| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When in the contenetal United States, which of the following biomes would be the hardest to find! | marine |
| Which features characterize a desert? | succulents, dryness, highly adaptive animals |
| What are some of the limiting factors in a freshwater biome? | turbidity (current, temp), light, dessolved oxygen |
| Which area of the marine biome is the hardest for orgamisms to live in? | intertidal zone |
| In which biome(s) are plants likely to have elaborate water storing systems? | Desert |
| What is the typical order of plant life that occurs in primary succession? | grass, shrubs, pines, deciduous trees |
| Increasing altitude is similar to increasing _____________ in its effect on climate. | latitude |
| Fish living in a river that has a fast current most likely: | have oxygen requirements |
| Nonliving factros that affect how orgamisms live would be called | abiotic |
| Frequent rain, cold winters; trees that lose thier leaves, deer, wolves | Artic |
| Many tree-climbing snakes, rain almost every day, tall broad-leaf trees, dense canopy, colorful birds | tropical rain forests |
| Giraffes, elephants, lions, kangaroos | savannas |
| long cold winters, short summers; pine trees, spruce trees, elk, small rodents | Artic |
| little rain, hot days & cold nights; succulents, lizards, scorpions | deserts |
| higher salinity, vent regions | Marine |
| two-thirds of the world's species are found here | marine |
| bass and catfish | water |
| the region of eart that supports all living things is the | biosphere |
| The mountains affect the amount of precipitation an area may receive. A common biome found on the leeward side of a mountain range is? | desert |
| Normally, a transition from a forest biome to a grassland biome occurs as | climate change |
| 75-95 degrees F, and the highest amount of rainfall | tropical rain forest |
| In North Americal and Spain, receives 10-30 inches of rain | prairie |
| has almost no precipitation, and - 4- to -15 termperature range | polar tundra |
| 40 - 85 degrees with precipitation ranging from 30-50 inches | tropical rain forest |
| polar bear, ice caps over water not land | arctic tundra |
| actual trees, coniferous trees, temp 50-60 F | taiga |
| Eastern United States | temperate decidduous forest, 40-85 degrees F |
| Northern California to Southern Alaska, 50-70 degrees F, Redwoods and Sequoias | temperate rain forest |
| rolling grassland, scattered with shrubs and isolated trees, warm temperature year around | savanna |
| which kind of succession will occur after a forest fire? | secondary |
| water holds more heat than land, and gives it off more slowly. This explains why | coastal land areas have a smaller temperature range |
| which marine zone will you find the most photosynthetic organisms | photic |
| In a deciduous forest biome what are the layers called? | canopy, understory, shrubs and herbs, litter |
| What is the canopy in the temperate diciduous forest biome? | like an umberella or hat where the light filters in |
| What is the understory in a deciduous forest biome? | where the trees are (?smaller?) |
| What are the shrubs and herbs in a deciduous forest biome? | where the shrubs and burshes are |
| What is the litter in a deciduous forest biome? | the forest floor with decomposing leaves |
| What are the 6 climate controls? | dry,hot,wet,cold,temp,density |
| Which geographic locations most likely have similar biomes? | The North Pole and upper most parts of Asia |
