The word atom is derived from the Greek word atom which means indivisible. The Greeks concluded that matter could be broken down into particles too small to be seen. These particles were called atoms. Atoms are composed of three types of particles: protons‚ neutrons‚ and electron. Protons and neutrons are responsible for most of the atomic mass. Example; if a person weighed 150 lbs. approximately 149 lbs. and 15 ounces of that person would be comprised of protons and neutrons while only 1 ounce of

Temperate Forest- There are wide leaves and non-seasonal vegetation and mixed forests. Marine Island- Islands are cold at night and usually has good surf. Marine ecosystems has no oxygen and full of life. Desert- Barely any plants in the facinty‚ hard to find water and cold at night hot in the day. Tropical Rain Forest- Very green full of life and vegetation

be affected by climate and location‚ the climate of a region because the temperatures and yearly rainfall can effect which organisms are living in that specific biome year round‚ or what just lives there temporarily. Location can affect biomes because if it was closer to the equator‚ then it would have a warmer climate year round‚ if it lived farther away from the equator‚ then it would have a colder climate year round. We have three different types of biomes‚ temperate‚ tropical‚ and polar. Between

are often found in locations with poor soil quality. In biomes like the temperate deciduous forest biomes the trees have no need for buttresses because the soil is rich with nutrients. Rich soils allows for trees and plants to grow deep roots that anchor and provide them with stability. In addition deep root systems take up nutrients that are found throughout soil. Buttresses do not penetrate into the deep layers of the soil this could affect stability in places like the desert. Also shallow roots

maps in Figures 1 and 2 describe the geographical locations of the thirteen major terrestrial biomes of the world. Because of their scale‚ these maps ignore the many community variations that are present within each biome category. Most of the classified biomes are identified by the dominant plants found in their communities. For example‚ the various types of grasslands are dominated by a variety of annual and perennial species of grass‚ while deserts are occupied by plant species that require very
