How long does each season last in the temperate deciduous forest?
What is three months
100
Most of the precipitation that falls in this biome is in what form?
What is snow
100
This grassland is warm year round, and has both a rainy and dry season.
What is the tropical savanna.
100
Mountains, air temperature, water, and sunlight are all
abiotic
100
What is one reason why farming hard to do in the TRF
rain washes nutrients away or there is so much plant life that as soon as nutrients go into the soil they get sucked right back out
200
The chemical deciduous trees would be show in the summer time?
What is chlorophyll?
200
Two behavioral adaptations that animals have made that allow them to deal with cold weather.
What is hibernations and migration.
200
What is the main reason why the soil of the temperate grassland has such rich soil
The frequent fires
200
Describe the difference between climate and weather
Weather is short term measurements of temperature and precipitation while climate is long term measurements of temperature and precipitation.
200
Describe two two structural and two behavioral adaptations animals have made to survive in the desert
Structural:
1. long ears to radiate heat
2. brown fur to blend in
3. long legs to stay away from heat
Behavioral:
1. More active at night when it's cooler
2. licking arms to cool off
3. finding shade
4. digging under hot sand to find cool sand
300
Two reasons why the soil in the temperate deciduous forest is very rich
1. falling leaves add nutrients to the soil.
2. dead cicadas add nutrients to the soil.
300
What are two structural adaptations that animals in the TCF have made that allow them to survive in such a cold biome?
1. Fur color changes to match background
2. Thick coat of fur
3. Short blocky bodies
4. Big paws that allow them to walk on top of the snow.
5. Long legs to keep body out of the snow.
300
Even though you can farm in the tropical savanna what are two things that make it difficult to do so
The rainy season washes nutrients away and during the dry season there isn't enough rain for crops
300
Definition of a biome
A geographic area with specific climate, animals, plants and soil
300
Explain how trees in the TRF are able to create their own rainfall
Due to the high amounts of rain there is lots of transpiration that results in rain clouds forming from the tree leaves
400
Two reasons why deciduous trees drop their leaves in the autumn?
1. There is less precipitation in autumn
2. Temperatures are colder in autumn
3. There is less sunlight in autumn
400
Which of the following states is partially located in the TCF?
Ohio
Alaska
Kentucky
West Virginia
Illinois
Alaska
400
What is one reason why there aren't many trees in the temperate grassland
1. Freuent fires
2. Not enough rainfall for many trees to survive
400
When a leaf turns orange in the autumn you are seeing this chemical
carotenoids
400
What is an epiphyte and why do so many of them live in the TRF
Plants that live on other plants. There are so many in the TRF because they are able to get close to the sun living on other plants
500
What season would this be in the temperate deciduous forest?
Winter
500
Describe three adaptations evergreen trees have made that allow them to survive in the temperate coniferous forest.
1. Bendable branches
2. Shaped in a way to shed snow
3. Wax coated needles that prevent transpiration
4. Have resin that acts as an antifreeze and prevents water from freezing in the tree
5. Not losing needles so they can photosynthesize all year long.
500
In what biome would you more likely need a weapon to survive? The tropical savanna or the temperate grassland.
Tropical savanna
500
What are two reasons why you won't find trees in the tundra
not enough precipitation and permafrost
500
Why do so many carnivorous plants live in the TRF
Because there is a lack of nutrients in the soil
