Climate is a measure of the average pattern of variation in temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ wind‚ precipitation‚ atmospheric particle count and other meteorological variables in a given region over long periods of time. Climate is different from weather‚ in that weather only describes the short-term conditions of these variables in a given region. A region’s climate is generated by the climate system‚ which has five components: atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ cryosphere‚ land surface‚ and biosphere

mainly located around the belt at the equator. The climate of the rainforest is warm most of the year and has a lot of rain through most of the year. The climate is perfect for animals and plant growth. Even though the rainforests cover such a little amount of land mass of the Earth‚ they are home to the largest number of plant and animal species in such a concentrated area. what’s the climate and location? The tropical rainforests climate is very warm‚ it has an average annual temperature

Climate‚ vegetation and fire influence positive and/or negative actions imposed on one another. Climate affects vegetation by means of any form of precipitation (rain‚ snow‚ fog‚ etc). Climate also affects the different types of vegetations that will burn after long periods or seasonally due to the variables of precipitation. Fires can be caused through natural impacts or through human endeavors. Fires usually arise after long dry hot periods in windy weather when humidity is relatively low. Under

His methods of survival were clear and he was able to make a few friends along the way. Throughout this journey from an unknown place to his home and family he traveled through 3 different terrestrial biomes. The biomes of Pangaea are similar to the ones known in our current world today but they’re in odd pairs. He

This climate and its associated biome is mostly located near the equator and between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Some specific places this biome and climate exist is in Central America‚ South America‚ Africa and the Indonesian archipelago. The two largest rain forests are The Amazon in South America and in central Africa centered on the drainage basin of the Congo

Biomes‚ every single spices lives in one. Biomes are large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. They can be found over range of continents and have common characteristics with plants and animals. There are many types of Biomes on earth. BIomes are distinct from habitats‚ because any biome can comprise a variety of habitats. In our lab we had figure out the major components in a biome.

Bio 9/12/10 Coral Reef Biome Though not considered a major biome‚ coral reefs qualify by definition. Coral reefs are marine ecosystems located within clear‚ shallow water. These reefs require water between 25 and 31 degrees Celsius‚ and do well in water with a salinity of 34 and 37 parts per 1000. These conditions are most often found within 30 degrees latitude of the equator‚ or in other words‚ the tropics. As the name suggests‚ corral reefs are formed by colonies of coral polyps.

What are the Differences and Similarities between Freshwater and Saltwater Fish? There are many differences between freshwater and saltwater fish‚ as the anatomy (how they absorb and dispose of unneeded water‚ sizes and reproduction)‚ where they are located‚ climate‚ feeding and species. In addition‚ there are many similarities they share as they are some species that eats the same prey‚ the same food chain (the biggest will eat the smallest) and some parts from their anatomy (fish scales‚ gills
