The common raven has its fair share of various habitats to roam and with those locations comes their staple of diet. This species of bird along with its subspecies are one of the most adaptable types of birds in the world given its presence on so many continents and land masses. After the bird migrated to North America a couple million

and temperature. Biomes all have certain characteristics such as microorganisms‚ fungi‚ and animals which have adapted to their particular environment. There are eight major terrestrial biomes; tropical forest‚ desert‚ savanna‚ chaparral‚ temperate grassland‚ coniferous forest‚ temperate broadleaf forest‚ and tundra. The tropical forest can be separated into two categories; tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest. Both‚ tropical rainforest and tropical dry forest are found near the equator.

The Flow of Energy Stacey Ann Langston SCI/209 February 3‚ 2013 Cynthia Collin-Clausen The Flow of Energy The marine ecosystem relies on solar energy converted through photosynthesis by producers. Consumers‚ fish for example‚ metabolize‚ and release as chemical energy to convert into mechanical energy. The ecosystem distributes energy to living organisms through heat energy. Decomposers break down dead organisms and deplete them of their
