TERRESTRIAL BIOME Introduction Many places on Earth share similar climatic conditions despite being found in geographically different areas. As a result of natural selection‚ comparable ecosystems have developed in these separated areas. Scientists call these major ecosystem types biomes. The geographical distribution (and productivity) of the various biomes is controlled primarily by the climatic variables precipitation and temperature. The maps in Figures 1 and 2 describe the geographical locations

In normally snowless areas "spring" may begin as early as February (Northern Hemisphere) heralded by the blooming of deciduous magnolias‚ cherries‚ and quince‚ or August (Southern Hemisphere) in the same way. Subtropical and tropical areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons‚ e.g. dry or wet‚ or monsoonal‚ or cyclonic. Often the cultures have locally

The term vegetation means total plant cover‚ roadside vegetation includes the plants that grow near the roadside. Vegetation can be an effective sink for airborne particulates which adheres to surface of leaves (Fowler et al.‚ 1989). In urban areas‚ urban forest ecosystem plays a significant role in the adsorption of airborne particulates‚ thus‚ purifying air and also creating a positive visual and health impact (Wei-Kang et al.‚ 2015). In Urban areas‚ roadside vegetation is fruitful in overcoming

The size and shape of teeth determine their functions because primary teeth are different shape and size of adult teeth‚ so they do different things‚ and aren’t able to do as much work as adult teeth. 2. Incisors: Incisors are designed to cut food without using heavy force. The tongue side is shaped like a shovel to guide food into the mouth. Canines: Canines are designed for cutting and tearing foods‚ which needs

hardness. Teeth are among the most distinctive (and long-lasting) features of mammal species. Humans‚ like other mammals‚ are diphyodont‚ meaning that they develop two sets of teeth. The first set (also called the "baby"‚ "milk"‚ "primary"‚ and "deciduous" set) normally starts to appear at about six months of age‚ although some babies are born with one or more visible teeth‚ known as neonatal teeth. Normal tooth eruption at about six months is known as teething and can be painful. [pic]

The Wood Stork Wood storks‚ one of the largest birds in the world‚ have a special appearance that people can easily identify. There are several species that are in the same family of wood stork worldwide. They are usually found in the wetlands‚ where they find their food. They use their powerful bills to catch prey in muddy waters with high concentrations of fish (Mel Baughman‚ 2003‚ p. 82). These endangered species are well adapted to their environment and are one of the top predators in their habitat
