Presentation transcript:

BIOMES Do they affect where we live?

Why do people choose to stay in one particular biome: Grazing Forests Good soil Growing crops Access to water

How does a biome affect how people live? Can they make a living? Will they be comfortable?

Two biomes that have a high density of people. Temperate Deciduous forest Tropical Deciduous forest

Why people choose to live here Not too hot Not too cold Not too dry Plenty of rain for farming

Two biomes that have a low density of population Hot desert Tundra Because Too hot Too dry to grow things

Our biome Temperate Grassland Hot, wet season Cold, dry season Natural vegetation is: Short grass, dies in winter Good grazing for: Sheep : Cattle Good for growing crops
