3: In an average year in a tropical rain forest, the climate is very humid because of all the rainfall, which amounts to about 250 cm per year. The rain forest has lots of rain because it is very hot and wet. This climate is found near the equator.Tropical rain forests inhabit the equatorial belt, and are characterized by intense sunlight, heat and large amounts of rainfall. The largest forests are found in South America, Central Africa and the Indonesian archipelago. Although rain forests across the world share certain characteristics, rain forest classifications can be further subdivided depending on the amount of rainfall per year. These subdivisions are evergreen rain forest, seasonal rain forest, semi-evergreen forest, and a moist and dry, or monsoon forest. The topography of a rain forest varies from region to region, but all rain forests share certain features of vegetation and ecology.]]> 2018-02-07 16:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229188142 304350 https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229194777 1: Broad Winged Hawk, Cardinal, Snowy Owl, Pileated Woodpecker, White-tailed Deer, Raccoon, Opossum, Porcupine, True Foxes, and Brown Bear.

3: PLANTS: Trees and plants in deciduous forests have special adaptations to survive in this biome. ...ANIMALS: Animals in temperate deciduous forests have to adapt to changing seasons. They must be able to cope with cold winters and hot summers.
4: The temperate deciduous forest is a biome that is always changing. It has four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. Winters are cold and summers are warm. Temperate deciduous forests get between 30 and 60 inches of precipitation a year.]]> 2018-02-07 16:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229194777 304350 https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229201448 1: Foxes, Lynxes, Bears, Minks, Squirrels, Caribou, Reindeers,  Moose, grey Wolves, Grizzly Bears.

3: The taiga is the terrestrial biome with the lowest annual average temperatures after the tundra and permanent ice caps. ... The taiga or boreal forest has a subarctic climate with very large temperature range between seasons, but the long and cold winter is the dominant feature.
4: Also known as boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces and larches. The taiga is the world's largest biome apart from the oceans.]]> 2018-02-07 16:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229201448 304350 https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229207953 1: Jaguar, African Wild Dog, Pronghorn, Black Foot Ferret, Plains Bison, Mountain Plover, African Buffalo, Anaconda, Anteater, and Plains Bison.

3: Temperate grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can be as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. They typically have between 10 and 35 inches of precipitation a year, much of it occurring in the late spring and early summer.
4: Grassland ecosystems are particularly fragile because water is scarce.]]> 2018-02-07 17:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229207953 304350 https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229673321 1: Acorn woodpecker, Jack rabbits, Mule deer.

3: During the day the temperature may reach 50°C, when at night it may fall to below 0°C. Deserts have less than 250 mm of rainfall per year. The rain can be unreliable. Most deserts are found between 20° and 35° north and south of the equator. The Sahara is the largest desert, covering 9 million km^2.
4: Deserts cover about one fifth of the Earth's surface and occur where rainfall is less than 50 cm/year. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229679673 304350 https://padlet.com/304350/ewh8swfwelig/wish/229688458 1: Lemmings, voles, caribou, arctic hares, squirrels, arctic foxes, wolves, polar bears, ravens, snow buntings.
