Climate
The two factors that determine climate.
What is temperature and precipitation.
The climate zone the tropical rainforest (0-10 degrees north and south) is located.
What is Tropical Zone.
The biome characterized by lots of rain, the most biodiversity, and low soil nutrients due to leaching.
What is the tropical rainforest.
The ecosystem service that includes taking drinking water from a lake.
What is a Provisioning Service.
The biome where we live.
What is Temperate Deciduous Forest.
The height above sea level and the distance from the equator. (Demonstrate you know which is which)
What is elevation and latitude.
The highest latitude (include direction(s)).
What is 90 degrees North and South.
The biome characterized by having grasses and low-lying shrubs, many insects and small animals, and being one of the best for agriculture.
What is grasslands.
The service you get from hiking a mountain range.
What is cultural service.
The word meaning that the ground is frozen year round.
What is permafrost.
The climate zone located at 60-90 degrees North and South.
What is polar zone.
The climate zone where the tundra (60-75 degrees N and S) is located.
What is polar zone.
The biome characterized by very low precipitation, soil low in nutrients, cacti, and small animals.
What is the desert.
The type of ecosystem you get from the trees performing photosynthesis.
What is Regulating/ Supporting service.
The country with the largest temperate deciduous forest.
What is the United States of America.
The climate zone between 30 and 60 degrees North and South.
The climate zone where the desert (20-30 degrees North and South) is located.
What is polar.
The biome characterized by a rainy and dry season, soil low in nutrients due to leaching, grasses with scattered trees, herds of hooved animals (like wildebeasts and elephants), and large predators (like hyenas and lions)
What is savannah.
The TWO biomes best for agriculture and the type of environmental service that agriculture provides.
What is grasslands and temperate deciduous forest; provisioning.
The type of trees with leaves that turn color and fall during the cold season.
What is deciduous.
The climate zone near the equator at 30 degrees North to 30 degrees South.
What is the tropical zone.
The climate zone where the boreal forest/ taiga (50-60 degrees North and South) is located.
What is temperate.
The biome characterized by acidic soil due to evergreen leaves and a cold climate.
What is boreal forest/ taiga.
The type of environmental service you get from carbon storage and an example of carbon storage.
Regulating/ Supporting Service and Trees, Coals, etc.
The types of trees you see more of when you go up north, where it is colder.
What is coniferous.
