In a savanna you would likely see what large herds of grazing animals, such as kind of animals rhinos, gazelles, and giraffes Grasslands are threatened by what? soil erosion because native grasses have been damaged or destroyed by plowing and overgrazing What vegetation would you find in a a forest biome dominated by coniferous taiga? trees, such as pine, fir, and spruce The tropical rain forest has the greatest they have specialized ways of surviving in species diversity. How do all these order to avoid competition species survive in the same area? Where do you find permafrost? tundra An area where most of the animals are desert nocturnal would be the ___. What land structure would you find near mountain ranges a desert? Do grasslands have rich soil? yes Which biome is very fragile? tundra Biomes are described by their _____ vegetation What is an adaptation for coniferous they have leaves that retain water, due to trees in the taiga? their shape and waxy coating What would be adaptations for plants in plants in the understory have large flat a tropical rain forest? leaves that soak up scarce sunlight Adaptations used by animals of the they burrow underground to protect from tundra. the cold As you travel from the North Pole tundra, taiga, (temperate rain forest, toward the equator you would see grasslands, desert, temperate deciduous which biomes in their correct order. forest, chaparral), tropical rain forest, savanna Know the characteristics of temperate high humidity, moderate temperature, rain forest. abundant mosses, ferns, lichens, and large Know what latitude and altitude are? evergreen trees latitude- distance north and south of the equator measured in degrees altitude- how far above sea level What are the main factors that temperature and precipitation determine what types of plants grow in (climate) a biome? Biomes with high temperatures and shorter and less dense vegetation little precipitation tend to have what kinds of vegetation? What threatens the tropical rain forest? deforestation and the trade of rain forest plants and animals When would desert animals search for food? night Deforestation of the rain forest may flooding cause climate change which will affect what other weather phenomenon? Animals that burrow would most likely desert be found in what biome? This biome is responsible for the tropical rain forest evolution of numerous highly specialized animal species. This biome has annual rainfall of less desert than 25 cm. Biomes that can be found up to 30 tropical rain forest degrees north or south of the equator often are _____. Tropical rain forest is being destroyed lumber and agriculture primarily for ____. Vegetation is short trees, shrubs, and water grasses, in biome that have scarce amounts of ___. This biome receive 200-450 cm of rain rain forest per year. Areas with greatest animal diversity equator would be located near the ___. Animals such as bison and badgers live where? North American grasslands What is the frozen layer of soil just permafrost beneath the surface? Which biome is very sensitive to human tundra disturbance and has food chains that are easily disrupted? Many forest biomes are experiencing deforestation habitat destruction called ___________. Plants and animals have ___ that allow adaptations them to live in that biome. What is the common adaptation of camouflage animals living in the desert? What layer of the tropical rain forest receives that most sunlight? upper canopy
