This is a brief quiz about the lecture on hurricanes. This is the last lecture for quizzes.
There are, however, four more lecture presentations that relate to biogeography. The lecture
presentations cover four major ecoregions of Earth. Instead of multiple-choice quizzes, there is an essay
format examination where you take notes on an ecoregion of your choice and then write a long-essay
that covers all of the topics in a lecture.
Most students decide not to watch these lectures and take the optional essay examination. However,
many do watch them for information and also to improve their grade by adding points. Please look at the
syllabus for more information on Earth's ecoregions.
