Biomes. A biome is one of Earth’s large ecosystems, with its own kind of climate, soil, plants, and animals.

WHAT IS A BIOME? A biome is a large region described by the climate type and the plants/animals that live there.

Rainforest, Biodiversity, Water Cycle. Biome: Environment characterized by climate and dominant flora (plants) and fauna (animals).

Ecology & Abiotic Factors Ecosystems Consist of living things, called organisms, and the physical place they live 12.1 Abiotic and Biotic Factors Examples:

Chapter 2.4 BIOMES. Target 1 BIOME I will identify the main factors that are used to determine a biome. a) Climate which is based on: Temperature Precipitation.

Climate Change ~An Introduction~. Weather and Climate Weather Atmospheric conditions for a specific place at a specific time. Climate The average weather.

BIOMES A biome is a large geographical area of distinctive plant and animal groups, which are adapted to that particular environment. The climate and geography.

Ecology. The study of the interactions that take place among organisms and their environment.

See how many answers you got correct!

Biomes Large geographical area of distinctive plants and animals that have adapted to that particular area. It is usually natural occurring conditions.

CLIMATE. What is Climate?  Climate is the average conditions of temperature and precipitation in a particular area.  Caused by many factors including:

1.1 - Biomes The word biosphere refers to anywhere on Earth living things exist. The biosphere is the thin layer of air, land and water on / near Earth’s.

Ecosystem An ecosystem is a community of living organisms.

Biomes Biome – large region characterized by specific climate & certain types of plants & animals – i.e., similar ecosystems – Also called a terrestrial.

Presentation transcript:

What is the relationship between climate and the types of vegetation throughout the world?

What are the major patterns of vegetation found on Earth?

Are similar vegetation patterns found in different parts of the world?

What animals are associated with the different vegetation patterns?

What type of adaptations are selected for in different biomes?

Do climates change over time?

What influences the climate of a particular region?

1. Altitude -  altitude,  temperature 2. Latitude – sun’s radiation is less direct as you move N or S from equator Proximity to large body of water (moderates temperature) Proximity to mountains Albedo (  albedo =  reflection =  temperature Humidity

Temperature and Precipitation Patterns Humidity: Amount of water vapour in air (reported as % water that air can hold at a specific temperature). Humidity  as temperature  Humidex = combines temperature and precipitation to give an indication of what the air “feels like” to people

HUMIDEX CHART

Temperature and Precipitation Patterns When air cools, thermal energy is removed from water vapor in the air, changes from gas to liquid (H vap ) The temperature when water vapor in air condenses is called DEW POINT.

Precipitation Rain (mm), snow (cm) 1 cm snow = 10 mm rain

Biomes Major geographic regions with similar environmental conditions Examples????

Taiga (boreal), desert, tropical rainforest, grasslands, fresh water, oceans, temperate deciduous, tundra…..

Ecosystem A community of living organisms that interact with each other and with the non- living (abiotic), physical environment. Examples?

Habitat Where an animal or plant lives (home) Examples?

Match animal to its habitat

Adaptations 3 types 1) physiological – occurs inside organism Examples?

Cold blooded vs. warm blooded Cold-blooded vs. warm- blooded Gizzard in bird, 4 stomachs in cows (digestion) Venom (snakes) Blue-ringed octopus Poison dart frog Black widow spider

2. Structural Adaptations Physical features on outside Examples?

Claws, teeth, camouflage, spines and thorns on cactus and plants

3. Behavioral Adaptations What an organism does Examples?

Migration, hibernation, nocturnal behaviors, mating behaviors and dances, broken wing behavior in birds com/watch?v=3UC KnC1L_Rc
