Discuss the characteristics of a biome you have studied. Biomes are large world regions in which climate‚ soils‚ natural vegetation and animal life are all interrelated. The biome that i have studied is the desert biome. Dry Climate Desert climate is very dry‚ with a yearly rainfall of between 0 and 250mm. Although deserts are very dry regions‚ very few deserts are completely dry. Parts of the Atacama Desert in Chile are said to be the driest places on earth. They receive an average of less than

the Mpenjati estuary-beach system is to distinguish between organisms and estimate diversity within the estuary found at different locations along the estuary-beach profile in accordance with factors affecting the daily routines of these marine life and other aspects in which these organisms concur with. The organisms found in these waters play an important role in the ecosystems they function in therefore it is imperative to seek a way to keep a close relationship between the estuary-beach systems

Impact? People in general have little knowledge of estuaries yet treat as if the estuary compares to a dump yard. However‚ (before going deeper into the topic) what is an estuary? Specifically‚ an estuary is‚ as Tom Garrison a science professor defines an estuary‚ a "body of water partially surrounded by land where freshwater from a river(s) mixes with ocean water." (Oceanography: An Invitation pg. 464. An estuary is unique due to the fact that an estuary serves as a nursery for young many marine organisms

Madagascar’s biomes? Discuss the major features of at least one of these biomes. Use the textbook for biome examples. Madagascar is a tropical rainforest‚ rain forest savanna and grasslands. The rain forest receives 120 inches of rain at least a year. It has very wet and dense vegetation within the trees. Anywhere from 70 plus percent of animal life lives in the trees. It is filled with lakes‚ river‚ swamps and a wide variety of different terrain. There is an overabundance of green plant life that strives

Plants‚ also called green plants (Viridiplantae in Latin)‚ are living organisms of the kingdom Plantae including such multicellular groups as flowering plants‚ conifers‚ ferns and mosses‚ as well as‚ depending on definition‚ the green algae‚ but not red or brown seaweeds like kelp‚ nor fungi or bacteria. Green plants have cell walls with cellulose and characteristically obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis using chlorophyll contained in chloroplasts‚ which gives them their

Plants and animals have a lot of things in common so much in fact i couldn’t fit half of them into this essay‚ there similarities and differences span from the smallest things like cells to huge thing like the whole organism. One thing that plants and animals both have in common is the fact that they adapt‚ the main thing isn’t that they adapt though it’s why they do it. Animals‚ plants‚ and humans all share the same thing they have a will to live in different ways maybe or some might want to live

Rain forest Biome The average rain fall a rain forest receives is 50 to 260 inches yearly (125-660 centimeters). Rain forest belongs in a wet climate. 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 40% of earth’s oxygen. ¼ of all plants in the rain

A Biome is all of the life zones‚ all plants‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ as well as the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its plant life‚ which is determined by its location. For example‚ northern coniferous forests exist in sub-arctic portions of North America and Asia‚ but further north‚ the conditions are simply too harsh and the season too brief for trees to grow. Instead of trees‚ the short vegetation of the tundra thrives in these areas. The same occurs
