1. Grudgeball Unit 3- Land biomes

2. Question 1 Which city has the most equable (constant) climate?

3. Q 2 Which of the following has more summer rainfall?

4. Q3 Which has more winter rainfall?

5. Q4 Based from the graph, what biome is Tindouf, Algeria?

6. Q5 Which city has more annual rainfall?

7. Q6 Which city has overall higher temperatures?

8. Q7 Describe the climate of Perth, Australia (temperature and rainfall)

9. Q8 Describe the climate of Mangalore, India

10. Q9 Describe the climate in Dallas, TX

11. Q10 Describe the climate for New York, NY

12. Q11 Describe the climate of Los Angeles, CA

13. Q12 Describe the climate for Barrow, Alaska

14. Q14 As latitude increases, what happens to the temperature of the biome? – Decreases

15. Q14 As altitude increases, what happens to the temperature of the biome? Decreases

16. Q15 What are the two most significant abiotic factors that influence the type of biome? – Temperature and precipiation

17. Q16 If an ecosystem is on the leeward side of a mountain, what can we assume about the precipitation? – Very little (probably a desert of some kind)

18. Q17 Describe the process of primary succession. – Starts with rock (no soil) – Pioneer species (lichens or moss) along with wind and water help to break down the soil – Weeds and small grasses start to grow – Then small trees and shrubs enter – Then climax species (big trees) inhabit the area

19. Q18 Ms. Kunde’s succulent plant (jade) would most likely live in what biome? – Desert

20. Q19 Describe the process of secondary succession. – Soil already present, destruction due to fire, tornado, volcano, etc – Weeds and grasses enter – Then small trees and shrubs – Then big trees (hickory, oak, pine, maple)

21. Q20 What adaptation does the succulent have to be able to live in such dry climates? – Thickened covering to store water!

22. Q21 What is the term for an area that has its own geography and climate? – Biome

23. Q22 Give an example of a pioneer species. – Lichens or mosses

24. Q23 Where on the map would you find a tundra? –A–A

25. Q24 Which area would you expect to have the warmest and most consistent temperatures? – AD

26. Q25 What is the rainshadow effect? – Warm moist air travels up mountain ranges, cools and condenses. This causes more rainfall on the windward side and little to no rainfall on the leeward side.

27. Q26 Predict the climate (precipitation and temp) from the follow hypothetical. – This region is on the leeward side of a mountain. It is close to the equator and it is landlocked (no major bodies of water surrounding it)

28. Q27 A region is at approximately 60˚ N (latitude). What type of biome would you expect to be at that location? Taiga or Tundra
