Which biomes have extreme temperatures?
What is Tundra which is extremely cold and desert which is extremely hot.
200
What characteristics of a Tundra that makes it difficult for a high level of biodiversity to develop?
What is very low temperatures and very little precipitation.

What biome is found in the artic region?
What is Tundra
200
What biomes will you find owls, black bears, fox and coyotes? ( hint: seasonal foliage).
What is deciduous forest.

300
What is the general trend of the biodiversity in biomes as the latitude moves from the arctic region towards the equator?
What is the biodiversity increase as the latitude changes from the artic region towards the equator.
300
What biomes are found in the tropical region?
What is tropical rainforest and desert
300
What biome will you find rattlesnakes, roadrunners, armadillos? (hint: little rainfall)
What is desert.
300
Describe adaptations plants have made to be able to live in a desert.
What is small reduced leaves (spines), store water within plant( cacti), spines and hairs to protect from being eaten.
400
What would be the most likely reason for grasslands having grasses rather than trees as their dominant plant species?
What is grasslands have considerably less precipitation than deciduous forest. Trees require more water than grasses.
400
What characteristics of the grasslands biome make it a critical source of food for the U.S and other countries?
Moderate temperatures and appropriate amounts (not too much or too little) of rainfall are beneficial for growing grain.
400
What is the arctic region.
400
What biome will you find polar bears and caribou?
What is Tundra.
400
Which biome has coconut palm, coffee, cocoa and orchids?
What is tropical rainforest.
500
Describe the relationship between temperature, precipitation and the type of forest.
What is a colder temperature and lower amounts of precipitation result in coniferous forest, a more temperate climate with higher amounts of precipitation results in deciduous forest; and a higher temperature with high precipitation results in the tropical rainforest.
500
If rainfall in the grasslands biome decreases to what type of biome would the grasslands biome convert to?
What is a more desert like biome as rainfall decreases.
500
What biomes are found in the temperate region?
What is Deciduous Forest & Grasslands
500
What biome will you find coyote, prairie dogs, and grasshopper? (hint: treeless plains).
What is grasslands.
500
What is the difference between coniferous and deciduous trees?
Coniferous have needles instead of leaves. They have waxy covers to protect structures. They are called evergreens, pine trees and produce cones for reproduction.
Deciduous trees shed their leaves seasonally.
