Human actions and behaviour towards the polar biome have a had major impact on the geographical processes operating within this environment. The polar biome can be situated in either the North or South Pole. Some of the human impacts currently in Antarctica are tourism‚ Climate Change and Invasive species due to this there is been dramatic changes to food webs and the environment itself. In Antarctica temperatures are extremely low with an average annual temperature ranging from -10°C to -80°C in

Its temperature does not go higher than 93 degrees (34 degrees Celsius) or drop below 68 degrees (20 degrees Celsius). The rain forests average humidity is 77%-88%. Almost all rain forests are near the equator. Half of all plant and animal species are in the rain forest. Tropical rain forests produce

Scene #1 is from Ep. I: The Phantom Menace. Name this real-world biome. Temperate Deciduous Forest Please explain briefly this biome’s major identifying characteristics. In the Woodlands of Naboo‚ there are many kinds of trees‚ plants and shrubs‚ Trees within the forests grow between 24m and a 35m tall and are usually broad-leaved trees. Different plants include ferns‚ vines‚ mosses‚ palms and orchids. There are also many different kinds of species‚ around 2 - 5 million different species. Dense growing

Some of the Preys go on to the land to rest or reproduce‚ but food that they eat is in the water. The Artic is the area around the North Pole while the Antarctic is the area around the South Pole. Plant plankton are eaten by the Krills; the Krills are eaten by the fish‚ fish are eaten by the seals and the seals

Humans have a negative effect on the tundra biome. Some of the effects are overhunting‚ global warming‚ oil drilling‚ and pollution. When endangered species encounter these issues they die and eventually become extinct. An example of overhunting is how sailors overhunt musk oxen and caribou for their fur and body meat. The fur gets used for clothing and the sailors eat the body meat. The musk ox is nearly extinct due to overhunting. When you over hunt a whole species‚ that species may go completely

How is man changing environment or biomes? Man is drastically changing the environment with all the needs he has. Humans cut down entire forests in the course of a month. Then we build buildings in its place making it impossible for anything to grow there. Those trees were a crucial part to the ecosystem and environment‚ which are now changed forever. We also drive cars‚ which emit exhaust‚ which in turn hurts our ozone layer and heats up the Earth. Once the ozone layer is damaged the ice caps

over the tropical rainforest biome. The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50-260 inches (125-660) cm of rain falls yearly. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100-300 species in one 2 ½ acre area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. There are a couple of topics that can be discussed within this biome such as the location‚ climate

Some of the major effects of deforestation include biodiversity loss‚ local climate change and global warming. Farmers often have trouble raising crops‚ which typically results in more problems‚ such as an increase in food prices. Soil erosion and cultural displacement also can occur. Those who want to address the problem have a variety of options‚ however. Biodiversity Loss A loss of biodiversity often follows a reduction in the amount of forested land. Trees‚ shrubs and other plants provide shelter

The fact that the savannah is the largest biome and it constitute 20 percent of the planet’s surface‚ is really a fascinating fact to be believed by every soul living on Earth. The world constitute of different climatic and physical conditions around the world‚ this leads to the variations in the biomes found in this planet‚ some people believe that human impact is also part of the drivers of this biome‚ and some do not. It is actually a debatable issue of what to believe are the drivers of the savannahs

Outline the relationship between climate and one or more biomes. (10 marks). One biome which is part of the cold zone of the Earth where the latitude of the sun is from 60-90° is Tundra. Tundra is a treeless‚ level‚ or gently undulating plain characteristic of the Artic and sub-Artic regions characterised by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The polar areas between 60 and 90° latitude receive less heat from solar radiation as the angle of the sun is at a much lower angle towards the ground
