The tropical rainforests

2018-02-09 14:04:51 UTC

The animals that live in a tropical rainforest are the blue morpho butterfly,Boa constrictor,Caiman,green anaconda ,leaf cutter ant,leopard,piranha,and more.
Type of plants are:epiphytes,orchids,and bromeliads.
The climate is:Very humid because of all the rainfall which amounts to about 250 cm per year.The rainforests has a lot of rain because it is very hot and wet.The climate is found near the equator.
Because of the tropical rainforests immense diversity they provide many different niches in which the organisms can live.Niches will be related to vertical

Tundra

2018-02-09 14:07:13 UTC

The tundra is the coldest of all the Biomes.It has a average temp of -34. As you can tell the Tundra has no trees because of the climate. some of the plants that are in the Tundra are the labrador Tea, The Diamond leaf, and many others.The Tundra and many animals such as Reindeer musk ox, the arctic fox, the polar bear and much more. One of the adaptation of the animals in the tundra is the fur. Animals like the arctic fox have white fur to camouflage itself.

The Ocean:

2018-02-09 16:38:14 UTC

Some animal that live in the ocean includes: Dolphins, Starfish, Stingrays, sharks, Jellyfish. Some plants that live in the ocean include: Kelp, Seaweed, Coral, Sea grass, Phytoplankton. Niche: Freshwater fish placed in the ocean have difficulty maintaining water balance due to the ocean's salinity and actually die of dehydration. An example of one animal that has adapted to the ocean would be the bottlenose dolphins. They have adapted by having a streamline shape and fins instead of legs. They also have blowholes on the tops of their heads. Our biam can be found in over 3/4 of the Earth, Like Florida.

Tropical Rainforest

2018-02-09 16:39:49 UTC

The Tropical Rainforests occurs in areas climate in which there is no dry season. Some of the animals that live in the Tropical Rainforests are Orangutan, a Golden Lion Tamarin, a Sloth, a Boa Constrictor, a Chimpanzee, a Toucan, a Leopard, a Elephant, and a Bongo. All of the animals in the Tropical Rainforests use camouflage to avoid predators. Some plants that live in the Tropical Rainforests are Rubber Trees, Orchids, Giant Water Lilies, Passion Fruit Flower, Monkey Brush Vine, Banana Trees, Coffee plants, and Heliconia Flower. These plants. On some of the trees and plants, they use smoothness on it to make sure any other plants grow on it. In the Tropical Rainforests, the climate is very humid because all the rainfall, which amounts to about 250 cm per year. The Tropical Rainforests has lots of rain because it is very hot and wet. Tropical Rainforests can be found in South America, Africa, and Asia. Smaller Rainforests can be in Central America, Madagascar, Australia, nearby islands, India, and other locations in the tropics.

Grasslands

2018-02-09 16:41:00 UTC

CLIMATE: Grasslands have hot summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures can be well over 100 degrees F., while winter temperatures can be as low as -40 degrees F. They typically have between 10 and 35 inches of precipitation a year, much of it occurring in the late spring and early summer.

ANIMALS: The grasslands have many animals including Geckos, Snakes, Rabbits, Wombats, Sloth beats, Hippos, and Zebras.

PLANTS: Trees and large shrubs are rarely found in grassland areas. There are many species of grasses that live in this biome, including, purple needle grass, wild oats, foxtail, rye grass, and buffalo grass.

HOW DO THE ANIMALS ADAPT: Some animals, such as bison, have broad, flat-topped teeth and digestive systems especially adapted to feed on grasses. Many prairie animals have front legs and paws that allow them to burrow into the ground, where they are protected from predators.

WHERE CAN THIS BIOME BE FOUND: grasslands are located north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the Tropic of Capricorn. The major temperate grasslands include the veldts of Africa the pampas of South America the steppes of Eurasia, and the plains of North America.

Coral Reef

2018-02-09 16:43:39 UTC

Some animals that live in the coral reef are octopus, sea turtles, starfish, eel, sea cucumber, clown fish, and small sharks. Plus all the plants that live there, including, algae, seagrass (seaweed), zooxanthellae , and many more. This is only a few out of thousands of organisms that live there.
Many coral reefs are usually between 73 degrees fahrenheit and 84 degrees fahrenheit , but they can tolerate up to 104 degress fahrenheit. They can't tolerate water temperatures below 64° fahrenheit.
Coral Reefs can be found in tropical oceans near the equator. The largest coral reef is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
An adaptation is when clownfish hide in plants so preditors cannot find them or reach them.

desert

2018-02-09 16:45:45 UTC

The desert is home to many animals such as camels ,scorpions , storks ,the gila monster ,rattlesnake ,desert elephant ,and coyote and is also home to many plants such as the barrel cactus , baileya , stenocereus thurberi ,echinocactus grusonii ,The reason these plants live in this climate is because they have specially adapted to need a lot less water than the average animal. During the day temperatures can reach up to 50 degrees celsius and fall below freezing during the night. They also only receive only 250 mm of rain per year. NICHE - The role a particular species plays within its ecosystem; this includes its selection of food, water and shelter sources as well as other facets of its behavior. this is the deserts niche. I think.

Tundra

2018-02-09 16:46:34 UTC

The tundra is among Earth's coldest, harshest biome. The tundra can be found in Antarctica The climate is cold and windy, and the rainfall is scant. The animals there have adapted to the cold in many ways. For example, the Polar Bear and Arctic wolves have adapted over time. They have two layers of fur to keep warm, their fur is white to keep them hidden when hunting, the pads on their feet make it where they can easily walk on ice, and their sharp claws and teeth make it easy for them to eat their prey. There are also Arctic hares in the tundra. Their white fur keeps them hidden from predators and it is also very thick keeping them warm, and their ears and limbs have been shortened to make it easy for them to travel quickly through the snow. As you can almost all the animals there have adapted by getting thicker fur, and they have strong limbs to help them get away and travel fast and easy. Some of the plants that can be found in the tundra are low shrubs, sedges, reindeer mosses, liver warts, and over 400 types of flowers.

Arctic Wolf

DELTA WETLANDS

animals - manny species of ducks such as: Mallards, green and blue winged teal, shovelers, canvasbacks, redheads, wood ducks, and even many species of geese. There are also southern alligators, green sea turtles, many snake species, deer, bobcats, coyote, panthers, many bird species, foxes, armadillos, racoons, and a ton of plants. Some plants are ferns, canes, reed, oak trees, cypress trees, tupelo gum trees, pines, cedars, willow, poison ivy, sumac, and duck weed. The climate is hot during the summer and cold during the winter. It recives alot of rainfall with thick mud and even quciksand in someplaces.

NICHE: Attracts animals that eat their seeds, fruit and nuts. Attracts animals such as Deer, Squirrels, Coons, and Black Bears to collect their nuts.
WHERE: Eastern half of the United States, Canada, Europe, parts of Russia, China, and Japan.

Coral Reef

2018-02-09 18:45:37 UTC

what makes the coral reef different then another biome? The special plant life and other coral colors. The fish and small marine life that have homes in the coral and sea plants (sea anemone). The maribe like that live in these places are usually clown fish, angel fish, and small plankton and other samlle creatures. Some small octopuses and little sea stars will take habitats in these reef's. The climate is warm tropical weathers and sunny days. The waters are kinda warm but not to warm the sea life can live. The niche is it provides the life for the predators it is its own ecosystem. The predators can easily glides through the reef to catch the small prey that live within the reef. The weather is warm tropical and sunny. The reef's are located around the shores of the Atlantic, Pacific Oceans , and Indian oceans.

Temperate Rain Forest

2018-02-09 19:09:42 UTC

A temperate rain forest is a broadleaf forest that occurs a temperate zone and receive heavy rainfall. Animals that live in this area can be beavers, raccoons, cougars, black bears, and elk. The elk is the most important animal though.
