  1. BiomesTerrestrial Only Tropical Rainforest Temperate Rainforest Desert Grassland Deciduous Forest Boreal Forest/also called Taiga Tundra

  2. BiomesThese are the four areas we will look at. • Location • Climate • Vegetation • Animals

  3. Tropical Rainforest • Location: Near equator Africa, South America • Climate: Hot, and rainy • Vegetation: Abundant plants, trees form a canopy • Animals: Many insects, huge variety of animals

  4. Tropical Rainforest • Contains more species of plants and animals of all other Biomes combined.

  5. Temperate Rainforest • Location: Northwest United States • Climate: Moderate, lots of rain • Vegetation: Huge trees • Animals: Large selection

  6. Temperate Rainforest The animals

  7. Temperate Rainforest • Famous for huge trees

  8. Grasslands • Location: Africa, United States, South America, Asia, Europe • Climate: Moderate amount of rain, not enough to support trees. Cold but not harsh winters semi-hot summers • Vegetation: Grass limited trees • Animals: Home to largest land animals. Elephants, Rhino, Buffalos, Hippos

  9. Grasslands • The animals

  10. Desert • Location: Found on every continent. • Climate: Hot, dry, cool to cold nights except Antartica which is very cold • Vegetation: Very little • Animals: Little variety, many small, adapted to extreme heat or cold,and very dry conditions

  11. Desert • Plants and animals must survive with little water

  12. Deciduous Forest • Location : Six of seven continents, South America, Africa, Kennesaw GA. • Climate: Seasons, above average rainfall, Not extremly hot, nor cold • Vegetation: Trees drop leaves in fall, grow in spring • Animals: Medium variety, average number of insects

  13. Boreal Forest/ Taiga/ Coniferous Forest • Location: Northern Europe, Russia, Canada Northern North America • Climate: Cold, heavy snowfall • Vegetation: Coniferous Trees, limited variety because of harsh climate • Animal: limited variety, moose, deer, beavers, insects

  14. Boreal Forest • Animals and Plants

  15. Tundra • Location: Extreme north, Arctic • Climate: Very cold, dry • Vegetation: Few trees, limited plants, moss, lichen, permafrost • Animals: Caribou, insects in summer, wolves, birds that fly south, polar bear

  16. Freshwater Biomes/Ponds Lakes • Bodies of standing or still water • Algae are your major producers • Insects, snails, amphibians, fish, are some of your animals. • Catfish are scavengers and bacteria are decomposer in a lake or pond

  17. Freshwater Biomes

  18. Rivers and Streams • Both have moving water • The headwaters are where rivers and streams begin. • Plants and animals are adapted for the moving water.

  19. Marine Biomes / Estuaries • Estuaries Where fresh water of a river meets salt water of the ocean • Common animals are crabs,worms,clams, fish,algae.

  20. Marine Biomes/Intertidal • Intertidal The part of the beach between the highest high tide and lowest low tide

  21. Marine Biomes/Neritic • Neritic The part of the ocean that extends over the continental shelf. • Contains many schools of fish, coral reefs, and algae

  22. Marine Biomes/Surface • Surface Zone The area of the ocean in which light penetrates • Only goes down a few hundred meters • This zone contains the oceans producers which drive all of the other zones

  23. Marine Biomes/Deep Zone • Deep Zone Most of the water is completely dark • Most animals feed on animals that sink down from the surface zone • Home of some bizarre-looking animals

  24. The Deep Zone
