In ecology, carrying capacity is the measure of an environment, or habitat, to indefinitely sustain the population of a particular species in a steady-state population density.
Humans have demonstrated an ability to increase the short term carrying capacity of their environment through use of Earth's available resources, most notably the wide scale use of ancient deposits of hydrocarbons, also known as fossil fuels.
When a population exceeds the long term carrying capacity of its environment, also known as overshoot, then famine and disease tend to reduce the size of that population.
The heat capacity of a certain amount of matter is the quantity of heat (measured in joules) required to raise its temperature by one kelvin.
The SI unit for heat capacity is J/K (joule per kelvin).
It is apparent from the table that the experimental heat capacities of the monatomic noble gases agrees with this simple application of statistical mechanics to a very high degree.
