Terrestrial biomes
This terrestrial biome has low temperatures and is home to the arctic fox and hare.
Tundra
This oceanic zone is 1000m to 4000m on the ocean floor.
Bathyal zone
An ecosystem or group of ecosystems in a specific region on earth that has a particular combination of biotic and abiotic factors
Biome
This type of aquatic biome includes the pelagic zone, oceanic zone, neritic zone and the intertidal zone.
Marine biome
Makes their own food by capturing energy to make organic molecules.
Autotrophs
This terrestrial biome has cold winters and long hot summers. It is home to antelope, wolves, coyotes, mice, rabbits, gophers, and snakes.
Prairie grasslands
This marine biome zone is subdivided into the neuritis zone and the oceanic zone.
Pelagic zone
The area of transition between two biomes
Ecotone
Semi enclosed ecosystems that are transitional between marine and freshwater habitats
Estuaries
A well established habitat with well established plants and animals.
Climax community
Also known as the taiga, this terrestrial biome is found in the northern hemisphere and is home to small mammals, moose and insects.
Boreal forest
This zone of the pelagic zone is shallow water and is found over the continental shelf
Neurotic zone
Temperature can affect terrestrial biomes
Yes, as the temperature increases, the abundance of terrestrial life increases.
Includes water like lakes and ponds or non flowing water
Freshwater biomes
Semi enclosed coastal ecosystem transitional between marine and freshwater habitats
Estuaries
This terrestrial biome is located in Atlantic provinces, southern Ontario, and southern Quebec. It is home to squirrels, rabbits, skunks, cougars, deer, wolves, bears, and amphibians.
Temperate deciduous forests
This zone is made up of complex ecosystems
Oceanic zone
Does precipitation affect terrestrial biomes?
Yes, as precipitation increases, the abundance of life also increases.
Flowing water and the speed and amount of water flow is important
Rivers
All the interacting organisms living in an area
Community
This terrestrial biome is treeless and has long, cold winters.
Tundra
This oceanic zone is between 4000m to 6000m deep.
Abyssal zone
Does latitude affect terrestrial biomes?
Yes, the same type of biome can occur in different parts of the world, but they are usually around the same latitude. High latitude, colder temperatures and longer winters
Name the three types of freshawater biome zones
Littoral zone, limnetic zone and the benthic zone
All the organisms and the non living environment found in a particular place
