Desert, Savannah, Rainforest, Mediterranean Mrs. Tucker 7th Grade World History/Honors Cobalt Institute of Math and Science

Desert Savannah A landscape or region that receives an extremely low amount of precipitation. Less than enough rainfall to support growth of most plants Most deserts have an average annual precipitation of less than 16 inches The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground Common definition is basically a grassy woodland with a significant woody plant components

Rainforest Mediterranean Are forests characterized by high rainfall. With definitions based on minimum normal rainfall of 68 – 78 inches (which is about 6 ½ feet) Climate characterized by warm to hot, dry summers and mild to cool, wet winters
