The tropical monsoon climate is found in those regions where there is a complete seasonal reversal of winds. It is mainly found beyond the equatorial region between 10° and 25° North and South of the Equator. On-shore summer winds blowing from over tropical warm oceans generate the abundant precipitation‚ while the off-shore winds from over land make the weather dry during winter. The most clearly defined monsoon climates are located in the coastal areas of the eastern and southern Asia. For example

The last insect that lives in the tropical rainforest is an army ant. Ants that live in the tropical rainforest will eat The second insect is the Goliath Spider. The Goliath Spider eats things that are larger than them. Such as frogs‚ rodents‚ bats‚ lizards and small snakes. They may eat a bird whenever they feel like it but it’s not a high chance that they will be eaten the most. The Goliath Spider doesn’t have any predators because of how much damage they can do to any type of species. The

TROPICAL RAINFORESTS - WHERE AND WHAT ARE THEY? _______________________________________________ Tropical rainforests are found across the world between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer‚ 22.5° North and 22.5° South of the Equator. Almost half of the remaining tropical rainforest is found in tropical America‚ a bit more than a third in Asia and Oceania‚ and fifteen percent in Africa. Tropical rainforests cover approximately 8% of the world’s land surface - an area of approximately

Introduction There are many different biomes that cover the surface of the planet‚ but there is one that is of particular importance‚ the tropical rainforest of Africa‚ The Congo. This vast rainforest is home to almost half of Africa’s animal species and is the second largest rainforest in the world.(“pbs.org”‚ n.d.) The Congo plays an important role in climate regulation‚ both locally and globally‚ and contains a wealth of biodiversity‚ including thousands of endemic plants and

The natural world is extremely varied‚ so an easier way biologists and people can better understand the Earth’s environment and its ecosystems is to categorize it into groups called biomes. Biomes are arranged by specific environmental conditions (i.e. rainfall‚ temperature‚ and humidity) and house specific types of vegetation or factors that allow organisms adapt to these environments. Cataloguing organisms that share similar adaptations makes it easier to study all the environments found on Earth

My biome is terrestrial. It is found in South America‚Africa‚and Asia.The thing that is unique about my biome is that there are certain features common to all tropical rainforest. Some producers and consumers are a plant and the butterfly eats the leaves off the trees and plants which makes the butterfly a primary consumer. Next the frog eats the butterfly which makes the frog a secondary consumer.After that the snake eats the frog which makes the snake a tertiary consumer.Finally when the snake

Marine Animal – Sakick Tropical Animal – Uguanda Part B The Sakick The Sakick is a relatively large omnivorous sea creature that dwells in coral reefs and preys upon multiple fish species as well being able to eat ocean vegetation as well. Sakick’s natural habitat is full of a variety of larger species but because of the Sakick’s natural defence capabilities it is prey to nearly no other creatures besides humans‚ however the hunting of Sakick’s is relatively light as they do not possess many

Aquatic Biomes An aquatic biome is an ecological community dominated by water. This biome can be broken down into two categories: o Freshwater‚ which includes rivers‚ streams‚ ponds‚ lakes and freshwater wetland. o Marine or saltwater‚ which includes oceans‚ seas‚ estuaries‚ coral reefs and saltwater wetland. Each of these aquatic ecosystems can be defined by variables such as temperature‚ the presence or absence of light‚ and the availability of nutrients. Aquatic biomes cover almost all the

The Rainforest Ecosystem “In an average year in a tropical rain forest‚ the climate is very humid because of all the rainfall‚ which amounts to about 250 cm per year” ("Discover The Rainforest "‚ 2011). The rain forest has large amounts of rain because it is very hot and wet. Tropical rainforests are defined by rainfall. They would not survive without it. Not all rain forests have tropical sunny weather. “Subtropical rainforests that lay outside of the tropics have seasonal

To what extent are the impacts of Tropical Revolving storms determined by human factors rather than physical factors? (40marks) A tropical revolving storm is a huge and extremely violent tropical storm which can be up to 500km in diameter. The Coriolis force is the driving force behind the spinning of these storms creating a lot of the storms power. These TRS are either known as hurricanes in the North Atlantic Region or Typhoons in the South East Asia region. However to become a TRS they have to
