Aquatic Biome! ! The aquatic biome makes up the largest part of the biosphere‚ covering nearly 75% of the Earth’s surface and consists of the freshwater biome and the marine biome. Freshwater regions consist of ponds‚ lakes‚ streams‚ rivers‚ wetlands and marine regions include oceans‚ coral reefs and estuaries. Marine biomes generally have salt concentrations that average 3%‚ whereas freshwater biomes are usually characterised by a salt concentration of less than 0.1%. The aquatic biome is probably

Savanna The savanna is a tropical biome monopolized by grasses‚ shrubs‚ and small trees. It’s grassland cover western India‚ northern Australia‚ South America‚ and other parts in Africa. In this biome it is very warm‚ there is little precipitation so there is not a lot of tall trees more like shrubs and bushes. A savanna is categorized between a tropical rainforest and a desert biome it is right in the middle of them. Savannas are created when humans burn grasslands and cut down trees kind of

Tundra Biomes In the world there are about twelve biomes. The major biomes include deserts‚ forests‚ grasslands‚ tundra and several aquatic environments. A biome is large geographical area with special plants and animal groups and they are adapted to that type of environment. The Tundra biome is the coldest biome of the many biomes. It is separated into two types which are the arctic and alpine. The following information was gathered from a few websites which include Blue Planet Biome‚ National

Biomes and Diversity The importance of Biomes is regulated and should be preserved by the environment for which any particular organism is located. The ecosystems composed in relation to the Biomes differ from region to region so a controlled system most be established to balance the growth of dominant inviters. This can help stop the lose of any one particular Biome. One for instance of lose of Biomes accrued when humans take over land for the development of homes‚ mini malls‚ and so on

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

A Biome is a large region of land and/or water characterized by a particular climate. Biomes can 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

are the grassy plains on our planet. There are about 11‚000 species of grass and each one adapted for survival to survive in the environmental conditions. About a quarter 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.
