What is a Biome? Large geographic area that has similar climates and ecosystems. Large geographic area that has similar climates and ecosystems.

What Makes Each Biome Different? Each biome contains distinctive types of animals and plants Each biome contains distinctive types of animals and plants

What Factors Affect a Biome? Type of biome is determined by: Type of biome is determined by: Natural environment LatitudeAltitudeTerrain

Latitude is the Deciding Factor Latitude is the major climate influencing factor that determine biomes Latitude is the major climate influencing factor that determine biomes Biodiversity increases as you move away from the poles and towards the equator Biodiversity increases as you move away from the poles and towards the equator

Terrestrial Biomes Different Types: Different Types:Desert/Tundra Grasslands- Savannas, Steppes and Prairies Coniferous Forest Deciduous Forest Tropical Rainforest

Aquatic Biomes Each aquatic biome has distinctive plants/animals Each aquatic biome has distinctive plants/animals Two Types: Freshwater & Saltwater Two Types: Freshwater & Saltwater Freshwater biome have a salt concentration of less than 1% while saltwater biomes have a salt concentration of 3% Freshwater biome have a salt concentration of less than 1% while saltwater biomes have a salt concentration of 3%

Freshwater Biomes Influenced by: the pattern and speed of water flow; climate Influenced by: the pattern and speed of water flow; climate 3 Types: Ponds/Lakes, Streams/River, & Wetlands 3 Types: Ponds/Lakes, Streams/River, & Wetlands
