This allows scientists to group ecosystems into categories called biomes.]]> 2018-11-20 15:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306389004 26wolkol https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306393861 a tundra is a really cold area found near the northern most parts of the Earth are called tundras by scientists. These locations are known for their long cold winters, and their short cool summers.]]> 2018-11-20 15:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306393861 26wolkol https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306395177 deserts are found throughout the Earth. These dry locations have specialized plants and animals that have become adapted to surviving on little water. Some plants and animals can actually store water within their bodies, such as cactus, camels, and some varieties of frogs found in Australia.]]> 2018-11-20 15:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306395177 26wolkol https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306750092 a grassland exist throughout the Earth, and in many cases can be vast, expanding across millions of square miles, or kilometers. These biomes are marked by sparse trees and extensive grasses as well as a variety of small and large animals. Some of the largest land animals on Earth live in grasslands, including American bison, elephants, giraffes, and so forth.]]> 2018-11-21 14:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306750092 26wolkol https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306750881 a tropical rain forest are found in locations that receive significant amounts of precipitation. These locations are easily recognizable by their abundance of lifeforms. These lifeforms include numerous trees, plants such as ferns, and an abundance of insects, spiders, snakes, monkeys, and other plants and animals.]]> 2018-11-21 14:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306750881 26wolkol https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306753785 a  Coniferous Forest ecosystems are found in regions of the earth that experience somewhat long and cold winters, with summer being much shorter. Thus, it is no surprise that these biomes are more common the closer one travels towards the Earth’s poles. Additionally, this biome is found high atop mountains where temperatures tend to be lower and winter tends to last longer.]]> 2018-11-21 14:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306753785 26wolkol https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306754696 a Deciduous Forest exist in areas with a moderate amount of precipitation and where temperatures are also generally moderate. These ecosystems typically have long warm summers, and short cool winters. The most noticeable feature is the abundance of deciduous trees. A deciduous tree is a tree that loses all its leaves in autumn.]]> 2018-11-21 14:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/26wolkol/ghx2e9c5g8ab/wish/306754696
