  living together.

• The climites are different every year they can be
  10 degrease high than it was a year before.

Types of biomes.
4
Arctic Tundra

• The warmest it can get there is 10 degrees
  Celsius.
• The plants there are low growing.
• Polar bears live there.

5
Coniferous Forest

• The tempeture in the coniferous forest is between
  31-55F .
• The plants are tall and are located in Canada and
  the USA.

6
Deciduous Forest

• Deciduous forests are found in the North America
  There are many deciduous forests in Asia.. South
  America has two big areas of deciduous forests in
  southern Chile and Middle East coast of Paraguay.
• The average annual temperature in a deciduous
  forest is 50 F. The average rainfall is 30 to 60
  inches a year.
• American Beech Carpet Moss Common Lime Guelder
  Rose Lady Fern Northern Arrowwood Pecan
  Shagbark Hickory Tawny Milksap Mushroom White
  Birch White Oak.
• American Bald Eagle American Black Bear Coyote
  Duckbill Platypus Eastern Chipmunk European Red
  Squirrel Fat Dormouse Least Weasel
  White-tailed Deer.

Grassland

• Grassland biomes are large rolling terrains of
  grasses flowers and herbs. A grassland is a
  region where the average annual precipitation is
  great enough to support grasses and in some
  areas a few trees. The precipitation is so eratic
  that drought and fire prevent large forests from
  growing. Grasses can survive fires because they
  grow from the bottom instead of the top. The soil
  of most grasslands is also too thin and dry for
  trees to survive.

9
Tropical rainforests

• The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall
  trees in a region of year-round warmth. An
  average of 125 to 660 cm of rain falls yearly.
• Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate
  group. The temperature in a rain forest rarely
  gets higher than 93 F or drops below 68 F the
  average humidity is between 77 and 88 rainfall
  is often more than 100 inches a year. There is
  usually a brief season of less rain.

Desert

• Deserts cover about one fifth of the Earths
  surface and occur where rainfall is less than 50
  cm/year. Although most deserts such as the
  Sahara of North Africa and the deserts of the
  southwestern U.S. Mexico and Australia occur
  at low latitudes another kind of desert cold
  deserts occur in the basin and range area of
  Utah and Nevada and in parts of western Asia.
  Most deserts have a considerable amount of
  specialized vegetation as well as specialized
  vertebrate and invertebrate animals.

• There are relatively few large mammals in deserts
  because most are not capable of storing lots of
  cold water and arent able to stand the heat.
  Deserts often provide little shelter from the sun
  for large animals. Mammals are usually small
  like the kangaroo mice of North American deserts.
