Biomes BIOMES

Pg. 5 A. What are Biomes? 1. A biome is a large area that has a particular climate, flora and fauna. 2. Climate is average temperature and rainfall. 3. Flora means plants. 4. Fauna means animals.

B. Biotic and Abiotic Factors 1. Biotic- Living or once living- plants, animals, soil 2. Abiotic-Never living- air, wind, water 3. Main abiotic factors: Temperature and precipitation

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

C. Types of Biomes Tundra Taiga Temperate Forest Rainforest Deserts Prairie/Savanna Chaparral

3 Main Climate Zones-Polar, Temperate and Tropical

Page 7.A. 3 Main Climate Zones 1. Polar 2. Temperate 3. Tropical

B. Polar Zone 1. Located from the Poles to 66.5  N and S. 2. Coldest Temperatures of all 3 zones 3. Includes Tundra and Taiga Biome

C. Temperate Zone 1. Located from 66.5 N and S to 23.5 N and S. 2. Change of Seasons 3. Experience hot and cold temperatures. 4. Includes: Temperate Forest, Prairie, Chaparral and Desert.

D. Tropical Zone 1. Located from 23.5 N to 23.5 S. 2. Area along the equator. 3. Receives most solar radiation. 4. High temperatures/Precipitation varies Includes: Desert, Rainforest, Savanna
