Luis Perez 11/23/10 6th The Tundra Biome Being the coldest and least filled with plant life‚ the tundra biome is noted as frost-molded landscapes with extreme temperatures. The tundra biome has low biotic diversity‚ low precipitation‚ and all around low‚ cold temperatures. The average temperature of the biome varies going from -25’C to 3’C between the months of January to July‚ then reverting from 3’C to -25’C between the months of July to December. Through those temperatures it causes a cycle

Biomes: What is a biome? Biomes are regions of the world with similar climate (weather‚ temperature)‚ animals and plants. There are terrestrial biomes (land) and aquatic biomes (water). Biome Tundra: Location- Regions south of the ice caps in the Arctic. In North America‚ Northern Europe and Asia. Climate- Short cool summers and long freezing cold winters. High winds. Adaptions- Thick fur to survive during winter and found places to hibernate during winter. Plants- Lichens mosses

Kennedy Benjamin 2 April 2014 Ms. Peeples 4B Honors Chemistry Biome Shifting Global warming is a mostly natural process that has been going on for as long as Earth has existed. Global warming has many effects on the Earth such as rise in sea level‚ overall increased rise in the temperature of Earth‚ and even bizarre weather. However‚ the topic I will discuss today is how global warming causes climate changes and how this climate change affects our environment and our economic systems. Climate

TROPICAL CYCLONES IN AUSTRALI A Tropical cyclone is one of the most common natural hazards in Australia. It’s also called ‘typhoon’‚ ‘hurricane’‚ ‘tropic storm’ and so on. If you look at the climatological data for tropical cyclone‚ you can find out that the actual shape of a tropical cyclone is almost the same as a whirlpool. How could this amazing phenomenon happen? There’re several conditions needed to develop a tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones are formed above the ocean

Research Paper The ocean is one of‚ if not‚ the largest biome on earth. There are more than one million species of marine life. Covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface‚ the ocean is our planet’s largest habitat‚ containing 99 percent of the living space on the planet. This area holds the life of nearly 50 percent of all species on Earth. Like lakes‚ oceans are subdivided into separate zones: intertidal‚ pelagic‚ abyssal‚ and benthic. All four zones have a great diversity of species. The

The Borneo Rainforest is located in Borneo which is the third largest island in the world and is located north of Java‚ Indonesia‚ at the geographic centre of Maritime Southeast Asia. The Rainforest is 130 million years old‚ which makes it the oldest rainforest in the world. The Borneo rainforest is one of the only remaining natural habitats for the endangered Bornean Orangutan. It is an important refuge for many endemic forest species‚ including the Asian Elephant‚ the Sumatran Rhinoceros‚ the

of our vegetation consists of grasses‚ and some grow under very difficult conditions because of the climate in the grasslands. Grasses also developed unique characteristics to survive. The climate in the grassland biome is slightly drier than the climate in the deciduous forest biome. The temprature ranges from 20 c to 30 c. The average rainfall varies in the grassland from 10 to 40 inches year around. Fires in the grassland can cause the grasslands to thrive. The grass that gets burned enriches

Case in point the Southern New England woodland incorporates 20 or 30 tree species while in the rainforest of Peru there are colossal amounts of types of trees (Patrick 15). There are likewise extra approaches to view biodiversity and that is in stages. These stages can be the "assorted qualities of more noteworthy vegetation‚ amount of species‚ or communicated

The marine biome is one of the largest biomes on the earth. It spans three fourths of the earths surface. It includes all five oceans the Arctic‚ Indian‚ Southern‚ Atlantic‚ and Pacific. In it There are many many types of fish and also some mammals. The oceans span wide and deep. There are also plants in the ocean. The ocean is a vast and mysterious place where we are still discovering many things about it everyday. The physical attributes of the ocean depend on which ocean you explore‚for example
