Climate and Temperature . The climate of the marine biome is mostly varied. Since it is the largest biome in the world, the climate varies from -40 degrees fahreheit to over 100 degrees. The average temperature is 39 degrees fahrenheit, but it is warmer near the equator where the direct rays of sun can pierce the water and warm it. The coldest is in the north and south poles, where the water is close to freezing if not frozen (Glaciers). Also, the deeper the ocean is, the colder the water will be because the sunlight isn't directly piercing it.. Importance of Marine Biomes. Oceans represent the largest and most diverse of the . ecosystems.. Salt . water evaporates and turns to rain which falls on the land regions, while most of the oxygen in our atmosphere is generated by algae.  . Biomes.

Extremely fertile area where a river meets an ocean; mixture of saltwater and freshwater; serves as a nursery for many species of fish. By Brylie Holdbrook and Brooklyn Beckstead. 1. The animals in the tundra biome. Many animals live in the tundra biome some of these animals are Caribou, Ermine, water birds, mosquitoes, polar bears, arctic fox, White wolves, grizzly bears, gray falcons, bald eagles, bumble bees, squirrels, Norway lemmings,and voles.. Welcome!. Come take a tour of the tundra biome with Atzhari and Isabella! hope you enjoy (': please enjoy the beauty of it all. . Tundra Biome Map . Tundra Climate. The tundra biome is an ecosystem situated near the North Pole in the Arctic Circle. It is by far the coldest of all biomes. The winters are extremely cold with temperatures typically below -34° C. The summers last only about two months and the temperatures are still very cold ranging from 3° to 12° C. This biome still sustains life although it encounters these extreme temperatures. Some animals, insects, and even plants thrive there. Yearly precipitation, including melting snow, is 150 to 250 mm. The arctic tundra biome ranges from 300 to 11,079 feet in elevation.. What is a Biome? _______________________________ ______________________________________________. Directions:. 1. Use page 99 of the Prentice Hall biology book and color code the biomes of the world (pg 2 of this packet). http://www.neok12.com/php/watch.php?v=zX0215667004445d05420545&t=Ecosystems. Why do we find different plants and animals in different biomes?. Plants and animals are adapted to live in their biome. They live within that certain climate.. By Ron Fink and John Heath. The Right Biome. Once there were some critters. So tired of the zoo. They want back to nature. But do not have a clue.. What habitat would suit them?. What spot would be their niche?. Climate is also a major factor in determining the type of biome. There are 7 major biomes:. Tundra. Taiga. Deciduous Forest. Grassland. Rainforest. Desert. Aquatic. Tundra. Occur between 50-70 . °. .

That, in turn, influences what . biota. Biomagnification. is the process by which matter becomes concentrated in living things in a food chain.. Moving up the Food Chain . DDT provides one example of the effects of . biomagnification. in an ecosystem. DDT is a chemical that was widely used to kill plant–eating insects. Some chemicals break down over time, but DDT does not. DDT collected in water and soil, was absorbed by living things, and moved up the food chain. The diagram shows how DDT became magnified in a wetland ecosystem. It entered through tiny organisms called zooplankton, which absorbed DDT from the water..
