But oceans just don’t result in varying gradient of humidity that gives rise to different vegetations and ultimately widely different biomes when coupled with other factors such as differential exposure to solar radiation‚ and inherent soil type. Oceans are living systems that themselves support numerous life forms whether plant or animal; whether microscopic phytoplankton or the gigantic

Professor Markham 5 October 2012 Homework assignment # 4 Ch. 5 p. 113 8. What factors most strongly influence the type of biome that forms in particular place on land? What type of factors determines the type of aquatic system that may form in a given location? The two factors that strongly influence the type of biome on land is the temperature and the precipitation. The type of factors that strongly influence aquatic systems is water temp‚ salinity‚ dissolved nutrient’s‚ wave action‚ currents

grasslands‚ etc. However‚ the tropical rainforest is truly the world’s most diverse biome in both structure and species diversity. The Tropical rainforest is characterized by a dense growth of trees and by the continuously canopy that is formed by the broad- leaved Evergreen trees. There is also large amounts of precipitation annually and there is no dry season‚ which is a major factor for the organisms in the biome. A Tropical rainforest is defined as a woodland. It has many kinds of trees than

discovered within the past few years‚ these questions can be answered and the transformation of whales has become more clear. This paper will discuss the existing evidence‚ that whales descended from terrestrial mammals‚ from a palentological point of view and will explain the transformation from terrestrial mammals-- through more and more whale-like forms-- until the appearance of modern whales. The idea that whales are descendents from land mammals goes back to Darwin’s suggested theory that whales

Q. 1. Explain with diagram the structure and function of environment? Ans. Environment is a collective term for all the conditions in which an organism lives. It includes biotic and abiotic components whereas habitat is a place where an organism lives. The different components of environment are inter-linked and interdependent. [pic] The organisms interact with physical environment composed of atmosphere‚ hydrosphere and lithosphere Environment
