PPT-Chap 4 Climates & Biomes

Climate Determined by temperature precipitation Affects species distribution Species adapt to conditions Different climates lead to different communities of organisms especially vegetation Affected by. Vocabulary . Climate zone- an area that has similar average temperature and precipitation throughout. . Equator- an imaginary line that divides Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres. Latitude- a measure of how far north or south a place is from the equator. Climates. Describing Climates. There . are . three. major climate zones:. The planet can be divided into . climate. . zones. , regions that share similar weather conditions.. Tropical Zone. warm temperature which does not vary much throughout the year. 1.

Calcul du temps d’exécution d’une séquence d’opérations. Tropical climates are somewhat variable . In terms of moisture. In terms of temp on a day-night cycle. And somewhat consistent. In terms of annual temp. In terms of incoming solar radiation. Diurnal compared to annual temperature ranges defines the tropics. Interpolating Values. Animation(U), Chap 3, Interpolating Values. 1. 2. Outline. Interpolating/approximating curves. Controlling the motion of a point along a curve. Interpolation of orientation. Working with paths. Explain how biomes are characterized. Describe how net primary production varies among biomes. Explain how organisms are adapted to the conditions of their biomes. Describe the criteria ecologist use to classify aquatic systems. SIGNIFICANT IDEAS:. Climate determines the type of biome in a given area although individual ecosystems may vary due to many local abiotic and biotic factors.. Succession leads to climax communities that may vary due to random events and interactions over time. This leads to a pattern of alternative stable states for a given ecosystem.. History: . Ancient Greeks used to classify the environment into zones which had different degrees of warmth. This resulted in Aristotle describing the terrain in terms of flora and fauna. . Main characteristics and variables used to define biomes is: . The main shapers of climate are temperature, precipitation, and wind.. These factors form global patterns. Temperatures are warmest in and around the tropics and coolest near the poles.. Precipitation is greatest near the Equator.. . Crash Course on CHAP Amendments & Contract Rent Flexibilities.
