AFRICAN SAVANNA! Description: Savannahs are considered tropical grasslands because they are located at tropical latitudes‚ however much drier than many tropical forests. There is a distinct dry season‚ which is in the winter. Savannas get all their rain in the summer months. During the dry season‚ most of the plants shrivel up and die‚ some rivers dry up‚ and most of the animals migrate to find food. In the wet season all of the plants are lush and the rivers flow freely. The animals migrate

Rain Forests Vegetation • More than two thirds of the world’s plant species are found in the tropical rainforests: plants that provide shelter and food for rainforest animals as well as taking part in the gas exchanges which provide much of the world’s oxygen supply. • Rainforest plants live in a warm humid environment that allows an enormous variation rare in more temperate climates: some like the orchids have beautiful flowers adapted to attract the profusion of forest insects.

Dear Coach Williams‚ A savannah is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees.They are found in a wide band on either side of the equator on the edges of tropical rainforests. Savannahs are mostly hot year round. On regular days it can get to 68 to 86 degrees. In the winter‚ the temperature is 68 to 78 degrees. There are only two seasons in a savannah: a long dry winter‚ and a very wet summer. In the dry season only around 4 inches of rain occur. During the month of May the Monsoon

again. This interaction between atmosphere and ocean is what gives us our weather and climate which is known as Atmospheric Circulation/Convection (ETAP‚ 2012). Mechanisms that produce high precipitation in the tropics and temperate latitudes and low precipitation in the tropics The meeting of warm and humid air at the inter tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) from both hemispheres brought by trade winds and the subsequent rise of the air (convection) in the atmosphere.

Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel Episode Three: Into the Tropics This episode was actually rather interesting. In general‚ it basically discussed how guns‚ germs‚ and steel have affected and influenced the shaping of African societies as it is today. Diamond’s main quest is to answer the question: why did the world become so unequal? In the mid-1600s the Europeans first arrive at the southernmost tip of South Africa. The southernmost tip of Africa and Europe are almost identical in latitude‚ with

The air‚ which is humid‚ carrying vapor from surrounding bodies of water‚ is one of the major causes of skin problems like allergies‚ bungang-araw‚ itchiness‚ also said to be causing freckles and pimples‚ and the list goes on. Test results suggest that every 5 out of 11 teenagers acquire freckles. Statistics also shows that 85% of teenagers have

tremendously more fiercely and destructive. Cyclones are originated during the months January up to March‚ when the sun is already returning from the southern tropic in direction to the northern tropic; While the sun is positioned for a short time vertically in the sky above the equator‚ thus only passes it briefly‚ it spends more time in the area of the tropics‚ as the sun gets there‚ turns around and slowly returns. The consequence is that the air and water temperatures strongly increase. According to statistics
