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.
Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass or weight. Matter exists in three forms or states-solid, liquid and gas. All matter is made up of molecules, the smallest part of a substance that can still be that substance. Molecules in gases are far apart and they move around more. Gases have no definite size or shape. Liquids' molecules are closer together than those of gases but less so than those of solids. Liquids have a definite size or volume but liquids take the shape of the container they are in.
