Biomes
No climate
lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams are made of fresh water. Ducks, turtles, and amphibians live in an aquatic system
Freshwater Biome
cool in the Winter, hot in the summer, its terrestrial land.
consists of: foxes, praire dogs, snakes, and rabbits ferns near river banks, tumbleweeds
Grasslands/Prairie
excess water that runs back into the rivers, oceans, lakes, etc
runoff
Stratus Clouds
measures air pressure
Barometer
No Climate
The ocean contains the LARGEST mammals
An ocean has the greatest bio diversity.
Saltwater/Marine Biome
hot and dry all year
very little water
plants are able to conserve water for a long time here.
Desert
Water in the plants' leaves evaporates and turns to water vapor
Transpiration
wispy, feather-like clouds high in the sky; brings sunny and fair weather
Cirrus
measures wind speed
Anemometer
Freshwater mixes with saltwater to provide nutrient rich environment
Provides freshwater for plants and animals
Removes pollutants from the water
Estuary
Very cold winters, cool summers
There are spruce, fir, and other evergreens
rodents, snowshoe hares, lynx, sables, ermine, caribou, bears, wolves and birds in the summer
Taiga/coniferous forest
rain, hail, sleet, or snow that falls from the clouds
Precipitation
puffy clouds, look like cotton balls; brings sunny and fair weather (could indicate rain is on the way)
Cumulus
measures the direction of the wind
Wind Vane
This is WHERE WE LIVE!!!
climate: mild summers, cold winters
leaves change color and fall off
season CHNGE and trees have adapted to the different seasons
Deciduous Forest
coldest of all biomes
known for its frost-molded landscape
extremely low (cold) temperatures
Very Little Precipitation
Tundra
The suns heat causes the water to evaporate and causes the water vapor to rise.
Evaporation
dark puffy clouds stacked high in the sky; may bring thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail, and tornadoes
Cumulonimbus
Measures the amount of rainfall
located near the Equater, therefore, the temperature is always warm.
It is made up of three layers
The forest floor doesn't get much sunlight
this biome has the most species
Tropical Rain forest
True or False- The aquatic and terrestrial biomes both support plants, animals, and microorganisms.
True
as the water vapor rises, the air cools and water vapor turns to water droplets and collects on dust particles, which forms a cloud that gets heavy with precipitation
Condensation
a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are so small and light that they can float in the air.
a cloud
Measures humidity
Hygrometer
