Life Science

2. There are 6 types of ecosystems in the world: ocean, desert, tundra, forest, grasslands, and wetlands. Some can be found in California and the United States others are found throughout the world.
Introduction

3. Ocean It covers 72% of the earths surface
“deep sea — where it's as dark as night and icy cold”
Kelp Forest
The Kelp forest is made up of large seaweed that can grow all the way to the surface

4. Desert The desert covers over one fifth of the earth.
Not many animals are able to live in the desert
There is little rain in the desert
During the Summer it is extremely hot during the rest of the year it is extremely warm

5. Tundra Arctic tundra: cold vast treeless area “earth's coldest biome”
They are located in the northern most part of the earth

6. Forest
Tropical rainforests are located close to the equator, in over 85 different countries
Temperate rainforests are found near coastal areas

7. Grassland There are 3 types:
Tall grasslands have very tall grass, up to 152 cm tall, and up to 80cm of rain a year.
Mixed grasslands have grasses that grow around cm high and about cm of rain each year.
Short grasslands have short grasses and receive very little rainfall each year, less than 15 cm

8. Wetland There are 3 types
Marshes- equal area of open water and vegetation.
Swamps- forested wetlands
Peatlands- soil is highly organic
