Biomes BIOMES

What are Biomes? A biome is a large area that has a particular climate, flora and fauna. Climate is temperature and rainfall. Flora means plants. Fauna means animals.

Biomes of the World Each of the world’s biomes has its own unique characteristics.

Types of Biomes Tundra Taiga Temperate Forest Rainforest Deserts Grasslands: Prairies/Savannas/Steppes/Pampas (Different areas have different names for their grasslands.)

3 Main Climate Zones Polar to 66.5 N Polar to 66.5 S Temperate 66.5N to 23.5N Tropical 23.5 N to 23.5 S Temperate 66.5S to 23.5S Polar to 66.5 S

Polar Zone Located from the Poles to 66.5 * N and S. Coldest Temperatures of all 3 zones Tundra Biome Taiga Biome

Temperate Zone Located from 66.5 N and S to 23.5 N and S. Change of Seasons Experience hot and cold temperatures. Temperate Forest Prairie Chaparral Desert

Tropical Zone Located from 23.5 N to 23.5 S. Area along the equator. Receives most solar radiation. High temperatures/Precipitation varies Desert Rain forest Savanna

Earth’s Climate Zones Complete the diagram: Draw the lines at the correct latitude and label the lines of latitude. Label the zones: Temperate, Tropical and Polar. Color the Tropical zone red, the Temperate zone green and the Polar zone blue.
