BIOME PROJECT BY JARED WILLIAMS

BIOMES

• Tundra
• Rain forest
• Desert
• Grasslands
• Aquatic
• Forest
• Deciduous forest
• Boreal forest

TUNDRA

• The tundra latitude and longitude are 55-75
• 10 inches to 3 feet are covered in ice
• Extremely cold and dry
• Most of the soil in the tundra is frozen all year ,frozen soil is known as permafrost

RAIN FOREST

• The tropical rain forest gets 50-260 inches of rain per yearl
• The tempature is 93 degrees fahrenheit and 34 degrees celsius
• The rain forest is full of treees and other living organisms
• Huge trees grow in this area

DESERT

• The desert is a dry dusty biome
• The temperature is 64 degrees fahrenheit and 18 degrees celsius
• The desert gets 1 inch of rain per year
• The latitude and longatude are 15-28
• Organisms that exist there have to adapt to the climate

GRASSLANDS

• The grassland is about 5 million square miles half of africa
• The grasslands get 20-50 inches of rain
• The tempature of the grassland is 100 degrees farinhite and 40 defrees celceus

AQUATIC

• It is made up of two groups of water sources: fresh water and marine
• Fresh water consists of lakes ponds rivers streams and wetlands
• Marine consists of oceans coral reefs and estuaries

BOREAL FOREST

• Winters are very cold
• The snow can reach heights over your head
• Tree species are well adapted to cold climate
• These animals include red squirrels, insects, and birds such as finches and chickadees

DECIDOUS FOREST

• Most of the trees have leaves that change colors and drop leaves each autumn
• The rain that is recieved supports growth and other plants
• The growing season last five to six months
• Temperatures vary greatly during the year

FOREST

• The forest is some time known as the taiga (russian name)
• Its the largest land biome
• During the summer the wer soil is good for lichens and mosses
• Fir and spruce rrees grow in this area
