Info
A biome is an area that is comprised of similar geographical and climatic features, with rainfall being particularly important. It is also characterized by the distinctive life forms of plants and animals that inhabit it. When observing a map of biomes of the world, you will see where certain biomes are located. Due to the impact of climate, certain types of producers will flourish, as will the consumers in their food chain. Therefore, biomes are often identified by the plants and animals that inhabit them. There are several different biomes of the world, but we are covering the six major land biomes. We will discuss grasslands, deciduous forests, rain forests, tiagas, tundras, and deserts.

What is the difference between a deciduous forest and a rain forest?
ReplyDeleteA deciduous forest is what we live in here in Kentucky. It is a biome that has four distinct seasons, but rarely has a snowcover all winter. Trees here lose their leaves in autumn.
ReplyDeleteA rain forest is a biome near the equator. Temperatures here are abut 77 degrees Fahrenheit all year long, and there is an average rainfall of 200cm.
