Biome
What is biome?
A biome is a large geographical area.
What is climate change?
Climate change refers to long term changes in weather patterns.
What are abiotic factors?
Abiotic factors are non-living things.
What are biotic factors?
Biotic factors are the living things in an ecosystem.
What are ocean currents?
Ocean currents are streams of water moving across the ocean.
What factors determine the type of biome?
The primary factors that determine a biome is temperature and precipitation.
What is the main cause of climate change?
The main reason is to climate change is the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gasses.
What are some examples of abiotic factors?
Some are sunlight, temperature, water, and soil.
How do biotic factors interact with each other?
Biotic factors interact with each other by competition, predation, symbiosis, and disease transmission.
What causes ocean currents?
Ocean currents are primarily caused by wind, temperature, and salinity.
What are some examples of plants and animals in a tropical rainforest biome?
Giant trees, orchids, monkeys, snakes and frogs.
What are the effects of climate change?
Climate change leads to a range of impacts, including rising global temperatures.
How do abiotic factors affect ecosystems?
Abiotic factors can limit or promote the growth and distribution of organisms.
How do biotic factors interact with abiotic factors?
Biotic factors depend on abiotic factors for survival and reproduction.
How do ocean currents affect climate?
Ocean currents play an important role in regulating the global climate by spreading heat.
What are major types of biome?
Aquatic/freshwater and marine, forests, taiga, and temperate rainforest/grasslands, desserts, and tundras.
What is the role of individuals in addressing climate change?
Why is it important to study abiotic factors?
Abiotic factors is good for understanding how ecosystems function and how they are effected by humans.
How can the balance of biotic factors be disrupted?
What are surface currents?
Surface currents are ocean currents that occur at or near the surface of the ocean.
What are some adaptations of plants and animals in a desert biome?
Plants have some small leaves or spines to reduce water loss, and animals have adaptations like nighttime activity and water storage.
How can we address climate change?
Addressing climate change requires a global effort to reduce greenhouse gasses.
What is the difference between abiotic and biotic factors?
Biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem, abiotic are the nonliving things in an ecosystem.
What are some examples of biotic factors?
Biotic factors are the living things such as animals, fish, and other living things that you can find.
What are gyres?
Gyres are large circularly systems of ocean currents that are driven by wind patterns.
