Bio-Magnification

Physical rather than biological; not derived from living organisms

An animal that feeds on plants.

A group of people living together in one place

An organism, esp. a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material

Each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem

All the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.

Similar to bioaccumulation with the distinction being that bioaccumulation occurs within a food chain (trophic level) and bio-magnification is the same process across different trophic levels

A star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness because of a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass.

A system of millions or billions of stars, together with gas and dust, held together by gravitational attraction.

The natural satellite of the earth, visible (chiefly at night) by reflected light from the sun.

The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass

A continuous area or expanse that is free, available, or unoccupied

An artificial body placed in orbit around the earth or another planet in order to collect information or for communication

The galaxy in which our sun is located

Nonluminous material that is postulated to exist in space and that could take any of several forms including weakly interacting particles (cold dark matter) or high-energy randomly moving particles created soon after the Big Bang (hot dark matter)
