Thunderstorms and hail in summer Climate Frost in winter Grass Vegetation Trees in hills and riverbeds Black korhaan Birds Grassland Blue crane Guinea fowl Animals Blesbok Black wildebeest Eland Deep Soil Dark Fertile upper layers Less summer rainfall Climate High temperatures Baobab Vegetation Bushland Mopane Climates Monkey thorn trees Soil Different Different parts of the world that have Savannah Most popular animals Types of vegetation Hornbill Have similar living and non-living components Is very critical to the level of rainfall Each biome has ecosystems that live under the same conditions Animal life Flycatcher Birds Woodpeckers Evaporation from the ocean Shrikes Temperature of the ocean affects climates Soil Oceans Consume carbon dioxide as well Climate Marine algae source of oxygen Vary from large kelp plants to microscopic organisms Thin and lacking in humus Temperate Vegetation Whales Tees Sharks Animals Marine Biomes Aquatic Forest Molluscs Animal life Blue duikers Crustaceous animals Leopards Crowned eagles Coral reefs 2. Biosphere Climate Regions of the biosphere that have certain characteristics Absorb water when the level is too high Soil type Release when the level is too low They are a sponge Vegetation Organisation The Biosphere and Biomes 4. Ecosystems The biosphere 5. Communities 6. Populations Components Individual living things Hydrosphere Oceans, lakes and water vapour Lithosphere Atmosphere Arum lily Water lilies Small shrubs and grasses Vegetation Biomes Terrestrial Trees grow by rivers Nama-karoo Black eared foxes Black backed jackals Animal life Flora Ostriches Types Wetlands Spring hares Red-hot poker Infertile Soil Southern red bishop The same species living together 7. Organisms Cold in winter Prevent the flooding of lakes Sedges All different types of living organisms living together Very hot in summer Appearance Grasses Units in nature in which living and non-living things interact with each other Rainfall is low Climate Shallow water Vegetation growing in and on the edges of the water Fertile Semi-desert Kelp beds 1. Earth 3. Biomes Soil Ecosystems Open sea The part of Earth and its atmosphere where living organisms are found Rich in lime Shelduck Insects Mammals Earth’s crust Winter rainfall Climate Fauna Striped stream frog the gases surrounding earth Dry summer Summer over 40ºC Reptiles Rocks on and below the surface Turaco Bushpigs Rocky shores Definition Ironwood Birds Octopuses Crabs Yellowwood Thick plants with fleshly leaves Freshwater Amphibians Vegetation Succulent karoo Bodies of flowing water that move in one direction Have spines for water Survive in the form of seeds Bat eared fox Water temperature at the source is cooler than at the mouth Species diversity increases Algae Barking gecko Rivers and Streams Climate The middle of the stream Carp Fish that require less oxygen Less light can penetrate Plants Water becomes murky from the sediment Vegetation The mouth of the stram Cool, wet winter Hot, dry summer Evergreen plants with hard, tiny leaves Fewer plants Catfish Meerkat Water nearer to the source is cleaner and has a higher oxygen level Width increases Floating weeds Suricate Animal life Water level can depend on time of year Trout can be found here Can store water Fynbos Proteas Ericas Resitios Grysbok Animal life Geometric tortoises Protea seedeaters Cape sugarbirds Soil Climate Poor Rainfall varies Replaces forest Vegetation Wild olive trees Shrubs and low evergreen trees Vines Aloe Elephant Thicket Animal life Kudu Vervet monkey Bushbuck Dune sand Soil Sandy Clay soils In one word: variable
