  2. Hello • We are about to take a trip to see all the world’s biomes . • We are going to see many different things from dry places to the rainiest but watch out.

  3. This is the Tundra • In the next couple of slides we will be talking about the Tundra. • You will find out some cool stuff that you might not know.

  4. Tundra is a type of grassland with tall snowy mountains. Well the average temperature of tundra is -12ْ C. The normal rain amount for this area is less than 25cm yearly. So as you see this is a very dry area. Tundra

  6. Plant & Animal Life • Tundra doesn’t have many trees in it. • The main vegetation is grass and mosses. • Some of the animals are insects, ducks, geese, voles, birds, and mice.

  7. The Taiga • If you don’t know what the tundra is then these next few slides are for you. • In them we are going to talk about their plant life, temperature, and many other things.

  8. TAIGA

  9. Taiga • Normal rain amount is 25cm – 100cm yearly. It is located between 50ْ and 60ْ north latitude. The main plant life is trees, mosses, & lichens. Also some of the animals are moose, lynx, shrews, bears, & foxes.

  10. Taiga • Taiga is a woodland area with wooded mountains. • It’s normal temperature in winter is 0ْْ C and more than 30ْ C in summer.

  11. The Grassland • The Grassland is very diverse and we will learn how • It has many different animals and plants so let’s find out what they are.

  12. Grassland • Grassland is an open valley with green grasses in it. • It is mainly warm and humid and has around 25cm-75cm of annual precipitation.

  13. Plants Some of the plants in this area are wheat, rye, tall grasses, oats, barley, & corn. Animals Some of the animals of grassland are wildebeest, impalas, zebras, and kangaroos. Plant & Animal Life

  15. An overview of the Desert • What do you think when you think Desert? • Hot, dry, no life well in these next few slides you will learn about the life, rain fall, temperature, and many other things.

  16. The desert is the driest biome on earth. It has very thin soil, and sand dunes. This biome is normally very hot and dry, it doesn’t receive a lot of rain. Also it gets less than 25cm of rain yearly. It is mainly found around the equator, but it is also found in many of the other continents. Desert

  19. Temperate Deciduous Forest • Do you know a lot about the forest? • Well if you don’t then you are going to learn lots of things about it.

  20. Temperate Deciduous • Biome with four distinct seasons, it is a climax community. • The normal temperature is 30ْ C.

  21. Animals Some of the animals that live in this area are lynx, bobcats, song birds, lizards, & snakes. Plants Some of the plants in this area are evergreen trees, dogwoods, moss, oak, & maple trees. Plants & Animals

  22. Temperate Deciduous forest map • This certain biome receives around 75-100cm of yearly rain • These forest are mainly found in Europe, & North America.

  23. Temperate Rain Forest view • You probably know about the rain forest but there are two types and we will be finding out the differences in them. • So hop on and let’s see.

  24. Temperate Rain Forest • This biome receives 200cm-400cm of annual rain, and it is dominated by trees with needle like leaves.

  25. TemperateRain Forest • Rain forest are found in many countries such as New Zealand, Southern Chile, and the Pacific Northwest. • The regular temperature for this biome is between 9ْ C and 12ْ C • The main plants are tall trees with needle like leaves • The main animals are bird, lizards, & wild cats.

  28. Tropical Rain Forest • These forest are found in South America, & the British Isles. • Rain forest receives 200-600cm of rain during twelve-month cycle.

  29. The majority of the animals in the Tropical Rain Forests are tropical birds, frogs, lizards, and large wild cats. Most of the plants are vines, & trees Tropical Rain Forest

  30. Tropical Rainforest • Many animals live in the rainforest but one special one is the tiger. • This wonderful creature is slowly becoming extint so help us out here. • We want them to live to see tomorrow .
