Ecology Introduction Part 2 7th Grade Life Science Ecology Introduction Part 2
Biomes – large regions characterized by specific type of climate and certain types of plant and animal communities
Hadley cell model Shows the movement of water vapor around the globe
Local effect - Mountains
Rain Shadow Effect
Thermocline in ponds and lakes
Climate Data Although there are varying classification methods to describe biomes, all classification models rely on climatic data to help distinguish one biome from another. The ongoing collection of data allows scientists to study the changes that occur on Earth’s climates.
