Temperate
forests
are affected by
great mountain barriers
Rain
can result in
soil water deficits
Humans mainly don't live in
tundras
Tundra
Extreme
cold biome
used for research
Pollution
is affecting global warming, causing
ice
in
tundras
to melt
Oil
reserves in the
Arctic
are a major impact of human activity in
tundras
Oil
and
gas
industries have led to
pollution
in the
tundra
Grassland
Moderate weather
allows people to live there
People survive in
grasslands
by
hunting
for food
Overhunting
and
overfishing
break the
harmony
between plants and
animals
Aquatic biomes
Used for
human
activities
but affected by
pollution
Pollution
from
humans
has caused
marine
life to
slowly die
LARDOG factors affecting climate
Latitude
Altitude
Prevailing winds
Distance
from the
sea
Ocean currents
Great mountain barriers
Latitude
How
far
you are from the
equator
Altitude
How
high
you are above
sea
level
Higher
altitudes are
colder
than lower ones
Prevailing winds
The direction from which the
wind
usually
blows
Places near the sea usually have
milder
climates with
smaller
temperature ranges
Places
far
from the
sea
have more extreme temperatures
Ocean currents
can warm or cool the climate of
coastal
areas
Mountains can block
wind
and
rain
, affecting the climate on either side
Great mountain barriers
can affect the distribution of
deserts
Tundra latitude
can affect its distribution
Grasslands
are affected by
great mountain barriers
due to lack of rain
Rainforest
Have
plants
and
animals
like ferns, orchids, and rubber trees
Rainforests have temperatures of 20°C to
30°C
and rainfall of
600
cm
Rainforests
are located in Australia,
Thailand
, and Indonesia
Biome
An area of plants and
animals
suited to that place because of its
climate
and natural features
Different terrestrial and aquatic biomes in Australia
Desert
Marine
Grasslands
Tropical
forest
Temperate
forest
Coral
reefs
Climate
The
weather
pattern that happens over a
long
period in an area of the earth
Biomes
are regions showing similar temperature, elevation, humidity, precipitation, wind, and other rainfall patterns
Climate affects
biomes
It is a major factor in determining types of life that live in a particular
biome
Tundra
description
Made up of
plants
and
animals
like small shrubs, polar bears, and seals
The soil in a
tundra
is called
permafrost
Tundras have temperatures of
-5°C
to
10°C
with a rainfall of 30-50 cm
Tundras are located in
Canada
,
Russia
, and Greenland
Desert description
Has
animals
and
plants
like cacti, camels, and lizards
Soils aren't very
fertile
in a desert because it's so
dry
Deserts have temperatures of
10°C
to
35°C
with a rainfall of less than 25 cm
Deserts
are located in every continent but
Europe
