Ecosystems Components SCI/256 A region that receives fewer than 10 inches of rain annually is considered a desert. This lack of precipitation loosely illustrates what encompasses the desert ecosystem. Although there are many cold deserts around the globe‚ for the purpose of analysis‚ the focus of this paper will be hot desert ecosystems. The extreme heat of the day in some deserts can reach above 120 degrees and drop down below 32 degrees (National Geographic‚ 1996-2013). These temperature extremes

Intro The tundra is a cold freezing place that doesn’t frequently have much rainfall. The average temperature is 10-20 degrees fahrenheit. The tundra also have a wide variety of plant life and few trees that have a creative way to adapt to their environment. The tundra has many amazing animals that has its own effect. In the tundra some animals are become engendered because the

rainy season. Relative humidity is quite high at an average of 88% in the rainy season and 77% in the dry season. Every year‚ the Amazon rainforest receives torrential rainfall - between 1‚500 mm and 3‚000 mm. Where does all that water come from? Eastern trade winds that blow from the Atlantic Ocean account for about half of the rainfall‚ with the other half due to evapotranspiration - the loss of water from the soil by evaporation and through transpiration from plants - in the Amazon River Basin.
