a similar house that I live in. Biome A biome is a geographical area that is very large in size. Each biome as a certain group of animals and plants that come with it. Examples of biomes are the tundra‚ desert‚ grassland‚ and wetlands just to name a few. The biome that I live in is the chaparral biome. It is very much like a desert except it receives more rainfall a year. Most of the plants in my biome are low lying plants that can retain water in their leaves.

The Island of Madagascar consists of three different biomes‚ being tropical dry forest‚ tropical rain forest‚ and desert. In a tropical rain forest biome temperatures remain warm thought the year and precipitation occurs on an almost daily basis. This type of biome contains three levels of vegetation and only about two or three

These forests have been led to recognition of the eight major forests that is within the biome that is dominated by different species or associated with the species. These species are called mixed mesophytic‚ Appalachian Oak‚ Hemlock-white pine-northern hardwoods‚ oak hickory‚ maple-basswood‚ beech-maple‚ oak-pine‚ white oak‚ and southern pine. Mixed mesophytic forest region is one of the oldest regions of the biome and it’s the most complex and most highly developed. They are located west of the Appalachian

How and why do the world’s biomes differ in their biomass production? The definition of biomass is the total quantity or weight of organisms in a given area or volume. Biomass can differ because of many things‚ including temperature‚ rainfall‚ location‚ and altitude. Tundra and Tropical Rainforest are two contrasting biomes‚ different in many ways. First of all‚ location. Tundra is located in the coldest parts of the world‚ like the most northern parts of America (i.e. Alaska)

Identify a biome in which the plants are short and require little water and the animals are small. Then‚ write a one page description of this biome. A biome is a large ecosystem where plants‚ animals‚ insects‚ and people live in a certain type of climate. Therefore‚ desert where the plants are short and the animals are small because of a lack of water. There is one-fifth of the earth land’s surface is desert. Deserts can be found on every continent except Europe. The desert biome can be separated

I’m an penguin and I live in the polar ice biome. We are birds with black and white feathers. Unlike most birds we don’t fly. We spend about 75% of our time underwater‚ searching for food in the ocean. We are one of about 40 species of flightless birds. We are known for their white bellies and dark-colored backs and wings. Our body is designed for swimming‚ and includes tapering at both ends of the body for hydrodynamics‚ paddle-like wings
