live in this biome. In order to adapt, humans have affected the Chaparral. Chaparral biomes all over the world have been heavily affected by human activities, such as grazing, logging, building of dams, agriculture, and urbanization. This has caused plant and animal species to decline, some even nearly getting wiped out.
The key points of this model are summarized below. 1  The particles that form a liquid are relatively close together, but not as close together as the particles in the corresponding solid. 2  The particles in a liquid have more kinetic energy than the particles in the corresponding solid.
Solid is one of the four fundamental states of matter. In solids molecules are closely packed. It is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire volume available to it like a gas does. The atoms in a solid are tightly bound to each other, either in a regular geometric lattice or irregularly. Solids cannot be compressed with little press
