True/False:
Southern Africa has no desert biome.
False
What am I:
I am the largest aquatic biome, covering the vast oceans and seas. My waters are salty, and I encompass a wide variety of ecosystems, from the deep sea to the coastal areas, supporting life forms ranging from tiny plankton to massive whales.
Marine
What am I:
I am a biome characterized by extremely low rainfall and harsh conditions. My temperatures can be scorching hot during the day and freezing at night.
Desert
What am I:
I am a biome with warm temperatures and high humidity all year round. I receive abundant rainfall and am home to the most diverse range of plant and animal species on Earth.
Tropical rainforest
What is the most prominent biome can be found in Antarctica?
Polar land
True/False:
Desert biomes present on all continents except Antarctica.
False
What am I:
I am a biome where temperatures are extremely cold all year round, and the land is covered in ice and snow.
Polar Lands
What am I:
I am a biome where grasses dominate the landscape, with few trees. My climate ranges from temperate to tropical, and I experience wet and dry seasons.
Grasslands
What is the most prominent biome can be found in Northern south Africa?
Desert
I am an aquatic biome that consists of bodies of water like rivers, lakes, streams, and ponds. My waters are low in salt content, and I support a diverse range of plant and animal life.
Freshwater
True/False:
In Australia there is no tundra biome.
True
What am I:
I am a unique and colorful marine biome found in warm, shallow waters of tropical oceans. I am built by tiny organisms called coral polyps, and I am home to a diverse range of marine species, making me one of the most biologically rich ecosystems on Earth.
Coral Reefs
What is the most prominent biome can be found in Northern south America?
Tropical forest
What am I:
I am a biome characterized by dense forests of coniferous trees like pine, spruce, and fir. I experience long, cold winters and short, warm summers. My trees are adapted to withstand heavy snowfall.
Boreal forest
Mountain Vegetation biomes are often characterized by this type of coniferous tree, which is adapted to withstand cold temperatures and heavy snowfall.
Pine trees
True/False:
The mountain vegetation biome is the most prominent biome on the western coast of South America.
True
What is the most prominent biome can be found in Europe?
Temperate forest
What am I:
I am a biome with four distinct seasons, where deciduous trees like oak, maple, and birch lose their leaves in autumn. I have moderate temperatures and rainfall, supporting a diverse range of plant and animal life.
Temperate forest
What am I:
I am a biome found at high altitudes where temperatures are cooler and the air is thinner. My vegetation varies greatly depending on elevation, with alpine meadows, hardy shrubs, and sparse trees.
Mountain Vegetation
What am I:
I am a cold and treeless biome, often found near the polar regions, where the ground is frozen most of the year. During the short summer, the top layer of soil thaws, allowing some grasses, mosses, and low shrubs to grow.
Tundra
What is the most prominent biome can be found in Northern Asia?
Tundra
The Boreal Forest biome, also known as this, covers large areas of Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia, making it the largest terrestrial biome in the world.
Taiga
This process, crucial to the survival of Boreal Forest trees, allows them to conserve water and survive the cold winters by dropping their needles, which are specially adapted to reduce water loss.
Needle shedding
This natural disturbance, often occurring during the summer months, plays a key role in maintaining the health and regeneration of the Boreal Forest by clearing out old trees and making way for new growth.
Wildfire
This large herbivore, adapted to the cold conditions of the Boreal Forest, is known for its massive antlers and ability to eat a variety of vegetation, including twigs and bark.
