Title: Biomes Terrestrial Only


1
BiomesTerrestrial Only
  • Tropical Rainforest
  • Temperate Rainforest
  • Desert
  • Grassland
  • Deciduous Forest
  • Boreal Forest/also called Taiga
  • Tundra

2
BiomesThese are the four areas we will look at.
  • Location
  • Climate
  • Vegetation
  • Animals

3
Tropical Rainforest
  • Location Near equator Africa, South America
  • Climate Hot, and rainy
  • Vegetation Abundant plants, trees form a canopy
  • Animals Many insects, huge variety of animals

4
Tropical Rainforest
  • Contains more species of plants and animals of
    all other Biomes combined.

5
Temperate Rainforest
  • Location Northwest United States
  • Climate Moderate, lots of rain
  • Vegetation Huge trees
  • Animals Large selection

6
Temperate Rainforest
  • The animals

7
Temperate Rainforest
  • Famous for huge trees

8
Grasslands
  • Location Africa, United States, South America,
    Asia, Europe
  • Climate Moderate amount of rain, not enough to
    support trees. Cold but not harsh winters
    semi-hot summers
  • Vegetation Grass limited trees
  • Animals Home to largest land animals. Elephants,
    Rhino, Buffalos, Hippos

9
Grasslands
  • The animals

10
Desert
  • Location Found on every continent.
  • Climate Hot, dry, cool to cold nights except
    Antartica which is very cold
  • Vegetation Very little
  • Animals Little variety, many small, adapted to
    extreme heat or cold,and very dry conditions

11
Desert
  • Plants and animals must survive with little water

12
Deciduous Forest
  • Location Six of seven continents, South
    America, Africa, Kennesaw GA.
  • Climate Seasons, above average rainfall, Not
    extremly hot, nor cold
  • Vegetation Trees drop leaves in fall, grow in
    spring
  • Animals Medium variety, average number of insects

13
Boreal Forest/ Taiga/ Coniferous Forest
  • Location Northern Europe, Russia, Canada
    Northern North America
  • Climate Cold, heavy snowfall
  • Vegetation Coniferous Trees, limited variety
    because of harsh climate
  • Animal limited variety, moose, deer, beavers,
    insects

14
Boreal Forest
  • Animals and Plants

15
Tundra
  • Location Extreme north, Arctic
  • Climate Very cold, dry
  • Vegetation Few trees, limited plants, moss,
    lichen, permafrost
  • Animals Caribou, insects in summer, wolves,
    birds that fly south, polar bear

16
Freshwater Biomes/Ponds Lakes
  • Bodies of standing or still water
  • Algae are your major producers
  • Insects, snails, amphibians, fish, are some of
    your animals.
  • Catfish are scavengers and bacteria are
    decomposer in a lake or pond

17
Freshwater Biomes
18
Rivers and Streams
  • Both have moving water
  • The headwaters are where rivers and streams
    begin.
  • Plants and animals are adapted for the moving
    water.

19
Marine Biomes / Estuaries
  • Estuaries Where fresh water of a river meets salt
    water of the ocean
  • Common animals are crabs,worms,clams, fish,algae.

20
Marine Biomes/Intertidal
  • Intertidal The part of the beach between the
    highest high tide and lowest low tide

21
Marine Biomes/Neritic
  • Neritic The part of the ocean that extends over
    the continental shelf.
  • Contains many schools of fish, coral reefs, and
    algae

22
Marine Biomes/Surface
  • Surface Zone The area of the ocean in which light
    penetrates
  • Only goes down a few hundred meters
  • This zone contains the oceans producers which
    drive all of the other zones

23
Marine Biomes/Deep Zone
  • Deep Zone Most of the water is completely dark
  • Most animals feed on animals that sink down from
    the surface zone
  • Home of some bizarre-looking animals

24
The Deep Zone
